Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In E21, Data counters Worf's dismissal of Zakdorn strategy by emphasizing systemic perception over brute force. In E22, he applies similar deductive logic to identify the vine's predatory pattern, reinforcing his role as a bridge between abstract strategy and concrete solutions.
