Not. At. All.
Say whatever you will about this episode, at least they caught the spirit of a poorly-written novel. 
Yup. No arguement there.
Shoots him in the back. Oh you really hate this guy.
Oh brother!
Okay 8 and 1/2 minutes left. Maybe I’ll find one redeeming thing about this episode.
Any bets?
“And Mickey D just walked out the door. How did he do that?”
Awww, come on Riker! He’s part of the scenario. You’re from the outside. UGH! Lead him along by his beard.
I bet 1000 quatloos on not finding anything.
WWJTK do? Leave Riker behind on this planet and get Commander Shelby as his new First Officer.
Thank you, Mr. Spiner.
Oh please save me with same “Gamesters of Triskeleon”!! That was a decent episode, with Kirk’s energy keepin’ it movin’.
This is the fun part of the episode, but I’m not having fun.
“When the train comes in, everybody rides.”
Um…yeah.
The first time I saw that was on regular TV, so she had weird cloudy bits covering her. I found it odd.
Yeah, completely no idea what that was supposed to accomplish.
I’ll take that bet. I’ll tell you when we get there. 
Riker “We need some spreading around money, IYKWIM”
And here’s the redeeming moment of this episode:
Its ending.
Tex, oh, Tex. You’re sadly mistaken. These guys ain’t got style.
Ha!! I win !! Sorta
If you wanted to know what happened to Dave Bowman. He was taken to the Hotel Royale.
Yaauuuup. I stand by my previous opinion. Worst TNG episode, and I’ll venture to say even worst than the worst TNG episode (The Empath).
Well, at least it’s all uphill from here, bruthas.
WWJTKD?
He’d take out his phaser, set it to disintegrate and blast down the 4th wall.
Then he’d dive roll himself the frak out of this sucky episode.
