“Booby Trap”
“Booby Trap” After investigating an intact 10,000 year old Promellian battlecruiser the Enterprise is stuck in a field of energy absorbers. Every attempt to activate the propulsion systems results in more energy being drained. On the holodeck Geordi creates the construction site of the Enterprise engines, and together with a holographic representation of the engineer Leah Brahms - to whom he is drawn quite a bit - he finds a method to escape by giving the computer complete control of the ship. Picard, however, decides to steer the ship manually after overcoming inertia with minimum thrust. summary by Ex-Astris-Scientia
Another one of my absolute favourites. This time because of the possibility to compare a holodeck simulation with a real person. Geordi was a pitiful jerk here but he learned his lesson, I guess. The lady wasn’t that interesting either. However, what little the episode lacked in characters for me, it certainly made up for with the effects. I still go back to this episode to watch all this equipment.
