Given that this is Data and this is the episode in which Tasha is killed, is that meant to be a pun in reference to the name of another episode?
Because would not that make this line then make sense?
Favorite out-of-character lines?

Nah. I could have just as easily said "blatant".
My favorite out of character performance was Mirina Sirtis in the episode 'Power Play'. The voice she put on was chilling and her facial expressions and body language were so believably threatening. It was shocking to see this coming from a character portrayed as so empathetic and passive during the rest of the show. Colm Meaney was also really good in this episode as well and I think it was episodes like this that allowed his character to stand out enough to be written into DS9.
Probably not really out of character (as it shows his social clumnsiness) but I always liked Worf's Good tea. Nice House. line from The Survivors.
Edit: Just thought of this line from First Contact. (Then again, movie Picard generally is pretty much out of character when compared to TNG series Picard - in particular when compared to what we saw in I, Borg.)
PICARD: No! ...I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already. Too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here, ...this far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done.

Demona, one of the most complex, and terrifying villains of children's television. That lady actually killed people on screen.
Which really just goes back to my old theory that Marina Sirtis would have had the ability to portray a more complex character than Troi, if the writer's room hadn't gone "telepaths are hard, man"
And Matriarch Benezia in the game Mass Effect - though she's a dual-natured character there, the "evil" side is pretty intimidating. And again as the initially cold but heroic Elena "Outrider" Dragunova in X-COM2: War of the Chosen (where her character works for a faction whose leader is voiced by Jonathan Frakes, and she initially has issues teaming up with a member of another faction voiced by Michael Dorn - really that whole add-on pack is a TNG reunion... Crosby and de Lancie also contribute).
