Thine Own Self - s7e16

About this episode

The episode explores Data's journey of self-discovery while marooned and amnesiac, alongside humorous interactions among the hosts.

Data as Frankenstein's Monster in renaissance Italy planet world and Counselor Troi becoming a Commander. This episode has everything: stew, Ronnie James Edwards, hot metal, and that guy! You know, from that thing! You know him! He was in that show, remember? Anyway, Data's marooned and amnesia-ed but bonds with a father and daughter before relearning science right before our very eyes. Riker gives his Imzadi some tough love, but she figures out all she has to do is kill Geordi. Picard says one line. That's it. Not much to this one, but our cultural bridge officers make each other laugh quite a bit. And that's all that really matters.
