This episode was... sound. I did find it slightly unbelievable that the boss and creator of a multi-million dollar business would allow himself to be so poorly treated (especially to the point where he allows the receptionist to walk all over him and play on her phone while on duty, or to the point where he obviously allows one of his staff members to humiliate and bully him). I think that for someone who was able to display such confidence in the simulation world, he would have at least been able to project some of this confidence to others. What would have been nice would have been if we could have seen how using the simulation had impacted on the captain over time (perhaps building his confidence to fire those who mistreat him at work in the real world). However, if you are willing to overlook some of the poor character building and behavioural floors then it is possible to enjoy this episode. Also, the ending is bad. No other way to put it.
