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 don’t know, but I do have to applaud how they did Data. First few scenes were enjoyable, and when it got annoying I felt it was purposeful.
