I tried finding a video clip of KOS MOS murdering Lieutenant Virgil (her team's ally) because it was 29% more efficient than walking ten feet to adjust her aim, but the best I could find didn't reach the scene until two minutes into the video.SaneAmongInsane said:So I'm FINALLY binge watching StarTrek. I'm well into the 2nd season, and we've established that Data is a sentient being and not a toaster.
Here's my problem, Data's whole deal is that he doesn't have emotions, right? So how is he not a muderous sociopath in a situation that makes being so the most prudent?
Anyway... yeah, your concerns about Data are actually valid. He does have an "ethics program" similar to Asimov's laws. However, it IS possible to turn those programs off....
NO! NO!!! Pulaski is not the true doctor! Crusher is One True Doctor!SaneAmongInsane said:on a sidenote: Anyone know what happened to Doctor Crusher in Season 2, did her actress want time off or something? Not that I'm complaining, I think Pulaski is a wayyyyy better doctor.
Ahem.
Anyway, the actress was being sexually harassed by the head director (or was it [producer? can't remember) of seasons 1 and 2. He got SO fired when it came to light (and the fact that he was doing all sorts of other nasty stuff) and replaced in season 3 (I think) by someone who wasn't a giant asshole.
Personally, I can't even watch seasons 1 and 2 because, under his leadership, they are so damn awful. Things get MUCH better in season 3.
For a more detailed version of the half-remembered stuff I just said, watch the season 1 and 2 reviews of SF Debris. ... actually, watch them anyway, because they're awesome.
