Damn, this actor Saul Rubinek is just so freakin' over the top in this episode. His wacky, manic, over acting style would fit so perfectly in a TOS episode. It was nice to see this kind of character for a change.
Basically in this one, there is this traveler named Fajo and he goes around space collecting rare items. He even has a Roger Maris rookie card, which I guess is rare in the future. Why Maris and not Ruth or Williams .... or the mighty midget Kirby Puckett? So, this Fajo guy decides to collect Data. Then he starts acting verrrryyyy gay. Even suggesting that Data walk around naked. So weird and so entertaining.
Factoid via Wikipedia "David Rappaport, a well-known British dwarf actor, had originally been cast for the part of Kivas Fajo. Rappaport struggled with depression in his life, and committed suicide on 2 May 1990, shortly after having filmed some scenes as Fajo. Saul Rubinek was then asked to take over the role, but some early production photographs show Rappaport in the role."

This is one of my all time favorite episodes. Brent Spiner did such a great job, and the ending is amazing. Fajo is one of the best villains ever. They should've brought this guy back for one of the movies.
"The Wrath of Fajo."
This was a great one, I agree. What a blessing for next gen that David Rappaport killed himself, I magine if he was Fajo instead of this guy!! I heard he hung imself from a lily pad.
