Such a fun tale. Brent Spiner does a fantastic job inhabiting multiple Holo-Data personas.
It's a stark and pleasing difference to Spiner's insanely BAD turn in MASKS - one of the most disturbing episodic TNG fails. I included it in my most hated TNG eps video. Story/script is, of course, at fault, but Spiner's acting and amateurish voice work is embarrassingly abominable. 😳 Truly 'nightmare' and day compared to the bouncy frolic found here.
So fun to learn how much Stewart and Braga became Western fans because of this one.
Thanks Will! Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Masks again... like many fans, I dislike this episode. But the great thing about WAMTNG for me is seeing some of these oh-so-familiar episodes through entirely fresh eyes. It's been a great adventure - thanks for joining me for it!
Without hesitation or exaggeration, WAMTNG motivated me to go back to watching TNG again. Yes, I always do anyway - lol - but your Substack puts me into Warp! Masks is the ONLY time I truly HATED Spiner's acting - lol - so, it's a very 'special' one just for that! 😂

Great work as always, Chris!
