[TNG] Inheritance

[TNG] Season 7, Episode 10: Inheritance

Rating: 2

This episode is kinda fun? The “Data has a mom” premise is a lot less interesting than the “Soong made an android after Data that is everything Data wishes he was, except she doesn’t know she is an android” premise. It might be an all-timer if it was focused on the second idea and really dug into that. It doesn’t do a terrible job though.

Notes:

A lady says she’s Data’s mom. Everyone gets a mom this season.
Brutal incredulity from Data.
She tells Geordi about how Data used to run around naked. thanks mom
Data tells her about how she had a granddaughter for a few minutes.
Somehow they find themselves in a situation where they have to jump off a cliff. Data says she’ll be fine.
hmm that’s weird.
They find a chip in her brain with a holodeck program.
Dad says not to tell his mother she is a robot because being a robot sucks lol
So his mother wakes up and Data says she’s definitely not a robot.
