Brothers is a nice little episode, but it could have been a lot better. I never really liked the Lore character, it just seemed too cliche, and Dr Soong, while nice to meet him, is also very cliche with no decent backstory.

What an extraordinary episode! I’ve never seen this one before so it was all new for me and what a treat. Getting to see Picard’s family was great and it felt genuine, especially his anger with his brother, but the subplot with Worf and his parents was also excellent and I wish we got more of it. This is a top 5 episode; loved it.
