This may be heresy, but here goes: this is a pretty awful episode. Data “gets a girlfriend.” And, also, since the producers were worried to do an episode without any action, the ship is in jeopardy for five minutes, but Picard saves the day during three of those five minutes. It is kinda funny to see Data trying to make sense of human emotion, but all I could think of were cheesy ’50s robots saying “Teach me to… Love.” Not recommended.
