Hopefully my image selection doesn’t show by bias. But seriously, I don’t think either is “better” - they approached it two different ways.

Data got the emotion chip, but had to learn how to use them. We saw that all on-screen.

Android got the emotion chip upgrade (which also seemed to come with the requisite control software) and was able to hit the ground running.

    I love Geordi’s horror at realizing Data now gets every joke he’s ever heard and may feel the need to retell them.

    I haven’t seen Dark Matter so I have no opinion on this question, other than the answer is always Star Trek.

      Dark Matter was an okay show. It had potential and reminded me more of Firefly with shades of Farscape and Andromeda.

      Overall it wasn’t that great. Each season was worse than the previous. Only lasted 3 seasons.

      If you look it up, this is Dark Matter 2015, not Dark Matter 2024 which is a completely different show by the looks of it.

        The first season of Dark Matter is awesome… but hey didn’t get the ratings that the studio required and halfway through season 2 you can see the quality drop as they try to make it work and season 3 is forgettable, sadly. I really enjoyed the first viewings

          Yeah. It wasn’t bad and the cast was mostly good. However it just lacked something. I kept watching it hoping I would get invested but I never did.

        If you look it up, this is Dark Matter 2015, not Dark Matter 2024 which is a completely different show by the looks of it.

        Dark Matter (2015) is based on a short-run comic series. Dark Matter (2024) is an adaptation of an entirely unrelated novel that just happens to have the same title.
