"Shut up Wesley"--one of the better lines you'll hear in this particular episode.
One of the best episodes of the original Star Trek series was "Mirror, Mirror" in which an alternate evil version of the Enterprise exists in a parallel world. Here, the new series finds a duplicate version of Data and when they assemble it, they slow come to realize that although he looks like Data, he's rather evil. In the meantime, they slowly learn that there are some other differences--as Lore is emotional, tricky and speaks with contractions. The whole evil and enemy of mankind part only comes out later. Will it be too late? Tune in and see.
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" actually made several Lore episodes and this is just the first. All of them were awfully good--mostly because it was nice to see a jerk version of Data! Normally Data was so nice and cute- -but Lore is just a nasty butt-head! A welcome bit of comedy and something that make him a very enjoyable recurring character--mostly because evil is much more interesting than nice. And, considering he tries killing all the crew, that is a pretty definite indication of not-niceness!!
Aside from the crew being a bit dumb during parts of the episode, this is an excellent show. Violent, conniving and all done with a smile on his face-- that's why we all love Lore!
