Despite telling parts of Data's origin story (well, in a broad ense) and despite the premise being intriguing in theory, it's a pretty weak episode. I like the Vulcan doctor though. Memo to the writers: you can't just do something with Data and expect it to work alright. Plus, Data's behavior is so suspicious, the crew should have noticed the issue way earlier. Ironically, it's the first time that Deanna is doing actual psychology work. She seems to be better with machines than people (in the first seasons). Plus: how does this work? He transferred everything that makes him human and Data's computer can handle that fine? Why can't Data download another man's brain to augment his personalitythen? The only memorable scene is perhaps Data's eulogy. That's almost a comedy. Reminds me of Data "Ode to Spock".
