HRH The KING 0 Posted May 29, 2005 Decent episode. I don't like the Bynars at all. Very annoying. But this story was really about Riker and Minuet. It was actually quite charming and you could understand how he could fall in love with a holodeck character so appealing. This episode gets a rating of 1, just for Min. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted May 29, 2005 i have to say, i didn't get this episode at all. OF course i was like 10 years old the last time i watched it, it just seemed like they threw it together in a couple of minutes. Its a 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted June 6, 2005 I really liked the relationship of Riker and Minuet. She certainly was the first example of how easy it could be to fall for a hologram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted February 6, 2006 it was good. Not the best I've seen, but still interesting. **** out of ***** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIMIMELA 1 Posted February 6, 2006 The Bynars I thought looked cute B) But I thought of using a relationship in the holodeck as the "cause" was pathetic... I don't like the storyline much but I rated it 5 out of 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted November 22, 2007 4. The Bynars weren't great, but they made the story. Minuet was quite attractive. The story on the holodeck was good, and I loved the jazz musicians. The interaction between Picard and Riker was solid as well, not to mention Geordi and Data, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The interaction between Picard and Riker was solid as well, not to mention Geordi and Data, too. All true with the exception of, I liked the Bynars, so it gets a 5! Interesting from start to finish, it really held my attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
