The internet tells me... quote:Written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones, based on a story by screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman So it would seem that Data (who has usurped B-4's mind) could be Enterprise-E captain in this show.

Spiner returning in any form would be an extremely effective way to deflate most of the anticipation I had for the show.

Nessus posted:Is Spiner still fat? It would be hilarious to see him try to play Data at his age, considering that in Nemesis there are shots where you can see they're clearly using tape to pull back his neck droop, and that was seventeen years ago.

If he truly is on the show, then they'll probably handwave it away. Picard: "Data....you look....different." Data: "Yes sir, I have changed my appearance to more accurately represent the process of aging."

I get why Spiner got so much screentime, since he was the second-highest-paid actor on the show after Stewart so they wanted to get a return on their investment, but still ... God drat. (And then they let him have creative control on Nemesis.  )

I’d rather see Frakes stuffed into a XXXXL uniform for ten episodes than suffer through ten more minutes of Data/B4.

So will they just pretend nemesis didn't happen or will Spiner be technically playing B4 but he has all of data's memories and acts just like him

cheetah7071 posted:So will they just pretend nemesis didn't happen or will Spiner be technically playing B4 but he has all of data's memories and acts just like him quote:In the novels published by Pocket Books and set after Nemesis, Data returned in 2384 by having his memories and neural net transferred from B-4 into a new body which contained the memory engrams of Data's creator Doctor Noonien Soong after he was dying and being attacked by Lore years earlier. Data then takes control of the body after Soong deletes himself. After a tearful reunion with his old shipmates, Picard offers to reactivate Data's commission and to rejoin the crew but Data declines as he says he requires time. Several months later, with the help of the Enterprise crew, he is able to obtain the help necessary to resurrect his daughter, Lal.

Pick posted:Why tf did anyone care about Data he's boring Data had the potential to be genuinely interesting in seasons 1-2. At the start of the show he’s clearly capable of human emotion, he just doesn’t have a good grasp on it or human interactions. His arc could have been coming to terms with that, like an inverse Spock where he embraces emotion instead of struggling to suppress it. Instead, that’s all wiped clean in season 3 for beep boop what is humor poo poo. cheetah7071 posted:So will they just pretend nemesis didn't happen or will Spiner be technically playing B4 but he has all of data's memories and acts just like him It’ll probably be the latter.

Data will just have installed aging software on himself, it's absolutely something he'd do

Data is now played by a totally different actor, why not? Idris Elba

Wasn't there some comic where Data downloaded his consciousness into the Enterprise's computer and he was basically Max Headroom? I guess they could do that. Data is just the new computer voice and they holo-project his weird CGI head places when necessary.

So it's just Red Dwarf? The computer AI provides Geordi (who is all alone on his ship) a hologram of his dead crewmate so that he doesn't go crazy. All we need is for a hyper evolved Spot to join him...

Orv posted:I assume replicating a replicator is like putting a bag of holding inside another bag of holding. Maybe latinum is a key component of replicators. One could get some wacky economic theory out of most goods being limited by latinum for replicators over the the time it takes for a replicator to replicate normal items. Sash! posted:I just assume a lot of stuff falls into the "just because we can do it, doesn't mean we use that method." I figured that since they have those space pods with the arms on them, the ships come out of the industrial replicators like flat-pack furniture and the spacedock workers connect stuff and do quality control. The exception is cases like the Defiant, where they might be redesigning and replacing stuff constantly as real-world complications arise that didn't show up in the simulations.
