Mine is that Discovery should have been a series taking place in the Picard era.

    Measure of a Man is legally and philosophically nonsense. It doesn’t grapple with any of the history of questions around consciousness, and there has got to be dedicated JAG officers on the Enterprise who are better equipped to handle the case.

      I’m 100% with you on this one. Riker takes off Data’s arm and turns him off and that judge is like “you make a good point!”

      Get Crusher in there to put her in a coma and amputate her arm and see how inhuman she feels.

          Especially when you can just stick a hypo to their neck with some kind of future stimulant that apparently has little to no side effect.

        Everyone except that ass scientist who made a case that Data isn’t a person was faking being convinced and/or being convincing. To prevent the ruling from being overturned.

      How about the position they put Riker in? “You will prosecute this case and you will do a good job of it and if you don’t I’ll immediately rule in favor of the prosecution.”
