Holy fuck, “The Measure of a Man” is the best TNG episode that I saw until now.

Have all those brilliance who made me love Star Trek when I started watching TOS.

I have don’t words to describe. But the old discussion - how we can determine the rights of life of someone by some padrons? How determine these dubious and crooked lines? With a, at first, a good and innocent idea, could be subverted in a idea of slavery?

Seriously, is fucking brilliant.

Picard was priceless during all the episode, and I just suffer so hard with Riker - he had to accusing Data, even that he was in his side. Poor, poor baby.

And Data. Holy shit, he packing his things, his medals, his books and the hologram of Tasha - I almost cry.

Hell, I fucking love this show. If someone says that Star Trek isn’t a clever show, this person clearly did not saw the series.

Data (Alien): What is death?
Picard: Some see it as a changing into an indestructible form, forever unchanging. They believe that the purpose of the entire universe is to then maintain that form, in an Earth-like garden, which will give delight and pleasure through all eternity. On the other hand, there are those who hold to the idea of our blinking into nothingness with all of our experiences, hopes, and dreams... merely a delusion. Considering the marvelous complexity of the universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that—matter, energy, gravitation, time, dimension—I believe that our existence must be more than either of these philosophies. That what we are goes beyond euclidean, or other "practical" measuring systems, and that our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now as reality.
