• SYAR TREK DATA CREATOR ANDROID

Aren't they supposed to be explorers, to have scientific curiousity? Nobody ever asked Data before if they could study his circuits? I don't buy that.

The backstory of Data was not very convincing either, in my eyes. Lore is better with human language and the best example that the writers could come up with were contractions? So Data can remember an incredible vast amount of information but can't - or cannot - handle contractions? Come on. The part before the switch was better, but not great or even good. But it didn't for me because that scene in itself was stupid and unplausible. I guess the scene where Data practised sneazing should lend credibility to that. Oh, but he had such a great excuse for that - he was just practising the nervous tick of Lore. I was expecting that Lore would kidnap Wesley after he had that nervous tick, which by the way was so painfully obviously just there so that Lore would involuntarily give away his identity. It kinda felt as if the screenwriters think that their audience is equally dumb. The behaviour of all of the crew members after that was so incredibly stupid and unplausible that it almost hurt my head. Just not why, so Lore had to tell the unconscious Data (the audience) his plan, which felt terribly conceived. The moment Lore gave Data that glass of champagne it was obvious that he was gonna switch identities. While I agree that Spiner did an excellent job, the rest of this episode is just horrible. I agree on many things in your reviews, but I just don't get why "Datalore" has such a high rating (compared to other episodes). Like this site? Support it by buying Jammer a coffee.

Still, the episode shows more promise (and is more memorable) than many season one tales, with a battle of dialog and wits between Data and Lore, which culminates in a physical fight and Lore being beamed into space. Meanwhile, all the adults look terminally clueless. Quite simply, this is annoying material, continuing in season one's trend of Wesley's child status as a plot device. None of the crew except Boy Wesley realizes that Lore is impersonating Data - and when Wesley (who is always somehow more observant than the silly adults) brings this to their attention, we get helpful lines like, "Shut up, Wesley," which lead to even more helpful lines of would-be teenage rebellion when Wesley complains about the officers not listening to him. What hurts the episode, however, is that no one is smart enough to realize the obvious. Lore's villainy is intriguing right alongside Data's equally intriguing loyalty to Picard and Starfleet.

Brent Spiner memorably creates two distinct individuals within the confines of similar android templates. Lore helped "feed" it the Federation colony all those years ago. He's an intriguing individual - similar to Data but different in many key ways - and the plot's progress gradually reveals Lore's penchant for villainy and his relationship with the crystalline entity, which feeds purely on life. The story even cites Isaac Asimov in its dialog explaining Soong's dream to realize the "positronic brain." When the crew decides to assemble and activate the other android, they discover he is actually Data's "brother," Lore. "Datalore" is particularly worthwhile for the valuable and definitive backstory it offers regarding Data's origins. Noonien Soong was among the colonists and constructed these androids while living there. They also find the living quarters and laboratories of the colony's residents, now all empty - as well as a disassembled android virtually identical to Data, and proof that famed scientist Dr. They find the world to be drained of all life forms. The Enterprise visits Omicron Theta, the colony where Data was found 26 years earlier, and investigates the mystery surrounding the colony's disappearance.
