Stardate: Unknown Nog takes medical leave in the holosuite program of a 1962 Earth Las Vegas lounge after he lost his leg during a previous battle. Although his new leg is fully functional, he still uses a walking stick, a purely psychological situation, which one of the holo-characters, Vic Fontane, tries to help him overcome.

Just doesn't w**k for me this one. Nog tends to be a great character in the quirky eps but just doesn't w**k well when he's the main/only focus.

It's interesting to see that DS9 has grown to the level that a non-main cast member can have his own story; it's just a shame we get another sodding episode with Vic Fontaine.

It's odd that people accuse Voyager of having far too much emphasis on the holodeck, but I don't see any complaints about DS9 over using Fontaine: of the 32 episodes between 'His Way' and 'What You Leave Behind' (23 if you remove the 9-part series finale arc), you've got 3 episodes which are solely focussed on him, and several more where we get a 5+ minute interlude where we have to endure him singing.

Still, it's nice to see that they actually make a point that although Nog is back on duty, things won't always be perfect; it's just a shame they couldn't have found a better vehicle to show it.
