Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWide shots of Data and Dr. Crusher tap dancing featured a dancer double for Data, only. Gates McFadden is an accomplished tap dancer, and did all her own work.
- GoofsWhile officiating at a wedding ceremony, Captain Picard says, "Since the days of the first wooden vessels, all shipmasters have had one happy privilege: that of uniting two people in the bonds of matrimony." This is false; whatever Starfleet's own fictional regulations may be, the captains of seagoing ships have no particular power to perform weddings and, at least for the US, the UK, and the former USSR, there is no evidence that they ever did. In fact the navies of the US, the UK, and various other countries specifically prohibit a commanding officer from performing marriage ceremonies. See also Balance of Terror (1966).

Hard not to like a Data episode
No intense moral conundrums or highly involved technobabble in this one, but it's a good star trek episode nonetheless. Maybe I just have a soft spot for fish-out-of-water type characters, but seeing Data's reactions to human situations is always fun. B plot makes sense and holds your attention well enough. Any character development Data experiences is somewhat minor, but that seems to be his mo for a lot of the series, and it's reasonable. There are a couple contrivances (Data is a close friend of some woman, and she needs specifically HIS help to tell her fiancée to cancel the wedding?) but if you can turn up your suspension of disbelief meter a bit, it's one of the more entertaining episodes.
