An alien probe starts to alter the ship, and Commander Data, to recreate its old culture.
This felt a lot like a throwback to the style of the original series. The premise is deeply silly, and despite the best attempts of the actors to make it work. While it’s good to have a non-technobabble solution to the problem of the episode, this felt like the ‘anthropology and myth’ version of technobabble.
A lot rests on Brent Spiner playing multiple characters, but they all seem so broad and overplayed that it just comes across as a silly voices exercise. I know that was kind of the point, but it still undermines the result.
313 down, 424 to go.

Given the usual state of my home office, this doesn’t actually make me more likely to buy one…
