Star Trek TNG: S1 – Datalore

Recap:

Data’s unstable twin brother has daddy issues, wants to kill everyone.

“Oh Data, you’re so murderable. I mean, adorable.”

Memory Hole:

Everyone on the ship is way too trusting. An evil version of the smartest and most powerful crew member is onboard? Let’s have Wesley follow him around to ensure he stays out of trouble.

Android foreplay.

The Quote:

The Westworld theme song just popped into my head.

When we’re in the laboratory down on the planet.

“Stop looking at my other ass Geordi.”

Fiancé’s Favorite Moment:

The crew asking, in front of Data, if his twin has “all the same parts”. Subtle guys.

Fiancé’s Verdict:

Why is Picard so caring about everyone but Wesley?

Star Trek TNG: S1 – Hide & Q

{Yes, we weren’t supposed to watch this one, but the fiancé saw it was a Q episode and demanded it be included.}

Recap:

Q shows up to fuck with the crew, look fabulous in more costumes, and have a Shakespeare-off with Picard.

Memory Hole:

Our first real visit to Styrofoam Planet 1. It’s pretty bad.

Clouds cost extra.

The Quote:

A marshall of France? Ridiculous.

Picard is jealous of the high collar look though. Really goes with the shape of his head.

Fiancé’s Favorite Moment:

Q’s crazy punishment for losing yet another bet with Picard. This is why Picard isn’t invited to poker nights.

The power of Christ compels him?

Fiancé’s Verdict:

Fun because she likes Q. Although this one was extra silly. The Q episodes are self gratifying to the human species, pumping up our uniqueness in the absence of absolute power.
