Jack's Review
Once more, terrific acting by Robert Picardo. The deconstruction of the family from idyllic to insane is very well done and watching the doctor try to deal with it is a lot of fun. The emotional pieces fit well with the doctor's character and his inability to save his holo-daughter's life is incredibly touching.

While I experienced some emotions as Kes decided to leave the ship - but I feel that overall there was something missing. Overall not bad - but still...

Jack's Review
There is some great back and forth friendly banter between Harry and Tom in this one. Overall, I think the story feels forced - but the ambiance on the Demon-class planet is fantastic. Oh, and the director is "Potsie" from "Happy Days"!

What a terrific mind-bending episode. The ending is actually pretty sad too. Totally well written and acted.
