Season 1 Episode 13
Episode: "Datalore"
Arguably my favourite story of Season 1. The Enterprise enters the Omicron Theta system for a quick visit to a former Earth colony, also the planet on which Lieutenant Commander Data was discovered. Commander Riker leads an away team down to the long abandoned and largely dead world, picking up on the location where Data was discovered some 26 years prior, the away team locate the hidden advanced cybernetics laboratory, a facility run by Data's creator, Doctor Noonian Soong. The away team find their way into Doctor Soong's lab where the make another startling discovery; another Data-like android disassembled in storage. Naturally we're all eager to see what happens when this android reassembled but unfortunately a can of worms is opened and this android, Lore despite looking, sounding and smelling like Data is actually unstable, ambitious and dangerous. - Data's evil twin!
It's Lore's rebirth: From the point of the away team's discovery of him on Omicron Theta to the point where he's been assembled and all interested parties wait to see if he actually wakes up... and he does! - "You may call me Lore."
You can tell that something's not right with Lore because the eighties synths chime in at a low register the moment Lore opens his mouth! :-D
