Trivia
At the time this episode was made, Star Trek: Insurrection hit cinemas. 'Michael Dorn' (Worf) had to appear in it, which explains his sole appearance in the first scene, and why he's not in the next episode, Prodigal Daughter. See more »Goofs
When the senior staff are discussing Nog's decision to move into the holosuite (about 16 minutes into the episode), Ezri Dax's rank pips are reversed in the first half of the scene (the dark pip is in front), but move to the correct position (the dark pip in the back) later in the scene.

When I saw that this was going to be another holosuite based episode I was expecting it to be fairly weak as there have been rather too many episodes set there in the various stat Trek series, thankfully this time there were no malfunctions or unexpected dangers just a good character driven episode where the self aware holographic singer Vic Fontaine helps Nog come to terms with the loss of his leg.
Having returned from hospital Nog can't come to terms with the loss of his leg and even though the doctors say his new artificial leg is working perfectly he complains that it hurts and insists on walking with a stick. He gets counselling from Ezri but nothing she suggests seems to help; he just lies in his room listening to one of Vic Fontaine's songs. Eventually his neighbour Jake Sisko tells him to turn it off and if he needs to hear it he can go to the holosuite. Nog takes this suggestion literally and goes to the holosuite and after hearing Vic sing many versions of the song asks if he can stay with him. The longer he stays there the less he needs his cane but he also gets to the point where he doesn't wish to leave.
Surprisingly this was a good episode and James Darren was great as the occasional character Vic Fontaine the 1960s crooner. Aron Eisenberg was also good as Nog, it couldn't have been easy acting under all that Ferengi make-up.
