Hard to pick a single one, but TNG 'Elementary Dear Data: Ship In A Bottle'

@SethGreene531 Have you seen Picard? They brought the same Moriarty actor back. Though he looked completely different.
@Gumba1000 Not yet, but Ive heard of it.
I'll have to see that!

Interesting they picked him. If memory serves, Moriarty's plight was never fully resolved. Good material for another episode.

Yeah, the actor would be quite old now. A quandry, since a holideck program wouldn't age🤔

@SethGreene531 He's only in it for a few seconds. It doesn't resolve his story. I don't want to spoil it for you, but also don't want to give you high expectations for when you see him again
@Gumba1000 oh I see. Well, I'm sure it's still a good watch.
Glad he made a cameo appearance, even if brief.

Is Data in the Picard series at all?
Gumba1000 · M
@SethGreene531 Data is in it yes. He's the best part. I didn't like the first two series's much. But I liked the 3rd which is the last one. It is much more like star trek than the other two. It's also the one when we get the old Data back.
@Gumba1000 Great! Always enjoyed Data. He made an episode intriguing!
Gumba1000 · M
@SethGreene531 Me too. Brent is the best actor imo. He has played all sorts of characters in it as well as different versions of Data.
@Gumba1000 Absolutely. Him and LeVar Burton.
The different incarnations of Data we're very well played. Especiallly when he went rogue.
Gumba1000 · M
@SethGreene531 He is good with his voice too. Different accents and mimicking others. Levar is good but not a candle to Brent imo
@Gumba1000 Good voice actor, many personas.

True, LeVar pales in comparison!

@SethGreene531 I think his character wasn't developed enough. And they made him look a drip
@Gumba1000 Yep. LaForge certainly needed to feature prominently in more episodes. The character deserved better plots, for sure.

@SethGreene531 I remember one episode he was saying he didn't know how to pick up women. He was in his 30s. It wasn't something to be done with his age. It should have been a Wesley story. If it was just him saying he's obsessed with the ship designer and wanted to take her to bed, that would have been more in keeping.
@Gumba1000 yeah thats an odd storyline for the cast, especially him. An afterthought scripted in by a writer perhaps, trying to fill out the episode.
Gumba1000 · M
@SethGreene531 Maybe. Or the comfort line of being yourself is best, being shoehorned in. It would have been better if they said "stop stalking women" ask them out and don't make holo fantasies about them
