Quality Geordi LaForge episode.
I enjoyed the journey of LaForge working through his 'no game' issues and finding love with a holographic character who (is programmed) defines herself as a engineering like Geordi. You could look at this as being creepy but beyond Brauns being a bit too receptive to Geordi I bought into the bonding of these two characters through the process of solving problems.
A relationship/date is destined for disaster when you project yourself in a manner that you believe they want --- instead of just going into it being your 'flaws and all' self.
A nice tie-in to Picard's love of ancient modes of transportation with the Enterprise essentially 'sailing' it's way to safety.
The heart of the episode is Geordi figuring out who he is. He's a engineer --- a problem solver, not a Casanova. The theme of human intuition verses technology is one of the major themes peppered throughout this episode and the ultimate solution comes from good old human intuition that is informed by technology.
