Despite Commander Riker being a complete Alpha when it comes to driving the space car enterprise we have the wise old Captain taking manual control of the ship and using his experience to use the gravity of an asteroid to boost the enterprise out of harms way.
Burton has this charismatic quality about him that makes every scene he is in engaging, so this episode works for me on a performance level. I am also giving LaForge a free pass about becoming attached to a holodeck creation ---- If Holodecks existed in our current time, I would quit my job and be doing some very personal things in my own holodeck until the day I dropped dead.
It's a well executed episode about Geordi saving the enterprise via abandoning a reliance on technology but most importantly he learned the value of just being yourself with your imaginary space girlfriend.
What can i say? I like seeing LaForge happy.
