"Riker is accused of murder, and the holodeck is used to reconstruct the events from different perspectives. "
I thought this episode was going to suck. It's just such a typical plot. But you know ... it was good. Riker was accused of murdering this woman's husband after being caught in a compromising situation with her ... also he's accused of rape??? The ending is pretty obvious, he gets off ... then after that he gets acquitted. Get it??!?! Whatever. This episode has the lovely Gina Hecht in it, she was in two of my favorite movies, "Night Shift" and "St. Elmos' Fire". They should have an episode in which Riker and Picard open a whore house in a morgue.

I like this episode. It's clever and a lot of fun, even if it is a rip-off of Roshomon.
Oh... and Riker totally did it.
Every time the crew visits some planet somebody gets murdered or raped or sentenced to death or some shit. What's with these people?
its like Murder She wrote. Every where she went for a vacation someone got murdered
That is funny. At some point wouldn't she become a fuckin' suspect?
that should have been the last episode. The cops find out that Murder She Wrote was the killer the whole time and they have a massive shoot out on top of a burning skyscraper
It turns out the murderer was her typewriter.
Everytime it flew out the window ... it murdered someone!
It's funny...I never thought about that before. It's the same for every detective. Poirot attends some dinner party, and somebody is murdered. Monk goes on vacation and somebody at his hotel is murdered. Etc. Imagine how friggin' depressing your life would be if you couldn't go anywhere without somebody getting murdered? I'd kill myself.
Maybe it wasn't like that with Sherlock Holmes, come to think of it. It seems like every story involved somebody coming to his flat to ask for his help. He's never just hanging around when somebody is killed.
