Customer Reviews of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 67: Captain's Holiday
Captain Picard in "The Maltese Tox Uthat" Remember how the Enterprise crew always talks about vacationing on the wonderful planet Risa? Well we finally get to visit that paradise planet and it turns out our guide is Jean-Luc Picard, coaxed by Counselor Troi to finally get a little rest and relaxation. Of course, as soon as Picard arrives on Risa two Vorgons, who claim to be time travelers from the future, pop up and claim our hero is going to find a very powerful weapon that came from the future. The next thing we know Picard is involved in a search for the Tox Uthat with a mysterious and beautiful woman named Vash.
Given Picard's love of Dixon Hill mysteries on the holodeck, it is interesting that "Captain's Holiday" is very much in the Sam Spade tradition. This is really a Next Generation version of "The Maltese Falcon," and you can find for every character in that classic novel/film as well as following the plot line so closely. The initial twist, where an obviously uncomfortable Picard is essentially forced to go on vacation for his own good, merely sets up the "case." We also get our first introduction to the character of Vash, of whom we shall see more in the future.
like a lite beer
although not the most intriguing episode, i enjoyed it's light hearted nature. it provided an opportunity to see the romantic side of picard (what little his stoic personality was allowed to portray -- at that time). overall i liked the episode and was greatful they finally got him involved with someone. i mean without this episode there may have never been a QPID! and let's face it that one was hysterical! no, if vash had never come into the picture, we may have never known that picard likes his women fiesty, adventurous and down right mischievous.
Weak Trek
When I first popped this tape into the 'ol VCR I thought this might be pretty good. But then I saw the UGLY side of Picard. I would think that Ira Steven Behr (the writer) would know his character, but wrote Picard as an ediot and a big meanie in this episode. I hate to say it, but this was a very weak episode. I love TNG, but everybody has to make an episode at 5:00 on Friday I suppose.
