I noticed that someone on this board recently described themselves as like Commander Data from Star Trek. Very able intellectually but struggles emotionally and socially. It was something like that and I can't remember who wrote it.
But I thought Commander Data was a good metaphor for how I feel and behave- able intellectually but struggles emotionally and socially. Does anyone else feel like that? Data was my favourite character in Star Trek, this must be why!
I liked Data as a character. And I liked the paradoxical nature of him, because on the one hand he supposedly doesn't have emotion, yet he wished to feel emotion, which, could be argued is a sort of emotion in itself.
Yes, I can never understand that about androids etc. Why on earth do they want to feel emotions and be human? Surely being an android is far superior and easier.
That's basically what the Borg queen said in First Contact.....yes, I am a big fan of Star Trek :D
My favourite Star Trek film too.
Definitely my favourite. I know Enterprise wasn't brilliant but I like how they tied in the result of first contact and how the Enterprise first met them on the neutral zone too....I think first contact was so good none of the other next gen movies really had a chance.
