(In contrast, my opinion of Star Trek: Picard has never been lower.) But as much as I’ve been watching each release with interest and amusement, I have to admit that I haven’t been having as much fun as I want to be having.

I’ve written extensively here on Fanbyte about my experience of watching Discovery, a show that I enjoy despite it being a frequently cringey experience, and I’ve warmed significantly to both Lower Decks and Prodigy since I reviewed their early episodes. It remains to be seen if Soji and Jean-Luc in Star Trek: Picard can form the bond that he and Data had, but if they do, it's something Data himself surely would have wanted.Since Star Trek returned to television in 2017, I’ve been mostly enthusiastic about the new generation of shows. Meanwhile, Soji could have the father figure and mentor in Picard whom she could truly trust. However, the glimmer of hope Kestra offered Soji that, if she wanted to, she and Picard could "have each other" in their lives, would mean that through Data's daughter, Jean-Luc could have his beloved friend back, in a way. For his part, Data never had to cope with the kind of emotional abuse that Soji has thanks to Narek, so Data never had to doubt his own reality. It was fascinating in Star Trek: Picard episode 7 how Soji's trauma and her realization that her life has been comprised of nothing but lies understandably caused her not to trust anyone she met, including the Troi-Rikers and Jean-Luc Picard himself. Afterward, she still clung, in vain, to the idea that she was really human.

Tragically, Soji had no idea she was an android until Narek's murder attempt activated her. Soji was also lied to and gaslighted by Narek, who convinced her that he loved her when what he really wanted was the buried information about the location of her homeworld.

However, Soji is indifferent to Sherlock Holmes and she can't play the violin, which were two of Data's hobbies. The two androids are also much stronger, can run faster, and jump higher than human beings, and are capable of defending themselves if need be, though Soji's (and Dahj's) combat skills are more formidable than what Trekkers saw from Data when he had to fight. Neither Data nor Soji are programmed to be malicious and Soji's caring for the Borg XBs on the Artifact echoes how Data was a loyal friend to his crewmates aboard Captain Picard's Starship Enterprise.

They also share the propensity to over-explain their knowledge, though Soji does it in a more natural and conversational way. But they both tilt their head when they find something curious and Bruce Maddox programmed Soji with the same incalculable amount of information that Data was equipped with. Data was often perplexed by human behavior while Soji now questions everything she thought she knew. As synthetics who are 'father and daughter', Data and Soji are indeed a lot alike, which includes both of them dealing with continual confusion, albeit different kinds.
