I think it was Q himself that made him say that. He has that power.
Who's The Best Person?
- Thread starter Mojochi
- Start date
Data, for many of the reasons already stated. I always felt that he was written as being more "human" than the humans.
I couldn't say better
Oh yes, that'd be possible ! The Q is everywhere......
I would have to go with the popular choice of Data. He’s made choices that are for the betterment of others, even if there are big risks involved. He clearly goes out of his way to do good and make sacrifices for his friends and fellow officers. He doesn’t pick the choices a regular computer would select, because he is a sentient conscious being. He knows right from wrong and he almost always chooses to do what’s right.
Picard is an amazing captain, but he’s not a warm person and that is a real issue for me. He does make choices that are right and always has his team in mind, but he is so closed off and has shut everyone out emotionally. How good can a person be without having the need/capacity to have others in your life? If this is just based on the choices a person makes, yes he probably is up there with Data as most good, but if it’s about who a person is as a whole, I can’t say that.
Geordi is a good one too. He’s definitely the most relatable when it comes to his choices. He always has good intentions and makes a point to help out others, but like many of us he isn’t perfect.

Geordi's an all around good guy. I guess his main flaw is that he's pretty short & difficult with people who he has opposing perspectives with, Scotty, Leah Brahms, the Exocomp lady. He's just not very empathetic or able to see things from the other guy's point of view. It took that warp field lady killing herself before he finally realized how unreceptive he is to anyone else's alternate mindset. (Which was a good scene for him imho, when he admitted that)
Who knows, maybe this is why he has such a hard time landing a steady girlfriend. That date with Cristy Henshaw went all wrong because he hadn't considered her at all, like he was trying to program a date with somebody
That’s a good point. I block out those episodes because I like him so much! It’s hard to see that side of him. I like it more when I’m watching him help Data navigate life and being kind. But it definitely gives him more depth as a character to see him being so stubborn.
I think in order of goodness I would say my top five are:
Data
Picard
Geordi
Bev
Worf (goodness by Klingon culture standards)
Oh man, by Klingon standards, he's practically human. I actually figure they'd see his sensibilities as a weakness. Geez, an average Klingon would've killed all of them by now lol
