Synopsis: Betazed prodigy Tam Elbrum goes looking for a heart.

Memory Alpha Summary:  And some courage by the looks of it

Review: I’m reminded of our scientist from Evolution who told Troi to stop looking into his soul.  He would not have been a Tam fan, who can not only read all thoughts, but can’t stop reading them.  Naturally, he has great difficulty in social situations.  Naturally, he makes a friend in Data, whom he can’t read.

Unfortunately, despite a race with the Romulans to find Tin Man, an organism that doubles as a human spaceship, there is not a lot of heart in this episode.  The script is decent, and the conclusion is tidy, but it’s not really all that tense and not really all that moving.

I do like when Picard changes his intended time for a briefing just because Tam read his mind.
