SHUT UP, WESLEY! People forget where this eternal line was first uttered, but it's right here, in this oft-forgotten episode from TNG's first season. But "Datalore" does quite a lot of heavy lifting for TNG lore, not just with that line, but also some new "rules" about Data. With Lore -- Data's evil twin -- set to return in Star Trek: Picard - Season Three, Bryan and Kristen take a look at his first appearance and see if that memorable line isn't the only thing worth remembering about this episode and season one in general.If you're enjoying our show, like us, rate us, and review us on whichever platform you listen.

TNG: "Datalore" (s1e13)

There are 967 episodes of Star Trek. Some are good, some are great, and the rest we'll still watch from time to time because, why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad, it's still kinda good. 

It's a Star Trek podcast that seeks to establish the pecking order for its extensive canon. Which episodes are classic examples of Star Trek or simply good (TREK), which are all-timers (MARRY), and which are episodes that are okay to watch just once and then forget about (KILL)? 

Hosts Bryan and Kristen and the occasional special guest ask a series of questions to arrive at a final judgment, questions like, "What part of this story would be taught at Starfleet Academy?" "What's the Best Trek Trope?" "Could the episode have been hornier and would that have made it better?" and many more. It's sort of like playing F***, Marry, Kill, but a lot more fun because it's about Star Trek!
