| Craps. Data summarises the rules if you're unfamiliar. | Maybe they should have just found the poker table. | A bit of The Charybdis. Fuck knows what that card did. | Revolving Door! This was a nice shiny foil too, if memory serves. |

Overview: Riker, Worf, and Data investigate a structure on an icy gas giant. Inside, they find a casino reconstructed from a bad Earth novel.
Writer: Keith Mills
Director: Cliff Bole
Anon2: Part B.
Anon: Oh yeah, Part B of The Royale. I forgot there was a Part A.
Anon2: No no, Part A was us doing the first half of this commentary during the previous episode. We pre-empted it.
Anon: Well, you did. I couldn't be arsed.
Anon2: Right, I wrote down the card-count, which was 4 each. Quite a rich episode.
Anon: Yeah, there was Mickey D., Revolving Door - which I used to use all the time, but I've no idea what it did anymore.
(I now believe it was used to block a doorway.)
Anon2: Dead in Bed as well.
Anon: Yeah, Dead in Bed.
Anon2: I'm sure that was an Interrupt.
Anon: Yep, an AU interrupt. Oh, it said in the credits at the beginning, "Special Appearance by Noble Willingham."
Anon2: Who? Who is he?
Anon: I've no idea. No one knows. He was probably in Dallas or something.
(As it turns out, my guess was correct.)
Anon2: Anyway, not a bad episode; not especially amazing either. Erm, shit happened, I can't remember. We've only just switched it off, but I've already forgot.
Anon: You can't trust the French.
Anon2: No! Fucking white flag-waving surrender monkeys.
Anon: Picard used a great line in this, "Is penetration possible?"
Anon2: (laughs) I hope so!
Anon: I certainly hope so. There was also a weird bit where Data said it was unwise to...
Anon2: Anger a Morn?
Anon: No! (laughs) He said it was unwise when playing Blackjack to hit with a 13 against a picture card.
Anon2: He's wrong. Surely you have to do it.
Anon: Yeah, you have to hit on a 13 against a 10, mathematically.
Anon2: And he's supposed to be a walking calculator.
Anon: I beg to differ.
Anon2: Doesn't work, does it?
Anon: So, the next episode is Time Squared.
Anon2: Okay, what's that like? Are there are Ferengi in it?
Anon: Are we doing this again? No, there aren't.
Anon2: Are the Borg in it?
Anon: Nope.
Anon2: Is there a Romulan warbird in it?
Anon: Maybe.
Anon2: Is Morn in it? How about a Smurf?
Anon: Unlikely. We'll be seeing you soon.
