The book was all about Data's history; who invented him (Dr. Soong), his brother, his 'child' etc. This episode, 'Datalore', was where Data first encounters his brother Lore. It started out really really cheesy, with Data coming to his 'home' planet where he was first discovered. Some cheesy sentimental string music played as he looked down on the planet. The planet is now dead, no signs of life at all, so what do they decide to do...beam a team down. Great idea?
They do a little looking around and find a hidden laboratory where Data's brother Lore's parts are found. They take them back to the ship and put it together, bringing Lore to life.
Turns out Lore is evil. He has a plan to 'feed' some weird crystal thing. He wants to feed it life, the life of all the people on the ship. Well, in the end he does not succeed b/c of Wesley Crusher...again.
Lore tries to pull the ol' Parent Trap trick, where he tries to trick everyone into thinking he is his twin Data. Lil' Wesley notices the small differences with Lore (a twitch and Lore uses contractions). It ends up with Data and Lore fighting it out near a beamer thing (a tranporter thingy), Data manages to throw Lore onto the 'beam me up' thing and Wesley happens to be there to push the button sending Lore into space.
Then the episode just ends? No real wrap up...b/c I know Lore comes back and Data has to shut him down permanently from my extra curricular studies (mentioned in the Immortal Coil book, haha I'm a trekky)
