While giant space battles, explosions & even technobabble ARE enjoyable from time to time, I agree. Star Trek IS at its "best" when the 'Sci Fi' is the background/ setting/ ambiance, instead of the main focus of the episode. When the Core is something "deeper" and more intellectual.

Can we admire Engineer O'Brien's poker skills. (Without spoilers) They return to the poker game throughout the series. At various times he's playing against an android who can instantly run the potential of any hand. A command officer. A cyborg who can read his cards. An empath. A Klingon who doesn't like to lose. And the captain of his ship. He looks at all of them and decides "Finally, a challenge."

This episode is so well written! It was the first TV screenplay by newly hired writer Melinda Snodgrass, who had previously been an attorney. Online I read a shooting script for the episode labeled "final draft". Some of the most crucial hard-hitting dialog, like Guinan's conversation about "disposable people", isn't in it. It must have been revised at the last minute.

The Measure of a Man is Star Trek at it's best, when it actually looks at the deeper issues that honestly can't be answered by science. When the JAG officer answers "Does he have a soul? Heck I don't know if I have one.", sums up one of the existential problems that philosophers have been arguing over for millenia.

Picard's final statements, so to speak, in that hearing are just marvelous, both in word and in performance. As are her final words during her ruling of the case. This is just the start of that extraordinary relationship between Picard and Data.

I've broken wind in a courtroom more than the average cat. (Rookie police year 1982 Texas, retired 2016 Nottingham England)...the one-two punch Pickard missed was: If Data is property, it means Star Fleet needs to show its "title," how much latinum did they pay? None? Oh...ok...where did you find him? You didn't find him did you...Dr. Soong didn't will him to you either did he. Data walked into a recruiters office and JOINED Star Fleet of his own free will didn't he. The Enterprise didn't join Star Fleet, Star Fleet payed good latinum (sorry Ferengie comes out in me when money is involved) to have her build, show all the billions of citizens in the federation that Star Fleet legally holds title to commander Data and has a right to determine his fate. That's the slap, followed up with, the he's a life form argument/ backhand.

This was the episode outside the norm, there was no murder, there was no mystery, and there was no intergalactic threat to overcome. This was a moment that would define a single character's existence for the rest of the series. We learn more about Data himself, that he has 'feelings' for his fellow crewmates, he experienced love and intimacy along with a broken heart, and he was in fear of losing his life and everything that made him who he was. Data-sentric episodes were some of the best episodes as far as I was concerned.

Here we go! "Measure Of A Man" - an important _TNG_ episode, when the show stopped trying to be _TOS 2.0_ & briefly evolved fully into the thoughtful, challenging, mature drama it would eventually become in Seasons 4-7. Also an early taste of _Trek_ at it's philosophical best in _DS9,_ _Voyager_ & beyond. Ep written by real life attorney & author Melinda Snodgrass.

This episode is an example of rare television. The question of Data's sentience also serves as a broader question about human rights and what we, as humans owe to one another in our society. I just realized that Data's quest to be more human is really incorrect. He aspires to be more like Spock. He wants to feel the emotions but have the ability to control them. BTW, can anyone envision any other actor as Data? I sure can't. Brent Spiner is perfect. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Loved your reaction Jen. Always makes me smile.

To me, this was the first GREAT episode of the series and really shows where things can and will go.

Also, I recently saw an old episode of M*A*S*H and she played a member of a USO group (people entertaining the troops). She played an accordion and backing vocals. She's a singer/songwriter in addition to acting.

One argument in defense of Data occurred to me: in giving Data rank (Lt. Commander) and responsibilities, Starfleet acknowledges that Data ISN’T their property. Tricorders, phasers and starships among other things are property, but they have no rank nor assigned responsibilities of any kind. They are inanimate objects. If Starfleet did not trust Data, they would not have allowed him to be an officer.

I love that you've been asking questions about Data since the beginning of the series; questions that are explored in this episode... Questions that we're perhaps going to have to start asking about AI in our generation. Such an important episode, both for Data and for us as watchers.

'Measure of a Man' was the first GREAT episode of ST: TNG. It's amazing to me that this episode was generated during a writer's strike shortened season with picket line crossers. There is one more season two ep that will knock your socks off.

Scared the crap out of me there for a second, didn't notice you split the videos up into two separate ones for once. How would I ever survive without double Jen TNG?! The HORROR!

Like many, I don't think this show takes off until season 3 (a common theme in Star Trek shows) but this episode really stands out. Definitely one of the best.

Patrick Stewart's performance in this episode is great and I think wildly underapprieciated. All the subtle changes in tone like when data asks why human officers aren't required to get VISORs and Picard realizes what he's saying. The best to me is the way he uses an almost whimsical tone to ask some of the questions "seems reasonably sentient to me" with the little pauses. It's my favorite part of this episode and a big, big reason Picard became MY captain after being a TOS fanatic as a kid.

Stewart's voice and the skillful camera work as he cross-examines Maddox about Data being a race gives me chills. Even the soundtrack plays into it, it's all so damn well done. What a fabulous episode.

oh I forgot. If you liked the computer reading off Data's service record, you can see McCoy's, Spock's, and THE James T. Kirk's in the 5-year mission episode "Court Martial". :)

A court martial is a standard investigation when a ship is lost and doesn't inherently imply any sort of guilt.

This is a fabulous episode of TNG. However, a lot of people don’t give Asimov credit for doing this first in his novel Adam Link. It was also reimagined in Oiter limits with Leonard Nimoy as the attorney defending Adam, and was the one of the novels that was the basis for I Robot with Will Smith. That being said, I’ve rewatched and adore this episode more than the others by far.

This right here is Trek at its best. And what most, not all - but most new Trek really doesn't get right (or even attempt for the most part).

Sadly, the one recent attempt that comes to mind to replicate this episode failed to get to the heart of the matter. It's a shame because the premise was a strong one, but the episode was unable to do it justice.

Watching this while it's still up, given the recent experience of Target Audience...somewhat ironic that the copyright detection works by A.I., considering the plot of this episode.

The moment that an "artificial person" is advanced enough for others to ask whether or not it should have rights it when it, indeed, should be granted those rights. The honest question is enough proof that the time is NOW.
