S1: Episode 15: Dr. Crusher Opens a Phishing Email and Crashes A Whole Planet, Riker Plays the "Bone"

Well well well, this is exactly why Starfleet needs to update their IT staff and not make them as disposable as Singh, because then episodes like this wouldn't happen. The Enterprise stops by a space base for some R & R and software updates to make the holodeck a little bit less murdery only for it to go awry when the software starts acting crazy!

Picard third wheels a holodate with Riker, I assume Crusher opened spam to print out a fake MD or DVM Diploma which is why the software probably needed updating in the first place (note: this is Amara's take, not actually in the episode, as is Crusher's project on cybernetics and regeneration). 

Data paints super well, Riker is a negging jackwagon to him and Levar for no reason, and no one can explain why everyone in space wears onesies. How are they practical? I just don't get it. Also, for people working on a starship, the staff really suck at evacuating. Like did they not go over how to walk on bridges connected to space stations from the spacecraft you are evacuating from at Starfleet? Someone really needs to do an audit of that place.

Featuring: Casual disregard for safety by using the holodeck again! Riker falls for AI! Riker boning (get your mind out of the gutter it's not that)! Parcheesey Squares! Casual walking with only five minutes until your ship blows up! Ferengis in disguise? Why you should always backup your planet's data!
