lightofdayeA difficult episode to watch. Spoilers under the cut.
I found the main plot of this episode just deeply unpleasant. Vadic running the hostage situation, the crew of the Titan getting massacred, T'Veen's execution it was all just... not fun and sadistic and it's supposed to be but it's just... no, do not want.
As to Data and Lore - I figured out that Data giving up all his memories to Lore was going to turn Lore basically into him. There was a very similar plot line in a webcomic The Order Of The Stick that had time to do it much more detail tbh.
It was fine and decently performed and the full Reunion between Geordi and Data was very good and very needed and then we get the whole crew around the conferance table at the end which of course tugged at the heartstring. It was nice to see albeit with two caveats: they did kind of speechify about each other at lot. And second there's no obvious in-universe reason to exclude Raffi, Seven (or Shaw I guess) just the out of universe reason: Hello TNG Cast.
We finally get rid of Vadic, but still not answer about Jack. This is my big problem. The main overarching mystery plot there is technically moving forward but it just doesn't really feel like it.
Also wasn't the Enterprise-F supposed to be in this show?
