Worf and Alexander spend a bit of quality time together in a Western themed holodeck program.
This is a reasonably good episode if you do not take it too seriously and fancy a bit of lighthearted fun.
It is a standard holodeck malfunction story with Worf, Alexander, and Counsellor Troi stuck in a simulation that naturally gives them a threat to deal with and no safety parameters. There is nothing particularly original other than the way it incorporates Data's memory circuits into the technobabble.
There are plenty of character moments to enjoy. Worf being placed a number of fish-out-of-water situations as the Klingon sheriff of Deadwood is a funny concept and Michael Dorn is perfectly deadpan in all scenes. Brent Spiner and Marina Sirtis look to be having a ball in their roles too. I particularly enjoyed the scenes where the real Data starts using Western clichés when talking to members of the Enterprise crew.
The sets, costuming, props, and general Western movie art direction is all spot on.
For me it's a 6.5/10 but I round upwards.
