Remembering Datalore

Here's an excellent interview with Brent Spiner and Rob Bowman remembering the creation of "Datalore," the Next Generation episode which introduced Data's brother Lore and changed the course of Star Trek in many ways. As you'll see, it allowed Brent Spiner new insights into Data and more freedom in his acting, without which we no doubt would never have had the Erik Soong story arc on Enterprise, and probably would not have seen as much growth in Data's character throughout the rest of TNG and into the first two TNG movies.
