Not much to say about this one, other than it's fun and comes close to being a classic TNG show. The central mystery is really intriguing and Data's behaviour makes you want to know more, but there's no drama or jeopardy making it feel somewhat languid. I didn't enjoy the opening Dixon Hill holodeck scene even with Whoopi Goldberg adding so much character to it.
I did involuntarily laugh when Geordi says "why didn't our beards grow?", and then the camera cuts to Riker with his massive facial hair. Just an odd editing choice.
The concept of "resetting the ship's clock" makes zero sense, because as soon as they encounter another ship or planet the crew would realise that they are missing 2 days! I would also have found it much more satisfying to see exactly how they correct all their mistakes the second time around. A shame, this episode has a lot going for it, but it falls back on the reset button (something which I mercilessly mock Voyager for) almost literally.
