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.

Featured review
Severely flawed, might have fit in season seven
Flaws:
* Didn't even mention a strong parallel between the kid and Worf, let alone explore it
* Picard, in Kirk mode, gives the kid back. I think just maybe some experts in trauma and psychological abuse should have looked at the situation instead of Picard coming to an epiphany based on the kid immediately before trying to murder him?
* The possibility that Jono just might be experiencing Stockholm Syndrome, or some other psychological damage, is only barely discussed.
* Jono's living relative is his grandmother, an ADMIRAL in Starfleet. Just maybe she would like to have been consulted before Picard gives her grandson back?
* Chad Allen as Jono is given extremely clunky lines to say.
* Jono playing his obnoxious music really loud. Yes, a teen acting as a teen. But several other annoying bits, like Jono acting like a caged animal when they try to remove his gloves, all the kids squealing for some reason.
* Dreadfully contrived dilemma. Why in the world can't the kid have contact with his human relatives?
