About this episode
The episode explores Data's childhood and the complexities of his family dynamics.
It's a Data family episode. So many Sunghs to go around, but this time we re:engage with Data's childhood by way of that awkward naked toddler stage. But is this woman from the past telling the truth? Or is she fully functional in her grifter pseudo-science? We'll never know. Until we do. In the best doubling Brent Spiner can achieve. Again. Before. The first time. I'm confused. Don't watch Picard s2!!! Please send us any thoughts on the series to LetsReEngage@gmail.com or on Bluesky, Greg's social media of choice.
