| | Datalore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | The episode "Datalore" represents part one of this four-part story which is presented intermittently over the course of six production seasons. |
 | | The writers of the Data-history episodes (such as "Datalore," "Brothers," and "Descent, Parts I & II") don't seem to grok what Spiner has created (nor the audience's reaction to it), and apparently haven't noticed what other Star Trek writers have done to develop this character between Data-history episodes. |
 | | The Picard-Data relationship is also more interesting than the somewhat fake and absurd relationship of Picard and the demi-god "Q" (in other episodes) In Data, we have a true demi-god--a being with the strength of ten men, and the intellect of ten Einsteins, seeking genuine understanding of human beings. |
