This is one of the more intelligent of the TNG episodes dealing with an ethical and moral dilemma - what is the measure of a man, is Data just the property of Starfleet to do with whatever they want just because he's an android (and therefore has no personal freedoms) - would that border on slavery as Whoopi Goldberg (in another appearance as Guinan) points out? Captain Picard has received to have Data report to Brian Brophy a cybernetics Initially, JAG captain Phillipa Louvois rules summarily in favor of Maddox, so Picard requests a hearing. Most science fiction explores a variety of the elements of the human condition but I believe that few do so as well and as completely as Star Trek.
It's nice to have a break from violence and cheap thrills.

Writer Melinda Snodgrass convinced him that even if there were no crime, people would still have to settle civil disputes, negotiate contracts, etc. So, it's up to Picard to represent Data at a hearing in which his fate will be in the balance. Some people will just never get it, and while I concede that some people are also in danger of getting it a bit too much, classing Star Trek as just sci fi can mean you miss out on some real gems. Most of the aliens were still rather obviously guys in rubber suits, and a shaky camera more than often doubled up as a strike from an enemy vessel.
