This one had some great moments, and Brent Spiner is so good, that it still feels odd all these years later, that I first saw him on Night Court, playing Dan Fielding's, who Dan called 'Pa Kettle' from Ma and Pa Kettle! His range is amazing.<br /><br />Great A plot, meh B plot, so good overall, with some great moments, but the overall package wasn't quite as good at what came just before it.Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73351919406264454322016-06-15T10:22:15.587-04:002016-06-15T10:22:15.587-04:00I'll echo what Mallena (and J.D.) said.

I noticed this time through that they limited the amount of split screen: it was mostly shots of each character by himself. Which of course makes sense, or filming this episode would have taken a whole lot longer. <br /><br />It did make me wonder how safe it was to have Data around in the first place when he could so easily take over the ship without breaking a robotic sweat. Of course, he's also saved the day so many times now that it more than averages out.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-9702185610700786502016-06-15T10:16:45.495-04:002016-06-15T10:16:45.495-04:00Brent Spiner was wonderful in this.

The whole episode might not be great, but that scene with Spiner playing every part was mesmerizing.Mallenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368492098724611717noreply@blogger.com
