Honestly? This episode was a bit of a miss for me.
Pros
I always like when an actor tries new accents. Sometimes it's a swing and a miss, but I will reward risks.
I liked the production value of the sci fi sets
The Origin of canonical explanation of why the holodeck always worked whenever the power went out in Voyager.
What...ever...that ... Shatneresque....portal of ...the Cap-tain was that Kirk did.
Cons
Hypotheticals never are.
I'm not thrilled by the amount of meta they packed in. We get it. TOS was canceled.
Obvious outlandish twist is obvious.
The holodeck doppelgangers were hard to connect with or remember their quirks.
Spock doesn't need a romantic relationship.
The non sequitur in medias res cold open.
Oh no! If you die in the holodeck, you die in real life. I'd love to see a Groundhogs day style holodeck episode where the characters are functionally immortal.
