He’s Already More Human Than Human

Positively Trek 266: He’s Already More Human Than Human Data: Part One When Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered in 1987, Star Trek fans were given an entire new cast of characters to love. One character in particular proved to be extremely popular: the sentient android, Lt. Commander Data. In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan continue their series on the characters of Star Trek by highlighting our favourite automaton. We talk about his introduction, compare him to TOS’s Spock, and discuss the impact his character had on us and on the rest of Trek fandom. There is a lot to talk about with regards to Data, so this is just part one of a two-part exploration of his character.
