    Fascinating !

    To see Picard and Spock talk was awesome in itself, the plot is solid, Spock beeing here make it a fantastic épisode, his talk with Data was absolutely Incredible, His father died but Picard offert him the chance to see what his father truly feel... Amazing Thank you Star trek 9/10.

    Spock made it so!

    IMHO, the very best episode of Next Generation.

    While STNG was a huge success in it's own right, the inclusion of Leonard Nemoy as Ambassador Spock in these past two episodes, have made them truly magical!!.

    The simple presence of Spock made these episodes very special, for those of us who are old enough to remember and treasure the original Star Trek.

    9 out 10, Loved it!

    Leonard Nimoy is Here!

    Leonard Nimoy (Spock) makes an appearance.

    45 minutes of television that perfectly reveals why Original Series is better than Next Generation. With Leonard Nimoy given all this screen time and with the talented Malachi Throne also being present - this should have been totally mind blowing! But it is not!

    Like no other time in Star Trek history, this hour will make you compare the two shows. TOS had energetic music cues playing all the time but TNG has these endless sleepy cues playing.

    There is talk, talk and talk but nobody is really saying anything of interest. The conversations were better in TOS.

    Unification briefly shines when Spock has a thought provoking conversation with Data, but other than that, this hour will send you running to your Blu rays for an Original Series repeat viewing!

    Terrible overhyped episode

    This was about as entertaining as Star Trek V. The most anticlimactic 2-parter. The needless re-insertion of Sela...the most unnecessary and quickly forgotten character of TNG...made it even worse.

    There could have been many interesting ways to bring Spock back...this wasn't one of them.

    Decent

    I enjoyed this 2-part episode.

    Lots of got moments in it.

    The best was seeing Data as a Romulan, and interacting with the Kilogons - he just makes me laugh a lot.

    I didn't like Denise Crosby's but. She is just a bad actor and I'm baffled why they plugged her back into the script. She just wasn't convincing and there was no synergy in her performance.

      As Data, Spock and Picard head to the underground tunnels to make their escape, a film crewman's reflection can be seen in the green crystal on the table.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Commander Data: Ambassador Spock, may I ask a personal question?

      Ambassador Spock: Please.

      Lt. Commander Data: As you examine your life, do you find you have missed your humanity?

      Ambassador Spock: I have no regrets.

      Lt. Commander Data: "No regrets." That is a human expression.

      Ambassador Spock: Yes... Fascinating.
