Gonna be a bit AFK again this month. Moving back to Newfoundland and this shit is expensive and time consuming. Will be posting updates and stuff to Mastodon and over on /c/Stamets <3

Thinking about it, maybe they could have done a Doctor Who thing and wrote reasons for him to need to transplant his brain into a new body and got new actors to play the role. Could have been interesting to have Data pop up in far future stories.
Or just get actors who look similar enough to Spiner. They’ve done it with any number of other characters.
Yeah, but the body swapping would give them a bigger pool of possible talents. They could also play with swapping gender and race and what that would mean for an android.
Also, imagine a five thousand or five million year old Data “thinking” himself to the point he has Q level power. “Adult” humans stop changing or maturing at adulthood. Or rather children change more easily then adult. Data’s struggle was starting in a relatively stable mental state and learning to change over time. What if the ability to change never stops? Never settles in?
The actor swap wouldn’t just be a convince for callback, but a real foundation to discuss scifi/social concepts.
