Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Ep216, Q taunts Picard about human mortality, emphasizing his own agelessness. In Ep313, Data remarks that Q has achieved in disgrace what Data always aspired to be—human. Q's former contempt for humanity is now his condition."
