* InnocentlyInsensitive: [=McAdams=] suggests that maybe the reason Dr. Soong was able to do what no one else could has something to do with how much he wanted it to happen. Data asks if that means he didn't want Lal to live. [[spoiler:In retrospect, it's potentially an intentional {{Invok|ed Trope}}ing of this trope to further conceal her true identity]]

** Trying to console Data, Picard quotes ''Farewell to Arms'', specifically "the world breaks everyone, and afterwards everyone is strong at the broken places". Unfortunately, he's dealing with Data, who finishes the quote, specifically: "those is does not break, it kills."

** Much, around Vaslovik. For starters, the fact he's an old man in the Soong flashbacks, which were ''decades'' before the main story, and yet is still around and active during the modern parts, something a little suspicious even with the longer ages of people in ''Star Trek'', and moreso considering that Graves and Soong, who were much younger than Vaslovik appeared to be, were both old men by the time they appeared on the series, while Vaslovik is still in much the same condition he was in those older memories. Also, the fact he doesn't like Starfleet captains (especially gung-ho types).

Also, the fact he doesn't like Starfleet captains (especially gung-ho types).

Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: While Data and Doctor Crusher ''do'' spend time together, Crusher muses at one point that she and Data arguably spend the least time together of all the senior staff as Data obviously doesn't often have need of her medical services.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Rewrite}}: Back in "What Little Girls Are Made Of", Ruk explained that the Old Ones grew fearful of their servants, apparently without cause, and tried turning them off, so the robots turned on them in self-defense. Here, we get the testimony of an Old One, which states the situation was more complex than that. There is some wiggle room since even in the original episode Ruk's memory was pretty hazy after fifty thousand years alone.

* AndIMustScream: The way [[spoiler:Sam]] talks about it suggests that he was to some degree aware during the half million years that his android body was lying inert in the lab.

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: While the other androids go into stasis, Ruk alone is left active to wait for someone to show up. It takes ''five hundred thousand years'' for this to happen. By then, Ruk is so far gone he can't even remember his reason for being and consequently forgets that he's supposed to wake the other androids at this point (or for that matter that said other androids even exist).

* AmnesiacResonance: [[spoiler:M-5 doesn't remember its past, evidently a precaution of Vaslovik's, but the programming of "survival at any cost" is still hardwired into it.
