episode #13: Datalore
DATALORE - episode #13, first season / Air Date: 1/18/88
written by Robert Lewin, Gene Roddenberry; Directed by Rob Bowman
Here was the first show-up of Lore (also played by Brent Spiner), the android built just before Data and physically identical to him (except for a facial twitch - I never did get this). Because the Enterprise is in the vicinity of Omicron Theta, Picard decides to visit the planet where Data was built/born. The scientific colony which used to be there is gone and the planet has been devastated (by what we would later learn is called The Crystalline Entity, a massive lifeform that flits through outer space). Inside the deserted underground base, the landing party finds the parts which make up Lore; of course, they decide to bring the parts back up to the ship and construct the android - with Data anxious to find out if he has a brother (anxious? - an emotion?).
