Finally caught up on the third episode. I thought that ep was on a par with the best TNG episodes, honestly. And extra points for not going with the predictable feel-good ending, like a Trek episode probably would have.
It may seem that Bortus's sudden change of heart just from watching Rudolph was a little silly and abrupt... but the rest of the episode also made it clear how much stock the Moclan put in stories.
I love how this show continues to make fun of the holodeck...
