10 Reasons Why Data Was A Dangerous Threat To The Enterprise
1. Lore Exists
If there’s one point we’ve really hammered today, it’s that Lore is irrevocably evil. The in-universe explanation for this is that Lore’s ethical subroutines are malfunctioning. Whatever the reason for it, Lore just likes to be a prick.
He also looks like Data. He sounds like Data. He possesses both Data’s unmatched strength and impressive computational speed. He’s been known to impersonate Data. And, even Data’s and Lore’s creator couldn’t tell the two androids apart.
Lore represents a clear and present danger to the entire crew of the Enterprise. That is an undeniable truth that is crazy to ignore.
The fact that Lore never sneaked aboard, deactivated Data, stole his uniform, commandeered the ship, and flew it straight into Borg space is pure, dumb luck really.
