Trivia

Goofs
When Geordi is strapped down to the lab table and Data is imitating Picard's voice, watch Geordi's left hand closely. Although he is supposed to be tightly restrained by a seat-belt type strap running across his arms and chest, he briefly slips his left hand easily out from under the restraint when struggling, although actor LeVar Burton quickly realizes the mistake and slips his hand back underneath the belt.

Quotes
[last lines]
Lt. Commander Data: [of the ill-fated emotion-chip] I am pleased to say it was damaged when I was forced to fire on Lore.
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Pleased? Data, you've wanted emotions your whole life.
Lt. Commander Data: Yes. But emotions were responsible for what I did to you. I would never risk letting that happen again. My friendship with you is too important to me.
[Data is about to destroy the chip; La Forge intervenes]
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Data, I wouldn't be very much of a friend if I let you give up on a lifelong dream, now would I? Maybe someday... when you're ready.

This episode is great even in 2021

-I never saw this episode since the begining of the century ,but all i can say about it is how great this episode is ,compared with any episode made since the end of Star Trek Voyager and Enterprise and if you want to see the epilogue of this episode you should watch the TNG movies and the first season of Star Trek Picard which is a pretty decent show and probably the last real Star Trek live show.
