@burntvalve86 Me too, but then a part of me wonders if he really meant it. He is a manipulator after all. I want to believe he meant it, because he did feel something for his father. Earlier in the episode where he was getting mad at him, Soong tells him he's dying and he freaks out, saying "You look fine!" over and over again, as though trying to will it to stop happening. Then he kills him at the end of that scene above in a fit of rage. Sometimes I just don't get him.
@LittleRetroChick I know, he is!! Yet extremely fascinating, and with an emotional backstory. There's a fanfiction, can't remember what site it's on, called Hidden Evil I believe, and if it were complete I swear it could be cannon. It starts from Lore first being activated onward, and at first he's as innocent as Data!! Then the colonists hate him for what he is, and he becomes bitter and depressed, and prone to violent outbursts. It's fantastic, anyway! :D
I always felt sorta sorry for Lore. I mean her did go through alot throughout the series. Don't get me wrong, I understand all the horrible things he did, but there were times when I could understand his motives.
it must have been very difficult for Brent Spiner to play two completely different characters like that. Switching from being a completely emotionless Data to Lore, who is just filled with sarcasm and anger. Even the way they move is so different. Hes a wonderful actor.
@BethVidz Descent, and Lore sort of lead an army of individualized Borg and brainwashed Data to betray Starfleet and to perform a dangerous operation on Geordi involving converting an organic brain to a positronic brain.
My favorite scene is when they first activate him, he looks up and smiles and says, "You may call me Lore." It's so cynical. Spiner captured it perfectly. He's an amazing actor.
@moongirl786 So what if he killed a planet, he still needed a trial! Not just instant death sentence, and in the 24th century, humans have abolished the death sentence, so he shouldn't have been dismantled. If he had been an organic life form it would have been a different story.
@TheAtheistFuture That's a good point, if he had been organic it would have been different. Reminds of the episode from season 2 I believe where there is a trial to debate if Data should be treated as an equal being. I remember being incredibly incensed that they would even need to call that into question! :)
@moongirl786 Yes, that's what i mean, they went to the trouble of an entire episode to establish that these androids are sentient life forms only to have it completely dismissed some seasons later.
Would love to see you add the bit where Data and Lore are quarelling in "brothers" and data is repeating "I am NOT less perfect than lore" and then lore gives him sass about it and they are ordered to sit down!
Wow-thanks! I'm in the process of writing a Lore fanfic, and this is great for using to see his manerisms and whatnot in a quick reference kind of way!
