Not a bad plot, not the best episode. Data, Worf and Riker beam down to a planet and end up in a hotel from the 1900's. The also find a small NASA ship drifting in orbit. How is this possible? The explanation is some what cool. There was this Astronaut that got lost in space, he was captured by these aliens and they felt bad for him so they recreated Earth for him. Sadly for him they based it on the only resource they had available ... a poorly written novel about a casino. This place ended up being his hell until he eventually died of old age. On the other hand, Data has one heck of a time gambling. But really, an astronaut goes into space, i'm assuming he is able to bring only a small amount of items ... so he brings a shitty pulp fiction novel?

This is one of those episodes that you can't really defend because it's so dumb, but you can't really complain about either because it's pretty fun.
i kinda liked this episode. It sorta reminds me of Twilight Zone.
but ya...why would the guy have one crummy book...instead of some kind of electronic book WITH EVERY SINGLE THING EVER WRITTEN on it. I get that this was an old show but in TNG they rarely used books unless it was someone who actively collected old stuff.
Too bad he didn't bring an issue of Hustler along or something.
