I don't think he liked being naked though.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x10 - "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Certainly a recurrent theme in Trek.
Yeah, what the heck did that have to do with the rest of the season? The whole time they were on that kick, I was thinking "wait, where did this come from? Did I miss something?"
Yes. Yes you did. Many things, apparently.
Right from the beginning with that doctor telling Picard he was dying before he went into space. Picard chose to go out facing death quick instead of trying to not die as slow as possible on earth.
Not sure what the "lesson" was. They just happened to have reconstructed Data's Katra. He was living in the Katric Arc but he seemed to have wanted what Vampires call, the true death. Why they had Data's katra is not clear. B4 was dis-assembled in a drawer back on Earth. So apparently there is a 2nd, separate copy of DataKatra just sitting there. Not because they wanted to bring him back, because Soong wanted that body for himself. It was just there on the shelf for no apparent reason except to give Data and Picard the goodbye they didnt get before.
Clearly, in the 24th Century, dying on a daily basis, is just something people do, like SEX.
Some may even do it multiple times a day.
(and actually enjoy it)

That moment when you realize that Brent Spiner's Data lasted for almost 33 years between his first and last appearance while William Shatner's Kirk lasted about 29-1/2 from the filming of "WNMHGB" to the theatrical release of GEN.
Didn't Agnes say way back that they downloaded the D/data in B4 because he couldn't handle it and was shutting down?
I'm sure that was a big reason why he wanted to die
I know I'd rather die than live on as a consciousness in a box.
The Professor Moriarty hologram did describe his existence stored inside the Enterprise-D holodeck computer as, if my memory serves, a long void punctuated by moments of terrified awareness. Data's existence inside Maddox's computer may have been a long and dull existence for him even if it didn't feel like almost 20 years in human time.
That raises the question, did Data know that B4 was dying/died?
My biggest regret of the season is Hugh's death.
Not that it was bad or wrong. It was a valid dramatic choice. I just wouldn't have done it.

The adventure saved his life. And no more artificial heart.
Must be really weird seeing your dead body though.
