Caminante Nocturno I also had a card from the card game based on this episode.
citrusmirakel I think this is my favorite episode. It starts out with a sleazy Riker who picks up a virus (the game) from some woman of loose morals, and then works on infecting the whole crew, who really REALLY enjoy the game perhaps a bit too much.
The only bad part is that Hero Wesley is very difficult to accept.
Xenocide I need to watch this episode again now that you've enlightened me to it all being a metaphor for mind-controlling space herpes.
garcet71283 First time I saw this was during my teenage years while I was deep in my Diablo 2 addiction phase.
Herr Matthias I hope so. I'd like to see an episode with the entire Enterprise addicted to playing Custer's Revenge.
Xenocide Custer's Revenge is actually more complex a game than the one they were playing in this episode. The entire game is just "Put a ball in a cup."
Cleaner82 Yeah, sure, lets go to the holodeck instead for some good clean fun that tries to kill us about two thirds of the time.
Camonk Not that every episode of this show wasn't pretty bad, but jesus the Wesley episodes. They're the TNG equivalent of Lisa episodes. I was so glad when Wesley got shipped off to space school or whatever the fuck.
I guess my real question is, despite not liking the show, why did I watch it enough to remember things? Damn. I don't think any of you guys can answer that one.
La Loco We all watched it because if you didn't have cable There Was Nothing Better To Watch!
