In theory from season 4 is really good

Datalore, The Measure of a Man and The Offspring are all decent Data outings.

 

[Alrik]

You cold also look at Pen Pals, The Ensigns of Command, The Most Toys, Brothers, Legacy, Hero Worship, Time's Arrow, A Fistful of Datas, Birthright Part 1, Descent, Thine Own Self, and for the most part Masks.

The Measure of a Man and The Offspring are all decent Data outings.

If by "decent" you mean AWESOME. Not just great 'Data episodes', but two of the greatest episodes in the whole series. "Brothers", "The Most Toys", and "The Ensigns of Command" are excellent showcases for him as well, but "A Fistful of Datas" is more about Worf, despite Data being in the title.

Agreed, for the most part. But it does have some to do with the Geordi and Data's little experiment going afoul, and Data showing up replacing different holocharacters. It's kind of in the same way that Data has a large role in Time's Arrow and Descent, but there is much more going on around him involving the other characters.

Not a huge fan of The Measure of a Man... just came off as very flat to me. And I knew the whole electronics being sentient thing would hurt them down the road.

Just out of curiosity, how do you think that "hurt them down the road"?

Tin man is a Data heavy episode.

Never liked Descent much. The whole thing felt like a Voyager episode. Definitely not my favorite.

You're quite mistaken if you think I was including "Descent" in my examples of awesome Data episodes. I purposely excluded it from my quoting. I don't like it either. Other than the intriguing teaser sequence before the opening credits in the first episode, I thought both of those episodes sucked. It was definitely an example of going to the well too many times with both Lore and the Borg. I prefer to think of their last appearances on the series as "Brothers" and "I, Borg" respectively.

"The Measure of a Man" is probably the best Data episode in my opinion. It's also one of the best episodes in all of TNG.
