The royale and farscape

The Royale and Far Scape episodes were really somewhat alike in different perspectives.
They both had the same idea, as with the same problem and same solution just not likewise but very connected. The Star Trek episode "the Royale" is about the commander send three of his companions to planet earth and to be more specific they were sent to a random casino in the United States. I believed episode mention Nevada but I'm not really sure. So, they are sent there to examine the human life as it is but when it comes to gambling or just that particular moment that they were visiting. The 3 companions experienced a murder but they didn't know what was going on. They had fun gambling without really noticing what they were doing, they believed in order to get out of the casino they had to buy their way out because for some strange reason the revolving doors leading outside lead back in. At the end they got the idea that the human race are very greedy when it comes to betting and are very sneaky to the players because one of the companions notice the dice weren't equally shaped and that affected a lot on a roll and money. They met the Jealousy term and also the happy term among the people inside the casino. They thought they were weird (the people and their characteristics). They left after they bankrupt the casino and bought it.
In the Farscape episode John O' Conner is in a ship that save his life during a bad trip from earth. He is an Australian Astronaut. His friends and him discover a wormhole and see earth on the other side. O' Conner took his only chance to return home and was taken in by the Humans. It was a very confusing procedure but at the end of the show O' Conner is tricked that he was in earth but really he wasn't far from where he was before and everything was just projected from his memory. He had strong feelings about his fellow friends when he supposedly discovers they were killed (but they were fine)but his feelings were beyond the standards that the other aliens posing as humans were expecting to get. So the point of this episode of FARSCAPE is to see how the human will react to a mind projection involving his friends at risk that are not of the same specie.
The comparison of the two episodes are that each race wants to see a different perspective of the different race and see their surroundings and how they are affected by life itself.
