      The timing of the replacement is always interesting, especially when it’s Data. I swear the replacement is already in motion when they discuss Data leaving his post.

      Your response reminds me, though. Who is the science Ensign in Best of Both Worlds? She’s in both episodes, and only those two, I think. She’s not on the list of characters on Memory Alpha, as far as I can tell. Long blonde hair. At one point she checks on Riker after he is knocked to the floor. She’s in the background of this picture, for example.

        This is a guess, but maybe she was one of those walk-on part contest winners. And maybe she didn’t want her name publicized.

      The science II station is better off without his meddling. Federation ships have to be the most frustrated AIs in the galaxy. They built them super smart, able to program living beings out of micro force-fields in their holodecks and yet these guys insist on keeping around a dozen touch screen buttons to push, chips to re-arrange and manually do calculations…
