Take Me out to the Holosuite

I know many people trash Take Me Out To The Holosuite but it was a nice break from the Dominion War. The only downside was Rom. They could have made him the best player instead of him being the comic relief. Max Grodenchik was the best baseball player of the cast but the producers and writers made him left handed so he would be horrible. I would have loved if they allowed Rom to shine.

I love this episode, in the midst of a war they have a little break. This episode reminds us to not take things too seriously. Word's line " find him and kill him" makes laugh even after watching the episode a dozen times!

It's more about crew camaraderie than anything else...

Odo was the perfect Umpire.

I've seen the Padres play worse...

Vulcans vs The Emmissary. Ha! Note that the Niners have Mets style uniforms. Didn't distract the Vulcans though. Neither did Worf's tauntings. Ezri had some fancy dans though.

And then suddenly Miles is in charge.

Sometimes it takes a guy like Rom to remind us what the game is really about.

What had be giggling were the Ferengi oversized baseball caps.

You never know what's gonna happen!

Try explaining the game to the Wormhole Al... Er, I mean The Prophets.

Aggressive... Adversarial!

An episode of almost pure frivolity, as filler eps go this one is one of the best, and certainly the most fun. Yes it's mostly very silly, but it knows that it's silly and doesn't really care. You don't have to know about baseball, but I will admit that it helps. There is one truly heartfelt moment near the end concerning Rom, and to hear Worf (kinda) yell "Death to the opposition!" makes the entire episode worth watching. A must for those who get the lighter side of Trek.

This episode is completely intended as a comedy, and it absolutely works. It's cheesy, yeah, but it's a whole lot of fun. Worf is comic gold here, too; once you watch it, you'll see what I mean.
