It's a bit anachronistic what happened with the holodeck here. It's quite hard to believe that it took them about 100 hundred years to decide to install holodecks like the ones from this episode on starships again and they haven't fixed any of the problems. Instead there are similar technologies in the animated series and even the holodecks on Enterprise D can't do the same thing until the Binaries enhance them.
Nonetheless it was a solid episode and I'm glad they addressed the creeping trend in SNW for characters to do things on their own instead of relying on their colleagues...
I think this is a little different from what the Bynars did - La'An had to wear the brain scan thingie for the day for the computer to get a sense of her personality, while the enhanced TNG holodeck was able to do it on the fly.
