9. Data of Borg
The android, Data. Primitive artificial organism. You will be obsolete in the new order. These were the words spoken by Locutus, as the voice of the Borg in The Best of Both Worlds. Apparently the Borg have very poor memories; as, six years later, they intentionally captured Data and intended to make him equal to the Queen. Either that, or the word obsolete means something entirely different to the Borg. Data himself is nearly farcical in this film and one of the greatest points of discontinuity. Aside from the Borgs sudden interest in something they find obsolete the fact that he can suddenly turn his emotion chip on and off completely negates the fact that in the previous film it was fused to his neural net and was impossible to remove or deactivate. Still, if we assume that he has repaired this since
Generations, there is the matter of the Borgs inability to crack Datas encryption of the
Enterprise computer. If he is obsolete, then the Borg, a superior cybernetic life form must be able to outdo him, right? I mean the Borg dont suffer from ego do they?
