*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
ST:TNG:99 - "In Theory" (Stardate: 44932.3) - this is the 25th episode of the 4th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Can an android feel romantic entanglements? After receiving a passionate kiss from Ensign Jenna Anaya, Data ponders dating her.
At the same time, this episode also brings the theory of dark matter to the forefront, as it's used to explain the disappearances of objects around the ship and then a section of the ship's floor! An intriguing episode about whether beings with artificial intelligence can feel emotions (such as love).
Trivia note: Data is in another live concert (playing the oboe), as well as Keiko O'Brien. We see Data's cat Spot again (this time finally mentioned by name), as well as Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan. Also. transparent aluminum is mentioned for the makeup of the windows. And, Data FINALLY dresses up his "spartan" apartment at the advice of Jenna.
