In that episode, the (possesed) Data is gived a goofy psyche-test on computer wherein dozens of images flash in rapid seuence and a computer monitors your mental reactions (how in fuck this test-made for organics) applies to an android like data is beyond me).
All of the flashed images are stock footage from earler episodes, including (somehow) one of Yar's holographic funeral message (as though someone thought it's be funny to have that in the test).
So...that's it....unless your "?" was regarding how such a crappy episode was ever made in the first place, in which case, I concur wholeheartedly with "?".

Simply that A) said epsode sucked B) said stock footage sucked and C)...er....the episode sucked! SUCKED I SAY!
Fucking "Shades of Grey" was more watchable.

I found the most obvious contraction flub was the one Data yelled. In "We'll Always Have Paris", when the three Datas are trying to figure out which of them is from the correct time continuum, the one in the middle shouts out, "It's me!"

I always thought it was the one I mentioned earlier, from "Datalore". They spend all that time explaining how Data can't use contractions. Then, at the end of the episode, Data says "I'm fine!" I still think the crew should have yelled "Oh no, we spaced the wrong one!" and beamed Data off the ship.

a) When was Data possessed in "Measure of a Man"? b) Thinking "Measure of a Man" is worse than "Shades of Grey" is the most wrongthink thing ever since Andrew's compaints about Yoda in Attack of the Clones.

I think he means "The Schizoid Man" where Dr. Graves went all Agent Smith on Data. That's the one where Data got the psych test. we also met the lovely Dr. Selar.
The holographic footage I was talking about though was actually from "Measure of a Man" when they take out the little holo-cube thingy during the trial. It wasn't on a viewscreen.
Come on Jason, get your decade-old tv series episodes straight!
(Actually, I also wonder where they got it from. Looped footage from "Skin of Evil" or custom shot stuff. Although in "The Most Toys" when we see it from behind, I bet it was a stand-in.)

We see it from behind, but we never have the camera pan around it. At least, as far as I can recall.

Of course not. Camera pans cost money. This was the "Shades of Grey' season, remember. Another reason why I doubt Crosby was brought in for custom footage.

I thought that Shades of Grey existed out of a writing deficit, and not a money deficit.

Yes, but being the first season, you want to keep a bit of money behind in case the whole thing flops, (or to make the second season better)

Or you spend lots of money on your season finale so that people will be more inclined to watch again next season. And I'll admit I'm not an expert on TV budgeting, and I know that shows will often have a cheap episode to allow them to spend more on another, more expensive one, but I can't see that applying across different seasons.
Also, it was the second season, not the first. Mr Wrong.
