    Yes, I think the newer generation are. But there are several synths that were closer to Data. Like the Data-Soji who did the mind meld.

    The nerve pinch is somewhat feasible. The mind meld; Vulcans are kind of telepathic. How can a full synthetic (not a human-seeming one like Soji) acquire the biologic/telepathic capability to mind meld? And I caught the consciousness transfer thing. Does anyone want to take bets that this is...

    The synthetic teaching herself the Vulcan mind meld...yeah. Really bothered me...

    Wasn't Saavik a Romulan/Vulcan hybrid too?

    Yes, that made Lightning Bolt so much fun back in the day.

    I only watched the first part of the episode as I was getting ready for work this morning, but it seems like there may be another "Soji."

    From the previews of next week's episode, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

    I have to say that this is possibly my favorite episode so far. I really like how Picard and Soji are developing as characters, and Riker and Troi were both welcome as voices of compassion and reason. And the glimpses of this foretold disaster are interesting too...I am going to have to go back...

    How to tell the good/bad guys apart: look who's using Apple phones

    Well then, I am pleased to announce that I am very much a villain. I think Apple phones are over-priced pieces of plastic. It also tends to be the phone of choice for the self-indulgent, entitled idiots* of our generation. *Please note that I am not saying all iPhone users are self-indulgent...

    Yes, but it does sound like he calls her Angus at several points. So much so that my Closed Captioning for the episode even showed Angus.

    No, I don't think so... I rewatched the episode last night. The line being referred to is "We did it Angus, Soong and I and you." I still think that this is being misinterpreted. The way I see it, he's saying that they created artificial life; first Soong, then he and Agnes. I don't think...

    Now I'm going to have to go back and re-watch. It could also be a misinterpretation. Soong created twins (Lor and Data...well, there was also B4), and so did Maddox. This leaves an interesting question...could there also be three that Maddox made?

    I really enjoyed season 1. I thought the show had a lot of promise. Sadly, season 2 went downhill and I lost interest.
