Star Trek: The Next Generation - 04x06 Legacy

Summary: Stardate: 44215.2 An escape pod from the U.S.S. Arcos has landed on Turkana IV, the home of the late Lt. Tasha Yar. As the planet no longer has a stable government, it has become a veritable warzone, controlled by two factions, the Alliance and the Coalition. The former captured the survivors in the pod while the latter is endeavoring to assist the Enterprise crew with their recovery. However, all is not as it seems, particularly when a young woman named Ishara Yar comes on the scene.

	Season 4 / Episode 6: - Legacy Ishara Yar: [before beaming back to her planet] You know, Data, I wasn't always lying to you. That time we spent talking...that was the closest thing to friendship I've ever had - if that means anything to you. Lt. Commander Data: Energize.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: The story Picard tells Ishara about his first encounter with her sister suggests that Tasha Yar had joined the Enterprise at a later date, when Picard was already in command of that ship. In "Encounter at Farpoint", however (and in the series finale "All Good Things..."), she was part of the initial crew at the start of Picard's command of the Enterprise.
CONT: In the final scene, when Data is talking to Riker, his left hand is closed in a fist as if he's holding something. When he leaves, it is still closed, yet when the camera changes to the outside, the chip is already held between his thumb and pointer.
CONT: In the scene when Ishara gives Data a kiss on the bridge you can clearly see three full buttons on his uniform collar, which signify a higher rank. It remains like that until the end of the scene. He usually carries only two buttons and one partial which signifies his actual rank.
