- Wil Wheaton has said the he was Ashley Judd’s first on screen kiss.

- At the time this was new, I remember reading that it was supposed to be loosely based off the Red Dwarf episode “Better Than Life“, but I never really saw that.

It cripples their minds because they're so addicted - almost a drug dependence allegory. Wesley visits the Enterprise from the Academy

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 106 - The Game - 28 Oct 1991 2/2 has to save the day - along with Ensign Ashley Judd. When it was new there was talk that it was based off the Red Dwarf Episode "Better than Life", but I never saw that. A weak episode overall, but I enjoyed some of it this time.
