[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] As for bringing Data back… look, this was always going to happen, WOULD have happened, if there’d been a fifth TNG movie. And the likely method for that - his memory engrams either overwriting or merging with B-4’s, well, you can debate the merits of that, and the ethics too (especially if you fall on one side of the Tuvix debate). This, though, feels better somehow? For one thing it nicely sidesteps the fact that B-4 was a really rubbish plot point to begin with, and having a full Data running on older less-sophisticated hardware platform stretches credibility as well. And it really wouldn’t be a problem if this wasn’t the third season and in every previous one they hadn’t, as Spike says, found a way to incorporate Spiner in each. Two different Soongs was ridiculous; if I had to pick between Adam and Alton to just keep one… I’m not sure I could. Alton didn’t need to be there, he could have been anyone, human or android; on the other hand, the whole Adam thing was stupid and contrived. Data’s presence in s1, as a dream figure, was fine and if they’d left it at that there’d be no problem. The coda where Picard gets to say goodbye to his Data was sweet though, again a bit contrived in how it was able to happen but still it gave the necessary closure. So I’m not sure how I feel NOW. Is that cheapened by them bringing Data (as part of DataLoreB4)? Or did it serve its dramatic purpose, to get Picard over the guilt that a friend sacrificed himself for him, leaving him to fully embrace whatever this new Data is? [/QB][/QUOTE]
