Synopsis: Data becomes part of a collection of rare antiquities.

Memory Alpha Summary: Fortune and glory

Review:  A very talky episode that fortunately is supported by a really good story.  I found one of Riker’s quotes especially poignant when he says that for an android with no feelings, Data evoked a lot of emotions in everyone else.  Well, Fajo, who kidnapped Data, is quite similar.  A classic antisocial personality, he virtually has no real depth of feelings, yet can make everyone around him very emotional.  Thus, Data, ironically, is his perfect foil.

The final scene, where Data has to decide whether or not to murder Fajo, is also brilliant.  The ending is left ambiguous, implying Data’s programming was so conflicted by the situation that he was neither honest nor dishonest when Riker questioned him as to whether or not he fired at Fajo.  It sends chills down my spine, which Spiner can easily do.  On a different day, this episode might be Top 20.
