This episode of TNG brings us to the home planet where Dr. Sung created the
Android entity Data. Way back when the entire population of the planet was
wiped out and Data was the only one found and turned off as well.
The away team discovers Dr. Sung's laboratory and the makings of another prototype Android and when put together Data finds he has a brother named Lore.
This episode belongs to Brent Spiner who plays both Data and Lore. Lore was given human emotions and he's all too human. Like the Krells, Dr. Sung forgot about the ID. Lore has the brilliance of an exponential Einstein and the humanity of Adolph Hitler. He in fact is the reason the population is no more on his home planet.
When like in The Man In The Iron Mask the identities are switched only for the worst in this case. It is Wil Wheaton who is the first who spots behavioral anomalies, but when he brings it to Patrick Stewart who is dealing with a crisis on the bridge that never to be forgotten phrase of 'shut up Wesley' comes uncharacteristically from a usually unflappable Picard.
In fact it's Wesley Crusher and Data who save the Enterprise. Although in disposing of Lore, all I can say is good thing for him he's an Android because no carbon based life form would have survived to come back for several more episodes over the course of the series run.
