This is among my favorite episodes of season 1. It isn't a remarkably story in itself but, while we have already seen the holodeck before, it was the first real holodeck episode. Some things regarding the holodeck invironment would by changed later f.e. an exit should apear anywhere. So Picard sending Data to look for the other exit makes little sense. But again at the time that was not established yet.
The costumes looked great (they won an Emmy I think), especially Beverly who really looks stunning here (yeah, I am a fan of hers). And we learn something about Picard which gives a little more depth to the character.
Couple of things I noticed (interestingly I still find something I missed before). Beverly looked really annoyed when Picard asked her to join him on the holodeck when he also invited Whalen. I guess she was hoping for some alone time?
And I think we have another case of writing convinience that Beverly can enter the holodeck, also with slight difficulties, while LaForge just minutes later can't.
