Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeordi La Forge appears only for a very brief scene, which is actually stock footage. Prior to the filming of The Best of Both Worlds: Part 2 (1990), LeVar Burton had had surgery and couldn't make an appearance.
- GoofsData clearly checks his cards when playing the card game. As an android, he would not need to check what cards he has; they would be committed to memory. He could, of course, be 'mimicking' human behavior. In reality, he was checking so that viewers at home could see his hand.
The "mimicking" statement is accurate. Data has often indicated his desire to be "more human" as is exemplified by the conversation when Wesley's face is covered with a banana split.
- Quotes
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Ever since I was a child, I've always known exactly what I wanted to do: be a member of Starfleet. Nothing else mattered to me. Virtually my entire youth was spent in the pursuit of that goal. In fact... I probably skipped my childhood altogether.

Worf.....missed an interesting parallel
Enjoyed watching this episode again.
I was reminded of the missed opportunity I'd pictured when the episode first came out:
Why did they not draw some parallels to Worf's upbringing?
I understand wanting to show Picard trying out parenting skills, but there was a clear opportunity to at LEAST mention and use one scene to reflect a comparison to how Worf would have felt had he been challenged to return to Earth/Earth parents, or to Klingon empire when he was that age.
Still a good episode.
