Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 11, Timothy emulates Data, highlighting the tension between artificial and organic identity. In Episode 12, Jev invades Troi's memories, juxtaposing another form of personal invasion. Both events reflect the theme of boundaries—whether emotional, psychological, or digital—being breached, with Riker positioned as an observer or mediator in both cases.
