This episode is by far my favorite for many reasons. It opposes the idea of people as property. It establishes Data as more than a quirky idea and firmly grounds him as a character. Also,something that I think is often avoided in discussions of this episode is that it shows Riker has an immense amount of loyalty and respect for Picard. He is willing to literally disassemble his friend in order to carry out his duty (even though it visibly upsets him). Even though a lot of the dialogue is poor (let's be honest here that is 90% of Trek), the overall writing is brilliant.

But the cropping makes it almost unusable.

But the wrapper is the best part. Gives it that chew.

Featuring crew like T'Polenta

Couldn't be helped. The puns must flow. Besides, Lieutenant Woof is a good boy.

I fold. Can't top the supplier of 60% of everything you've ever eaten in a restaurant.

Argh! tried to fix the typo with a repost and failed. Im sorry. Just umm, ignore the last caption?

ThatGuyWithTheGlasses fell harder than any I have seen.

This article is missing some stuff I'd really like to know. How long did this 1,000 km trip take? How often did they have to stop? What was the average range per day? All of the specs that would be great to know are missing here.
