The Russell Macklemore Experience #11

22:11-23:25=74


Datalore is today's Season One Episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and I am thinking that this is the one, or one of the few that I expect to not like after liking all the others and disregarding the idea that I wouldn't like many of the first season's episodes because I've liked them all to this point.

But the title gives it away as it introduces us to Data's evil brother Lore, who I never cared for.

Later, in a briefing as they are busy re-assembling Lore, Picard did not like how Data accurately said he fucntions better than humans in some ways.

Jean-Luc, it is true, so why the reaction?

Bad form captain.

Lore tried to keep his knowledge under wraps but was tricked and they are already planting the seeds of his villainy.

Damn Lore, you took out your own brother. What a scoundrel you are.

But they were already revealing that earlier.

Clever Wesley, he knows that Lore is masquerading as Data and made a startling recommendation that Data not be permitted his normal use of the ship.

That's a ballsy move by the acting ensign.
But it was the right one as was proven out by the actions of Lore.

And the unenthused fans of Wesley got the satisfaction of Picard telling Wesley to shut up.  

Poor Lore, not. he got his butt beamed out into space for his plan to have the crew's life energies given over to the Crystal Entity.

Okay, it turns out I liked  this episode after all. I just wasn't moved to write much about it.

That's on me, not the goodness of the episode.

Live Long And Prosper.
