- Deanna Troi is promoted from lieutenant commander to just commander.
- The events of the episode “Disaster” are referenced here.
- Worf and Geordi only appear in this episode as holograms.

One is "Data as Frankenstein's Monster", and the other shows Troi going through testing to get a command promotion. In some ways the Data part of this plays out like "The Inner Light" w/Picard.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 168 - Thine Own Self - 14 Feb 1994 2/2 The Data part has him befriend a young girl, we've seen that story before. The Troi stuff was more interesting to me, but they spent more time with the Data story. This wasn't bad, it just feels like we've done this before.
