* {{Shibboleth}}: Data can't use contractions, Lore can. Although this failed spectacularly because Data is heard using a contraction right at the end! Fans fond of growing EpilepticTrees were briefly convinced that this meant Lore actually had somehow replaced or taken over Data, rather than just being a mistake. Considering there was no way they could have missed the flub (since it's a ''plot point'') one wonder why they didn't just treat it like any other blooper and reshoot it.

The two are similar but data implies pure information and is dispassionate, while lore is less precise.

That said, given Lore's general behavior it's possible that he's being an UnreliableNarrator, and that he was actually deactivated for being a complete psychopath.

The ship encounters the Crystalline Entity, and the ship's shields protect it from the feeding beam, but Lore has a plan to trick Picard into dropping the shields, offering to replicate a large tree and beam it out into space, then destroy it with phasers to demonstrate the ''Enterprise''[='=]s power. He goes to the cargo bay and has a showdown with Data, who manages to get Lore onto a transporter pad so Wesley can beam Lore out. If beaming a tree into space and destroying it would result in dropping the shields enough for the entity to attack, then why doesn't beaming Lore into space have the same effect? This is never answered. Finally, Data is asked how he is handling the circumstances. Data says "'''I'm''' fine."

The Enterprise crew finds a disassembled android identical to Data at the site of the Omicron Theta colony—where Data was found—which was destroyed by a life form dubbed "the Crystalline Entity." The reassembled android, Lore, claims that Data was created first, and was considered the "less perfect" android. Lore is given a tour of the Enterprise, and later on he tricks Data into drinking something that immobilizes him. He then switches clothes with him, copies over his [[CharacterTics Facial Tic]] over to Data and erases his own, and pretends to be Data, claiming that "Lore" attacked him in his quarters. All this is for the purpose of offering the ''Enterprise'' to the Crystalline Entity, which he had been in contact with and invited to Omicron Theta in the first place, gaining its gratitude for all the life forms it consumed there.
