Well hopefully, by the 24 century, religion will be gone taking with it, marriage.

I AGREE!! B Spiner and Rick Bermen are both clueless about the Date character. I understand that Data did not become Lal just because he downloaded her memory. What I was saying is that Spiner and Bermen were pretty much driving the ship at the end of the last TNG movie and Spiner said he would be willing to bring data back threw B4. TOTALLY F***** up what they were trying to achieve with the character.

@AJoseph0007 Brent Spiner doesn't have a clue. Nor does he care to. B4 could never be Data, it flies in the face of everything they tried to achieve with the character. Was Data just a bunch of information that could be downloaded onto any computer? Was B4 not his own person? B4 is not Data, just as Data did not become Lal.

@123Nostradamus123 Data was not less perfect than Lore, that was drummed in quite hard in "Brothers". Data was evolving mild emotions as he went along. That was the whole point of his character, his emotional emergence dude to increase in neural net complexity, the whole emotion chip was a cheap story line and screwed up everything for him, his emotion chip, over rode aspects of who he was, Data became two different people. Turning them off and on at will.

I try to explain:

First his brother Lore was created, with full emotions. The problem was that Lore was megalomaniac because of his emotions. He thought he was much better, stronger etc. than humans and finally got dangerous to them. So Dr. Soong created a less-perfect android without emotions. Sometimes you might think that Data has mild emotions, but before he got the emotion chip it's not the case.

Sometimes he tries to imitate emotions to get more human..

It's messed up that he had to go in nemesis now he can't marry -..-

[xXRoBeRtXHaYdNXx]

This is what I don't get: Data states that he has no emotion, but when he speaks, he uses emotional inflection, stumbles over phrasing, and appears to use facial expressions of emotions. I think he's more like someone with very simple, mild emotions, who just cant understand more complicated or extreme emotions. why would they program an android with those characteristics? This would seem to be the opposite of helpful.

@AJoseph0007 True. The Picard in the movies is batshit crazy and reckless. Nothing like the Picard from the show.
