This aired on H&I not too long ago. A lot of people seem to famously remember this episode for its "Shut up, Wesley" lines.
But the one scene that i like this episode for is that Turbolift showdown that had occurred between "Data" and Worf (Lore in Data's uniform).
So... it's Worf and two, maybe three, security people following him down a corridor, which Worf enters and is surprised to find Lore waiting there. There is no time for Worf to react as Lore calls out "Emergency close!" instantly causing the doors to whoosh shut in the face of the security guys.
Mistake #1: Worf draws a phaser real fast. But Lore chops that thing out of his hand even faster and declares "Now show me your warrior fierceness," challenging to a hand-to-hand combat showdown.
Mistake #2: Instead of trying to call for help, calling for the doors to reopen, or even to reach for his phaser after the following action... he punches the hell out of Lore across the face! Lore's face turns to the side and looks at that side of the cab.
Mistake #3: After punching the hell out of Lore's face, and as Lore looks at the side panel, Worf wasted a perfectly-solid opportunity to recover the phaser and blast the hell out of Lore! But no... this is the mistake that costs him BIG TIME! Because Lore then punches the hell out of Worf's torso! Worf's knees buckle and he lets out a long howl of defeat and pain as he writhes in pain. I want to talk a bit more about this some more but i'll get back to this in a bit.
At the slightest hint of recovery or an attempt to recover is when Lore backhands a pain-rocked Worf across the face, sending him out of commission, cleaning his clock, and knocking him down for the count. LOL Moral of the story: if an android challenges you to a fight, DO NOT take him/her on or you're screwed! Just ask Worf who learned this lesson the hard way. Hilariously sad how Lore easily managed to take a Klingon down with just two hits.
Unfortunately, my Netflix is out and it'll be months before H&I will air "Datalore" again but someone did post this scene on YouTube but with Lore's "Are you prepared for the kind of death you've earned, little man?" line dubbed over the originally-silenced "Now show me your warrior fierceness," then with Worf saying no in response. Anyway, i keep watching that clip over and over to try and get a good look at where exactly Lore punched him the first time. It looks like Worf took the hit to the abdominal aorta... just below the chest cavity... but i can't 100% place it there as the bottom frame almost cuts it off there.
The film crew, as they were shooting that scene, probably did it that way because otherwise they would've had to have Brent Spiner actually punch Michael Dorn in the gut or it will look phony and they didn't want that and i understand that.
I actually took a punch or two to the abdominal aorta once and not only is it extremely painful but the pain lingers! So unfortunately, i know from experience how easily a hit to that area can easily take someone down and fast. But on a lighter note, I get a good laugh out of that long howl Worf bellows when he's punched. I love it! I never get tired of hearing it. In a way i feel for Worf but that is a funny fight scene. That scene is a guilty pleasure for me!
