The Outrageous Okona - s2e4

This Okona is OUTRAGEOUS! The eponymous captain is introduced ass-first and there isn't a more perfect metaphor for this episode. The main plot is cute, and it's cool to see an actor who might have played Riker charm the main cast - and several ladies aboard the Enterprise. But the B Plot of Data trying to find comedy is stretched thin when the holodeck selects Joe Piscopo as the end-all be-all of stand-up comedy to teach him. Especially when Whoopi Goldberg was right there! Jimmie G. hosts this episode and brings his buddy Zoltan Szabadi on board to talk Trek, Kate doesn't remember Joe Piscopo fondly, Erik waxes poetic about Teri Hatcher and William O. Campbell, and Greg is still amazed Okona never breaks his word.
