In "Legacy" the Enterprise has to rescue a pair of Federation crewman from a crash-landed shuttle. The craft has landed on Tasha Year's home planet, a failed human settlement that has been written off by the Federation long ago. The crew soon finds themselves in the middle of a gang war with Tasha's sister offering them assistance... But she may have ulterior motives.
This one's a bit if a let down. You'd think meeting Tasha's sister would be a monumental moment but the episode falls flat. The double cross at the end is a fun twist but I really don't understand why she did it. She says she's never had a friend and always has to look out for herself with no regard for others... So why then does she decide to blow her chance to get off the planet by sabotaging the rival gang to help hers? I don't understand it.
Her friendship with Data is kind of fun but that's really the only highlight to this one. I don't really understand the proximity implants of the world building that they jam into this episode. Since they remove it from her, it doesn't have a plot reason beyond a memento for Data. I don't get why they trust her so implicitly. There's some bad writing here that really holds this episode back from being better.
