Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

These moments crystallize the tension between personhood and property in Ep 9 (Data) and sovereign authority in Ep 10 (Salia), with Riker observing both as the bridge's tactical authority. The parallel underscores Riker's role as the lens through which institutional power is mediated.
