I still think these images make Nero look like REM’s Michael Stipe… :)

Every major character in Star Trek that died (1. not counting Tasha Yar, 2. ex. Spock, Jadzia, Kirk…) left something (a hope he would return, if you will) behind.
We can as well accept that Data, like Jadzia isn’t coming back in the form we know him.
Too bad.
What about Wesley.
I know it’s off topic, but I would really like to know what are Paramount’s plans with him…
Is he going to save Kirk or something, or at least help Spock travel back through time, or save Data for that matter…

NEMESIS is rubbish, yes. But what they’re clearly trying to do with the Data/B4 plot is create a sense in which Data reproduces, so that he can leave something *of* himself that is not his whole self behind when he goes.

That’s what human beings do, generally speaking. We’re born, we live, we die and we leave someone who is a lot like us but not us behind by reproducing. B4 is the last bit of Data’s human jigsaw, the final piece of his succesful quest to become human. The film completely muffs it, but that’s the idea..

I agree that Data’s death would have been more poignant without the B4 storyline, but IMO, the thing that needed to be seen is the deleted scene with Geordi and Worf cleaning out Data’s quarters and showing all the things that Data had held onto over the years and ending with Geordi picking up the emotion chip and Spot jumping into Worf’s arms. That and get a different actor for Shinzon. Seriously, did anyone buy that guy as a younger Patrick Stewart? I thought not.

Anyway, I’m really intrigued about these comics now.

Starfleet was never that mad about Data anyway. At the start of TNG he had been in Starfleet for 26 years and had only got to Lt. Commander/2nd Officer/Ops Officer, granted on the Federation Flagship. But he stayed in THAT role for, what, 14 years before becoming a Commander/1st Officer. Whatever you think of Data’s manner of death or the obvious way they could bring him back, I seriously doubt Starfleet would just shrug and let an inferior/older version step into his shoes, no matter that B4 had Data’s memories and every upgrade Geordi could throw at him after 14 years’ experience of patching Data up. It’d be nice if there’d been a TNG film showing how in fact such a set of circumstances would arise whereby he DID regain his position, however Search For Spockish it was – but it was not to be. But to just assume that such a thing had in fact happened to help promote a new film which has little/nothing to do with TNG, why, that’d be as thoughtless as making one of the sequel shows’ finales all about TNG. Oh, wait. . .

I thought Data disintegrated, but perhaps I’m wrong.

Anyway, IMO Data is gone fo-eva.

They just need to find Data’s head in the wreckage a la Times Arrow and attach it to B4’s body. Not my idea, but if they have to bring Data back then that’s the best way I’ve heard for doing it, IMHO

To be honest, at least in regard to Data’s uniform, it very well could be yellow because if you look at the picture, everything is red.
