10 Dumbest Things In Star Trek: Picard
3. No More Lore
Another bizarre thing about the first season is the total omission of Data's scheming twin Lore.
It's a story driven by the legacy of the Enterprise's android second officer and his lineage, and one that offers closure on another of TNG's recurring villains at the same time.
But there seems to be a very broad understanding of the term "dismantled" in Star Trek. B-4 is dismantled and ends up in a drawer at the Daystrom Institute at some point after Nemesis. However, a decade earlier, Lore is taken to bits off-screen in Descent, Part II, yet the final resting place of his parts is never discussed. It appears a massive oversight given that the first season of the show is about the daughters of Data and the synthetic community established by Alton Inigo Soong, but this one element is conspicuous by its very absence. Indeed It would be two seasons later that the personality would awaken within the golem installed at Daystrom Station, which still doesn't explain what happened to Lore after he was dismantled.
All the talk of androids in season one made for the opportunity to answer that question as one would have expected him to be in another drawer or just miraculously turn up and throw an additional hyperspanner in the mix.
