The Enterprise explores Data's home planet, Omicron Theta. They find his brother, and the dark secret he carries.

In this episode, we review the TNG episode 'Datalore' and follow up on a previous discussion about 'Code of Honor’. We talk about the allegations of racism and misogyny in 'Code of Honor' and discuss some people’s reaction on social media. We also share our opinions on blocking and creating echo-chambers. Moving on to 'Datalore,' we critique the episode's writing, plot inconsistencies but praise Brent Spiner's performance as Data and Lore, the production values. We also analyze character development and unanswered questions about Data's origins, concluding howthe episode had potential but ultimately fell short.

In this episode we talk about what seemed like a long goodbye. Adam and myself touch on the themes of existentialism with Ai characters, the breaks in internal logic to get the episode running to the finish line, a white saviour pushing aside the Indian engineers, Riker's simple solution to a holodeck malfunction, Picard's mansplaining and much more.
