"The Big Goodbye". This episode is again, typical. There is the 'new' guy, Mr. Walker or Mr. Wells or something like that. I knew right away not to get too attached to this guy b/c he was probably going to die. Also typical, young Wesley Crusher joins the action and you guess it - solved the complex computer/physics/warp drive problem (according to my rough estimations he has been the hero about 40% of the time). With that in mind, I'll sum up the episode.
Captain Picard tries out the holodeck, playing into a 1920s private eye fantasy world. He has such a great time he invites a few crew members to join him and that is when one of those strange energy waves hits the ship and causes the computer to short circuit. This traps them in the holodeck where things get too real. The 'new' guy - Mr. Wales? (I never took much notice of his name) gets shot, doesn't die, but somehow manages to survive a point blank shot to the gut for hours.
The reading rainbow guy, Jordi, can't seem to fix the computer. Even though he is the chief of engineering he just can't figure this out. The writers fall back on an old line, sending Wesley Crusher to help out. Luckily he finds the problem and everyone comes out safely. This time Wesley was sporting a flattering grey jumpsuit with a half rainbow stripe thing across his shoulder - nice pic wardrobe.
