Star Trek: The Next Generation 1.12

Datalore

The Enterprise visits Omicron Theta, the world where Data was found over 20 years earlier. Omicron Theta once had a human colony of over 400 people but it has been abandoned for decades.

An away team consisting of Data, Commander Riker, Lt. Geordi La Forge, Lt. Tasha Yar, and Lt. Worf beams down to the planet. They find the pieces of what looks like an exact duplicate of Data. They bring it back to the Enterprise and Mister Argyle (from engineering) and Doctor Crusher assemble it.

Star Trek: The Next Generation 1.05

Where No One Has Gone Before

Something goes wrong when Kosinski, a visiting propulsion specialist, is upgrading the Enterprise's warp drive. The Enterprise travels faster and farther than any ship has ever traveled before and winds up so far from where they were that it would take them over 300 years to get back.

Kosinski attempts to get the Enterprise back to where it is but the starship winds up somewhere even stranger looking. Wesley Crusher was in engineering at the time and noticed something strange about Kosinki's assistant who is an alien, only identified as the Traveller. Wesley tries to tell Commander Riker but Riker won't listen and only considers the possibility after he witnesses the phenomenon himself.
