Beyond that, I didn't recall the plot of this b4 watching. Data taking over the ship was cool, I kind of wish that was the plot for the whole ep.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 77 - Brothers - 8 Oct 1990 2/2 Lore isn't seen until the last third. Given this was supposed to be about Spiner & his 3x performance, it wasn't the main focus. I liked the idea here, but I thought the balance was off, would have preferred more focus on one story.
