Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeordi La Forge appears only for a very brief scene, which is actually stock footage. Prior to the filming of The Best of Both Worlds: Part 2 (1990), LeVar Burton had had surgery and couldn't make an appearance.
- GoofsData clearly checks his cards when playing the card game. As an android, he would not need to check what cards he has; they would be committed to memory. He could, of course, be 'mimicking' human behavior. In reality, he was checking so that viewers at home could see his hand.
The "mimicking" statement is accurate. Data has often indicated his desire to be "more human" as is exemplified by the conversation when Wesley's face is covered with a banana split.
- Quotes
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Ever since I was a child, I've always known exactly what I wanted to do: be a member of Starfleet. Nothing else mattered to me. Virtually my entire youth was spent in the pursuit of that goal. In fact... I probably skipped my childhood altogether.

Featured review
A Battle we too often see
A strong episode about a battle we too often see played out in the media today.
A child adopted at a young age, and raised with a good family, is suddenly taken away from the only home they have ever known, simply because his biological family now asserts a claim on them.
Regardless who the winner is in these situations, the only victim in any such battle is going to the child. Instead of possibility of growing up with two family's, they will now have to give up one of them.
How often we lose that which should have been our main focus all along. The best for the child and what they want.
