Worf is... weird when reuniting with Troi.<br /><br />Onboard the <i>Titan</i>, Jack tries to use his powers to unlock the ship, but Vadic catches it.<br /><br />Don't kill T'Veen... don't kill T'Veen... don't kill T'Veen... DAMMIT!<br /><br />Data is now the only one who can unlock the ship, but can't do so while fighting Lore, so the partition is dropped.<br /><br />Before leaving the <i>Shrike</i>, we get confirmation that the Changelings basically scooped out the parts of Picard's corpse affected by Irumodic Syndrome.<br /><br />Data appears to be unwilling to fight Lore as Lore keeps taking memory keepsakes from him. One of those keepsakes is our nod to Tasha: The little holographic crystal thingy. However, Data has been using Lore's greed against him. By taking so much of Data, Lore is defeated from the inside out.<br /><br />Data unlocks the ship, and with help from Riker, Troi, Worf, and Raffi, the ship is retaken.<br /><br />"Fucking solids." *WHOOSH* <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Vadic is frozen in space, shatters against the hull of the <i>Shrike</i>, and is presumably blown up along with the ship.<br /><br />Needing to know exactly what's up with Jack, Deanna uses her empathic abilities to walk him through opening the red door. Jack turns the knob and... cut to black.<br /><br />I liked this episode a lot better than I thought I would, especially since I thought last week's first half was merely okay. Lots of unexpected humor (I was full-on belly-laughing at points) and lots of heartwarming scenes with the TNG crew.

Trek in the modern era really is all about blowing people out of airlocks, isn’t it - when they’re not getting sucked out of hull breaches anyway!<br /><br />Worf has a cloaked shuttle?<br /><br />Sooo, just two episodes to go and we still don’t know who Talky Hand Guy and/or Annoying Red Door Lady are. Could get a bit rushed - I mean, though I’ve enjoyed it more than I expected (Data - PROPER Data - back like he always should have been! Spot!
