S x 10 This is as good as it gets.

I actually really like both the A and the B plot in this episode, I think they both work well and tie together nicely in the end. Plus, the music is awesome in this episode! I would say this episode is between an A and S tier, a touch closer to S tier side for me. "Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you..."

B plot will tank Target Audience's tier rating. They've been longing for a "day in the life" episode, and this is a classic case of "No, not the plot!!:
Max Yoder
You guys are going to really like this one. Slice of life with some of your favorite characters
Ian Westcott
I think they'll S this one. It's the sort of thing they've asked for.

B. A solid episode. Though I think you guys might rate it A
Timothy the Terrific Tabaxi
One of my favorite episodes! I have a soft spot for slice of life episodes.
M.E. Burnes
His voice…
Jordan Cooper
The B plot gave the episode some stakes and was deftly woven around the A plot to keep things intriguing - the episode would otherwise have been too whimsical (as an adult I absolutely love the character building/development and the fresh perspective of exploring the day-to-day life of the crew) but when I was younger that wouldn’t have been entertaining for long - the B plot balanced it out perfectly and it’s good to see the good guys lose for a change and have been outsmarted by the Romulans and enhances them as an adversary for the next encounter
#MaxwellDidNothingWrong
Another case where swapping the traditional 'A' and 'B' plots is served from having a cast of characters so well beloved.

This isn't the best episode of TNG but its my favorite
Dr. Soong
Personally love this! But I love every Data episode. Love this episode for the simple „how the crew lives on the enterprise“. Friendship, love, a bit politics. Like the family episodes but with a focus on someone who doesn’t have bio family but a found one. I think you will either love this or think it’s okay. The plot with the romulans certainly isn’t the best. But regarding Data, I just love how the episode depicts his everyday life view and struggles. Being in a new relationship, having a pet and also trying to make your friends happy. Social cues can be hard but in the end you will always find your people. This episode is my comfort watch, whenever I feel down. Data to save my day.
Shanelle
In actuality, I go back and forth between A and S. I’m on A right now.
Shanelle
S for Data’s smile 😬
Dan Halstead
Solid A+. So, A or S depending how stingy I'm feeling about giving out S's.
Collin Freeman
I had it reversed. I thought the main plot involved Data and therefore the wedding which I considered the A-plot. The B-plot I consider to be the whole Romulan ambassador business.
Andrew Buel
S. Good moments for Data and a fun episode overall.
Camping On A Budget
Main plot with the Romulans was meh to me. But I loved the subplot introducing Keiko and Spot. More of them to come!
Troy Massey
The dancing doctor!
Silk
Just your average day of acting as father of the bride, learning to tap dance and getting hoodwinked by the romulans.
Darren Seal
Oh an easy A tier maybe even S tier. Such a charming episode
Linda Stricker
They will love any O'Brien-centric (or centric-adjacent) episode!
C
It doesn't need the B plot, but it's still quality acting by both Romulans - imagine not smiling for years playing the perfect Vulcan
J Potter
S-tier. Personal favorite, brilliant development of a key character and a fresh perspective from Data's eyes. It was amazing 30yrs ago, and is always a great rewatch, year after year.
Josef Nitervol
A Tier
M.E. Burnes
Easy A, A+. And let me give kudos to the voice of Admiral Mendak, portrayed by Alan Scarfe. Just found out he died from colon cancer this April.
Dru Blood
The dancing doctor... Need I say more... S
Benjamin Azure
Run, Miles. Run fast, run far.

For me, this is an S. It is a quintessential Star Trek episode. You get crew lives. A special ambassador. Silly hijinx with O'brian and Keiko. A narrative by Data. Last but not least you get a weaving plot that doesn't interrupt the rest of the episode but it just fits in to the open spaced left between the rest of the story lines. This is one of my favorites.
Greg Quinn
A for me but close to S. On another day I may just go S.
Deep Red
I always enjoy these "Dear So-and-so" framing device episodes of television and it's about our favorite android. Not like a masterpiece by any means, but an incredibly enjoyable episode. And it's great to see the Chief finally given a good chunk of an episode.
Ryan Caulfield
Not quite an S-tier episode for me, but definitely an A for sure. I really like the B plot actually as well. Getting inside Data's head is welcome character development, and his holodeck scene with Dr. Crusher is iconic. And again, some great continuity callbacks.
Eric Wilson
You guys will love it probably s. It's a solid b for me...
Nerd's Gold
THE PLOT!!
Darin Wagner
This is an easy A for me.
Steve Krautkramer
I love the Romulan Admiral in this one! Chilling performance.
Keith S
A lot of character development in this one.
Phil Ken Sebben
A perfect S tier episode
Bob M
Solid A.
Collin Freeman
The B-plot with the Romulans indeed drops the grade, in my book. Keeping with just the Data A-plot would have kept this episode at a higher tier. Also, the actress playing Ambassador T'Pel is terrible. But I love the dancing lesson between Dr. Crusher and Data..
Jeffrey
The B plot almost drops it down from S to A
