Data is taken over by a Dr Graves - a trope I'm already tired of. Graves' plan is to transfer his mind into someone else, and given he knew Soong, he sees Data as a prime target for this. Problem is I do pic.twitter.com/QKavE6VjWo

not really care for the "take over Data" thing. Ep was disinteresting to me. I do like W Morgan Shephard, just not here. Dr Selar has her only appearance here, but we do see Suzie Plakson later on. pic.twitter.com/6TJqX9pieZ
