    I believe his point is being in way too many episodes before being dropped and forgotten about for years.

      Hey, I like Alexander! And Lwaxana Troi. And the episode that they both star in where we get to see Data in drag.

        That’s a different one, for a fistful of datas should be the title. It’s worf and alexander playing a holodeck western, there is a malfunction that injects data into some recreational programs (and vice versa). This then bit by bit turns every person in the simulation into versions of data, including the, uh, voluptuous bartender who has a thing for the sheriff (played by worf)

          The real beauty of this is that we found out there is no point of diminishing returns on Brent Spiner as an android.

            That and it’s always fun to see Brent Spiner’s comedic skills come out, because he’s very funny. He was in a bunch of sitcoms before TNG, most notably an entertaining run on Night Court.

        “Fistful of Datas” has Data in drag but I don’t think Lwaxana was in that. Are you thinking of “Cost of Living”? I like that one. It was filmed not long after Gene died and you can see it in Majel’s performance. She gives a speech about very old and alone, and you really feel it.

        I am with you with Lwaxana, but Alexander is a step too far for me.
