I found this episode to be similar to that of the Dollhouse. Data is very much like the actives in the sense that they are all basically robots. The actives act like robots and Data is a robot. STNG called to attention the importance of life. Dollhouse did not value human life by changing a human into a zombie-like being.
In my opinion, I thought the episode of Star Trek I watched was better than STNG. I liked how the original star trek used an episode of history and incorporated it into the episode. I would not know much about the Clantons and Earps if it wasn't for the episode I watched. With that said, I did not feel like I learned anything from STNG which was a turn off. I did notice that the plots seem to be pretty relevant and timely even though they were made so long ago. I have to give kudos to the writers for that.

I agree with you the episode was a lot like Dollhouse. They made me question the characters morality. I think that the characters in STNG made the right decision in letting Data go.
ReplyDeletekudos? really mack. haha. Anyway, I like your comparison to Dollhouse. Once again you successfully related a different Sci-fi series back to your tv favorite series, Dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteWhen you said "Dollhouse did not value human life," it sounds like how data was treated on the ship, he wasnt valued as a robot or human at all.
