DataThis is KC, and for the month of June, Anomaly Supplemental turns its attention to Data of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Following Jen and Angela’s discussion of season two’s “The Measure of a Man,” Sue and I recorded an in depth character analysis of one of the most popular creations of the Star Trek universe.

We conversed about the evolution of the character over seven seasons and four films worth of material and explore the nuances of Data’s journey to become human. Other subjects mentioned include focus on Brent Spiner’s performance, behind-the-scenes trivia, and other facts that were provided via Memory Alpha. Also included are fantastic audio comments sent in by friends and fellow podcasters Angela (Anomaly Podcast), Meds (Waffle On, The Tipple Cast), Jen (Anomaly Podcast), and Rick (Take Him With You).
