Ro, Mainly because Preemptive Strike is a very underrated episode and she finally realized where she belonged. Sito was good too, but that was dang depressing.
Which Character Had the Best Sendoff in Season 7?
- Thread starter Farscape One
- Start date
I said Ro, for one thing, she was played by the most talented actress of them all, by a great deal.
Lore's end is just stupid. After all the fuss about Data being a sentient being and his daughter and the exocomps... They treated Lore like a defective mechanism!!! Talk about inconsistency!!!
Ro and Sito to me. With Sito that episode made me care about this side character. I wasn't all that into the episode that disgraced her and the others. I didn't look to care about her either. Those episodes were the most poignant. And of course Q. I think they did better than the actual main cast. I don't think Wesley made out too bad either considering how hated he was/is.
Except that the Federation doesn't have the death penalty (with maybe the exception of the Talosian thing) so if any sapient being had done what Lore did, he would have been judged and imprisoned but not taken apart!!! Can you imagine that? If the Federation had sanctioned taking someone apart??? NO Data made a mockery of his own trial by treating lore AND B4 like mere mechanisms. But that's the franchise for you, no consistency.
But what is the point of cleaning her record if it takes her life? Living somewhere with disgrace might've been better.
Arguably he was trying to stop an ongoing threat by the only means available. Kivas had just threatened to kill an undetermined number of people until Data complied with his wishes. It's a form of indirect self-defense, admissible in some countries. If you see someone about to kill someone else, you're allowed to kill them (if it can be proven that there are no other means) in order to stop them.
He was paralyzed. He could have been taken into custody in order to be judged. Instead, he was just taken apart like some kitchen appliance.
Yeah, Janeway making an alliance with the Borg is a doozie!! Imagine her justifying that in a tribunal.
I suppose it’s down to the individual. She gave her life so that millions would not die in another pointless conflict. That, for me, was a much better redemption arc and send off than Ro sticking a phaser into Rikers face.
Maybe Lore was taken into custody? Data only said "Lore, I must deactivate you now." He didn't mention taking him apart. Data just clicked the on/off switch?
I don't see why Sito needed to redeem herself. Personally, I don't like what they did to her. Picard should have left her alone, if he had she might still be alive and better treated than the way she was on the Enterprise.
Picard: "Yeah, we've treated you like dirt the whole time but that's not really how we felt about you, now die for us..."
I believe they said later that he was dismantled. I don't think I made that up, that's not what I do.
Then it could be possible that later Lore was found to be quilty enough to be put into pieces.
You watched a different episode to me then.
When was the last time a human being has been dismantled by the federation?
Every time they go through the transporter.
And, come on, disassembling Lore isn't killing him any more than pushing his off switch. I both case he's deactivated, just in the latter state it's more work to turn him back on. The bigger question is dos Starfleet/the Federation have the right to "deactivate" anyone?
