I don't get this. Data is an artificial life-form, yet he has a father, a brother, he used to have a daughter and now he has a mother. He's got more relatives than anyone else! This is true! Think about it! He whinges about being alone in the universe, but he's got more family than anybody else on the ship!
Interesting, perhaps, to watch Data and his Mater when they are chatting in Ten-forward. Watch the way they both cross hands and fold them in front of them. Family trait, perhaps?
Why does not Julianna react more when she's told of Soong's death? She was his wife, no?
Data comes over as being rather coy when it comes to the question of sex. This man is ex-Tasha Yar! What's to be coy about?
This show features some very bad miming on violin from Brent, and then later some very good miming. I think he must play some kind of fretted instrument himself, as it's not easy to make your hands do that if you're not used to it.
Why would Ten-Forward be empty when they want to rehearse? The ship works on a rota basis, right, so why would it ever be empty?
I wonder if the writers had Blade Runner in mind when they wrote this episode. Perhaps Data's suspicions could have been confirmed earlier if he'd offered the good Doctor an entrée of boiled dog . . .
It has always been my understanding that if you were on the ship when you were hailed you did not have to tap your comm. badge, but if you were planetside you did. In the caverns, Data's hands stray nowhere near his comm. badge as he answers Riker's increasingly edgy queries. Oh well . . .
Geordi says that the Doctor ages like Data. I beg your pardon? Data doesn't age!
And speaking of the Literal Boy, is this not the dude who cannot tell a lie easily fibbing to, of all people, his own mother? For shame!
Interesting to note that when the planet is fired upon, the ship is still moving around it. Instead of hitting one spot, the phasers would have caused damage across thousands of miles. . . but who's counting?
