Star Trek: TNG Rewatch: 4x11 "Data's Day"

Jeyl - Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope to see you back doing these threads soon.
Trekker4747 - thanks for picking up Captrek's mantle. I have missed the "episode of the week" threads these past few weeks.

I don't have anything new to add to this discussion other than echoing the voices that love this bottle episode.

She was portrayed rather harshly in pretty much every episode we see her in across both series. In the next episode we see kinda getting all bent out of shape and almost disgusted over the idea of O'Brien's mother (or grandmother) preparing meals with actual raw meat "She touched actual meat with her hands?!"

Poor O'Brien. Keiko doesn't like touching his raw meat.

Surprised no one mentioned that Data gets a cat from out of nowhere in this episode. I thought maybe I skipped a disc during my rewatch!

This episode for me is one of the best of the "diversion"-type stories. I think it also paid good respect to Data as a character trying to handle situations as best as he could. Sometimes the higher comedy stories do not necessarily work, or they are overplayed or overdone.
