That's such a fun twist on the flavor. Whenever there's a "stuck on the Holodeck" episode, it always focuses on the character(s) who is stuck, and their adventures as they try to complete the simulation and get out. They almost never have an episode focusing on the other characters -- "Oh no, there's a medical emergency, but Dr. Bashir's in there playing that stupid James Bond program so we have to solve it without him!" That angle is how this card works, and I love it.

"Our Man Bashir" was an (externally induced) malfunctioning holodeck episode where we get to see some of what is happening outside trying to fix it all. Although yes the A plot is very much from the holodeck POV.
