In "Captain's Holiday" Picard takes a week's long shore leave on Risa on the advice if his crew. But he doesn't get too much R&R when he runs into a beautiful archeologist and a Ferengi both vying to find the location of a mythical weapon rumored to be from the future that has the capability to halt a star's nuclear energy. Two time traveling aliens going back in time to find Picard since the legend says HE'S the one to find it only complicates things further.
This episode is basically solely devoted to Picard. I feel like he's almost been underserved up to this point so something like this had to be coming. This one gave me real Indiana Jones vibes. Picard's love for archeology is at center stage here as he's off adventuring with his foil/love interest. The two actually make a fairly good pairing.
There's enough holes in this plot to drive a truck through but the episode is still exciting, all things considered. We get a few cool new sets. All the scenes in the Enterprise of them trying to convince him to go I found fairly annoying but it gets a lot better when he gets to Risa. Not a classic but it introduces Cash to us and goes along at a fairly quick clip.
