Star Trek: The Next Generation season 5 episode 4 "Silicon Avatar" explained. Join me as I review and recap this criminally underrated episode that sees the return of the Crystalline Entity; a cheesy two dimensional monster from Season 1, yet this episode somehow manages to build a complex and dramatic story of revenge and hatred vs. understanding and communication around it. Most impressive. Plus this is an excellent Data story as he enables a mother's grief and it consumes her.
