HRH The KING 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Admittedly, this episode is pretty dumb. I mean seriously. The Ktarians expected to take over the Federation with a stinking game??? Starfleet should have just pointed at them and laughed. I'll give this a point, and this is ONLY because Ashley Judd was in this episode and she's just too damn cute and adorable not to award her a Royal Review Point. BTW- Do they really expect us to believe that Ashley Judd could fall for Wesley Frickin Crusher??? YEAH RIGHT!!! Rating = 1 Ashley Judd Point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted February 2, 2006 A good episode that I can't stand to watch due to the moans of everyone that plays the game. just grosses me out **** out of ***** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xero328 0 Posted May 22, 2007 In my opinion, Robin Lefler is the most attractive character in the Trek universe with Ezri Dax taking second. I like a few of Judd's movies, and she is cute, but Lefler herself is so lovely and pure that it's amazing to me. I don't want to go into much detail about what I did with Paramount, but let's just say that it is the one episode of TNG I wish I had been there on site to watch the filming.

Kor37 9 Posted May 22, 2007 Another Wesley Crusher saves the day epsisode, this time with his sidekick, Robin Lefler. Ashley Judd is one of the few good points about this episode. Lefler is a character that should have been brought back occassionally but without having a crush on Wesley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted January 19, 2008 This is the only episode of TNG to give me a nightmare, as a kid. It was a weird dream, too. Anyhoo, this episode was an attempt at critiquing our way of life in that we are absorbed in our need for entertainment. Despite the science and sci-fi that makes it seem more like a case of substance abuse, this episode is an observation and has proven somewhat prophetic of our sedentary (sp?) lifestyle where we give top priority to leisure and entertainment. "Amusing Ourselves To Death" as the book title says. Ashley Judd was beautiful and acted well in this episode, sure I'll say it. Other than Wesley saving the day, the drawback of this episode was to see how the addicts themselves became pushers. That was a hard sell, and while the cast did well with it, it didn't work completely. 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
