I think Data would disagree. He said he found Maddox work intriguing, he just didn’t feel he was ready yet.
Maybe he's working with Data's "mother"? She and her android replacement did work directly with Dr. Soong and were genius cyberneticists in their own right.
But Data was blown into tiny, tiny bits when he used the holy hand phaser to destroy Scimitar's thalaron generator.
Lore will not be appearing in Picard. Moving on ... Edit: Hold up... Tricky. Hmmm.... Gotta go with Lore. Was never a fan.
It's too bad that B4 was a malfunctioning piece of garbage and Data's memory dump was lost. I wonder where Dahj/Soji's creator got their (at least single) piece of Data's neural net to make them?
Tuvix. I'm still annoyed at that episode. When Tuvix said that Tuvok & Neelix live on in him, Janeway should have thrown it back in his face and said that he'll live on in them once they're restored.
His body was yes, he may have had a backup plan beyond B4 as he must have known that B4's positronic matrix was not advanced enough and came up with an alternative.
The song is very meh though. The visuals are fine but the song does nothing for me. All the others have memorable tunes and this just sounds bland.
