When a 911 call leads us to another Classic Star Trek grumpy hermit scientist, Data's body is used without his consent to save the life of another. But when Star Trek takes the position that "no being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another," we get mad on Adriana Smith's behalf all over again.

With nothing better to do while waiting for a meetup, Data and Geordi fuck off in the holodeck to kill some time. But when Dirty Doctor Pulaski pushes Geordi to do the "create a holodeck nemesis to outsmart Data" TikTok Challenge, shit goes sideways. Does Pulaski EVER apologize? How long can you store a hologram on a floppy disk? Why don't the people running NuTrek™ see that filler bottle episodes like this give us time to breathe and develop characters and their relationships and stop trying to save the whole ass universe every episode?
