It would be interesting to do a poll in relation to favorite star-trek character (TNG) and then cross-reference that to respondent’s job/career.
I bet there is a strong correlation between Data (the character) and a programmer.
What do you think the correlation to Riker, Picard, Worf would be?
- pgbovine 16y agoI bet there is a strong correlation between Data (the character) and a programmer. seems a tad cliched, don't you think? i'd bet that most people wouldn't want to self-associate with an emotionless android
- antipaganda 16y agoEmotionless? This proves that you're not a Data fan. He had tons of emotion.
- adestefan 16y agoData is too logical. I always prefer Geordi because he just figured shit out and made it work.
- gaius 16y agoData didn't really do much, he was just there as a foil to other characters. He was basically Scooby Doo (Wesley was Scrappy). Contrast to TOS where Spock was a fully developed character and an equal participant in the Kirk-McCoy-Spock trinity.
- thwarted 16y agoI disagree. The majority of the really good, well written episodes are about either Picard or Data. Picard and Data stories seriously advanced the plot of the TNG series, and had a greater influence on later episodes. Although, I do really like your comparison to Scooby Doo and Scrappy.
