Jack's Notes
This one is just fun. The time ripples make for an interesting ending. Still, this is another one we could have seen on TOS - with Spock doing the time warp instead of Data, and Kirk meeting the lost love of his life on the holodeck.

Jack's Notes
I am a big Billy Campbell fan - great actor, loads of on-screen charisma...which is evident in this interesting sci-fi take on Gulliver's Travels. Campbell's wandering scoundrel, Okona is so fun it almost makes me want to leave the Enterprise and follow him for a few episodes....Can't wait to see the character again in the new Prodigy series.
