Featured review
Baby needs a new pair of shoes at the Royale
The Enterprise finds some space debris and it's from a NASA mission that left
earth in 2037. The nearby planet is an uninhabitable methane/ammonia gas
giant, but there is an artificially created corridor that has earth like atmosphere.
When Riker, Data, and Worf beam down there's nothing but a revolving door
earth style that they go through.
What they find is an earth type resort hotel set in Nevada with all kinds of gaming operations. Once in the Away team can't get out though after awhile they can communicate with the Enterprise.
They also discover the skeletal remains in one of the hotel rooms of an old astronaut NASA together with a pulp fiction novel the Hotel Royale written by some Mickey Spillane type author. The kindly aliens who found the astronaut created this atmosphere bubble and the hotel based on this novel because this is what they thought earth must be like.
This episode is very similar to the Star Trek prime one where a book about the gangster culture of Chicago was left by an earth traveler and the aliens simply followed it along.
How to leave and I will say the abilities of Data the android come in handy here. Don't get into a crap game with Brent Spiner.
