The sons of Soong have joined together
2 August 2017 | by – See all my reviews

Picks up rather nicely from the cliffhanger with everyone separated, Beverly at the conn and Data corrupted by a sociopathic brother. But Lore was easily my least favorite aspect. This episode got much more mileage out of Beverly onboard the fleeing Enterprise, skeleton crew and hiding from the Borg ship (in the Sun!). These scenes had all of the story's energy and tension.
