In terms of character development, plot, political commentary, and costumery, Star Trek: TNG is almost certainly inferior to both DS9 or Voyager. And yet… and yet. You really have to appreciate how often the characters decide that dressing up as detectives and LARPing on the Holodeck is the best way to solve their problems.

There is literally No Reason why Holodeck characters should be programmed to notice when users are wearing Starfleet uniforms. Aliens and androids use the holodeck and it’s fine, the computer accounts for that and it’s rarely even remarked upon, but god forbid anyone neglect to cosplay. The holodeck will call you out and every character will mock you mercilessly for your dumb clothes.
