Data Gets a Girlfriend

Story: In Theory
Written By: Joe Menosky & Ronald D. Moore
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1991

This is a weird one. Some chick wants to band a robot, so she wants to date Data. It is weird. Data is awkward and doesn’t know what to do in this kind of situation, and then he gets over the top and it is meant to be funny, but it just comes off as annoying.
I didn’t dig this one, I think the issue of Data wanting to take a mate is an intriguing one, but the execution is not that great.
