Yet another great Brent Spiner performance. (By the way, that last episode "Family" is the only TNG episode that does not contain Data). The episode starts off with two young brothers, the older one plays a trick on the other and nearly kills him. As Data is bringing the elder brother back to his quarters ... Data stars acting very strange. Next thing you know, Data hijacks the Enterprise. This entire sequence is just awesome as Data trumps every possible move to thwart his take-over.
I totally forgot about this one, so I was wondering the entire time ... what the hell is Data up to! He ends up beaming down to a planet were he is greeted by his father, Noonien Soong. He has been called home in order to get an "emotional chip" installed. Unfortunately Lore shows up and ruins everything.
Here's the thing with Data. He doesn't need an emotional chip. In fact, he already seems to have emotions. Sure he can't love and cry but is he not the most compassionate crew member?? He seems to care more about other people than most humans would.

Of course data can't cry , he's a male robot isn't he??
Any episode where Brent Spiner plays multiple roles is an automatic classic. That guy's just the best actor ever.
But seriously... why does Star Trek old man makeup always look like shit? Or is Dr Soong supposed to look like a goodluck troll doll some kid stuck in the microwave?
Haha, you are so correct ... that makeup was fucking horrid
