They killed Data? Why did they do that? Along with Picard, he was about the only member of that crew I didn't want to see eaten to death by those in-the-ear bugs from Wrath of Khan.

IMO Star Trek in general is a bit crap. Bits of Voyager and TNG were good, bits of DS9 were exceptional, but all the rest is pretty much worthless. (Havne't seen any of the latest series yet. Can't be bothered.)

Anyway, Data was one of the very few redeeming features of the Trekoverse. True, they handled the emotion chip poorly in the films, and OK, he probably should have been killed after that. So I guess there's nothing for me to whinge at after all. I think I'll shut up...

BTW: Little known Trek trivia- did you know that Patrick Stewart is a huge fan of the terrifyingly brilliant Transmetropolitan?
