In Theory
From: Kaelin Brons
Hey Trek TV!
As someone who married an android, i have a few things to say on this episode. My own android also plays beautiful music and has been programmed in multiple... techniques. Having been with him for half my life now, I feel confident saying that the subroutines that he has programmed to accommodate my presence are not very different from the way I had to learn to accommodate his presence and needs.
So what is this episode getting at? Androids can't make good husbands? Because I know they do. Star trek got that wrong. I think the problem with their relationship was the expectations that she had for data. She did not accept who he is. She said he doesnt truly care about her, but we know from other episodes that his version of caring is that his subroutines have become accustomed to someone's presence and he thinks about them when they're gone.
And in case you guys missed this, did you see the way Geordi grabbed Thorn's neck when he got tossed by the electrified work station? I think his first aid ticket may need updating.
