[Rating]
4 - Good episode: A few parts of the episode are above average - good plot points, clever use of effects and so on.

{Episode Commentary}
i don't like the character of ira graves for what he tries to do to data. that said there is some tremendously good acting by brent spiner portraying graves-in-data.
