Robots ep. missing something


How are you gonna make an episode about artificial intelligence, and not include Data?! For shame!

Still, even with that glaring omission, that was a good show.

Not really an omission as all the facets of Data had been covered in the other parts in the program and had all been done before The Next Generation. The superior intellect aspect was covered in the segment on HAL. The friendly robot aspect covered with C3PO and the emotional aspect in Supertoys last all summer long which later became A.I.

Data is still a great character that encompassed all of these facets but the program wanted to focus on each aspect individually and the origins of those aspect in science fiction, hence the title of the program.
