I think we've all had days at work where we just kind of look at each other and shrug and laugh and just say fuck it and shake our heads and go through the motions and go home. This seems like one of those days. Spiner basically typed up a TPS report with every box checked and then sent it to the whole company without a description.

Brent Spiner's effort in this episode is palpable. I think this whole episode is mostly just a weak excuse to give him some screen time playing a schizophrenic mixture of everything he's otherwise never allowed to do.

I get why this one is not liked, but for some reason I always kinda dug it. Here are some great quotes from Brent Spiner about it though!
"The episode we did where I play the 5 characters is an episode called ‘Masks’... I do some of the most preposterous acting you’ve ever seen in your life in it. I mean, the other actors were laughing in my face at some of the characters I was doing. There was a point, when we finally got to the end of [the episode], Patrick and I were in masks and facing one another at 2 o’clock on Saturday morning. He was playing the god of the sun and I was the goddess of the moon. We couldn’t get through the scene. We were laughing at each other so much that the crew hated us because they wanted to go home! But we couldn’t control it.”
He also described this as one of the “very worst acting” experiences for him, in terms of how difficult the schedule and the demands of playing multiple personalities were.

See? Sub Rosa is definitely better than this episode. At least McFadden, Frakes and the production team TRIED to make Sub Rosa entertaining. No one was trying here.
