/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Hopefully my image selection doesn't show by bias. But seriously, I don't think either is "better" - they approached it two different ways.
Data got the emotion chip, but had to learn how to use them. We saw that all on-screen.
Android got the emotion chip upgrade (which also seemed to come with the requisite control software) and was able to hit the ground running.
They really were quite different.
Data never had emotions. He tried to understand and fake them as he could, but without feeling it, could never get there.
Android on the other hand had emotions, just not the human like mannerisms to fully express them.
So when they got their modifications, their reactions were quite different. Data finally experienced the emotions he was always chasing for. While Android was finally able to fully express what she always felt.
They're both interesting stories. I guess I enjoyed Android's more. Data became kind of annoying until he got the hang of things.
That's a good way to differentiate their capacities for emotion: Android could experience but not express, while Data could express but not experience. Their respective chips allowed them to do both.
Seconded, exactly this.
Justice for Dark Matter, Android was precious!
I love Geordi's horror at realizing Data now gets every joke he's ever heard and may feel the need to retell them.
I haven't seen Dark Matter so I have no opinion on this question, other than the answer is always Star Trek.
Dark Matter was an okay show. It had potential and reminded me more of Firefly with shades of Farscape and Andromeda.
Overall it wasn't that great. Each season was worse than the previous. Only lasted 3 seasons.
If you look it up, this is Dark Matter 2015, not Dark Matter 2024 which is a completely different show by the looks of it.
The first season of Dark Matter is awesome... but hey didn't get the ratings that the studio required and halfway through season 2 you can see the quality drop as they try to make it work and season 3 is forgettable, sadly. I really enjoyed the first viewings
Yeah. It wasn't bad and the cast was mostly good. However it just lacked something. I kept watching it hoping I would get invested but I never did.
If you look it up, this is Dark Matter 2015, not Dark Matter 2024 which is a completely different show by the looks of it.
Dark Matter (2015) is based on a short-run comic series. Dark Matter (2024) is an adaptation of an entirely unrelated novel that just happens to have the same title.
Just goes to show how the pirated version is always better
I don’t know, but I do have to applaud how they did Data. First few scenes were enjoyable, and when it got annoying I felt it was purposeful.
