Is anyone else disappointed by Brothers?

I watched it recently. I really liked it.

I prefer to appreciate the show for the character work, direction, designs and so on. I leave the tedious nitpicking to others.

All the plot holes described are the engine that makes the story move. If things worked more logically, most Star Trek episodes would be 2 minutes long, or 50 minutes of nothing happening.
 
I like it.

Things like Data being able to commandeer the ship sure it crossed my mind it's a fatal flaw - but something I laugh at more than am troubled by. If you pick at the tapestry of Trek's issues like that it'd fall apart.

The young brother stuff isn't great and is forced jeopardy... and "They're brothers, Data. Brothers forgive," is delivered with all the tact of Naked Bolian Mudwrestling by Crusher and it's an awful line.

Can't forgive Data for pushing you off a boat Bev, but you think he should forgive Lore even though that's likely an emotion and Lore just killed his pa while stealing his emotion chip? Sure. Oh but Pulaski is meannnn.

Ironically, Pulaski ended up understanding him better than everyone else.
