Star Trek’s Next Show May Have Data at Starfleet Academy (Without Brent Spiner)

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy May have its own version of Data, but Brent Spiner’s beloved Android may also appear in Star Treks next series? Created by executive producers and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Naga Landu, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Reopens the school responsible for graduating Starfleet legends like Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). Starfleet Academy is set in the 32nd century And picks up once more Star Trek: DiscoveryWhich ended with season 5.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 was an intergalactic search for the ancient technology of the Progenitors, which seeded countless worlds with human life. To find the treasure of the progenitors, Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the USS Discovery deciphered a series of clues left behind since the 24th century. in Star Trek: Discovery In the Season 5 premiere, Burnham, Cleveland Booker (David Ajala) and Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) have found an Android named Fred (J. August Brown), who is shot and deactivated by L’ak (Elias Toufexis) and Moll (Eve Harlow). Fred’s time in Star Trek: Discovery Was short, but he may have a future in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy can have its own data

Song-type androids don’t grow on trees

Fred was a synthetic who worked as a fence on the planet Q’Mau when he was introduced Star Trek: Discovery’sEason 5. A Soong-type android with the serial number AS0572Y, Fred was part of the population of synthetics created by Dr. Altan Inigo Soong (Brent Spiner) on the planet Coppelius in Star Trek: Picard. Fred survived for hundreds of years before his fateful run-in with Mol and L’Ac. The dormant Fred is brought aboard the USS Discovery Where the android was examined by Commander Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) and Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz).

Star Trek: Discovery Never reactivated Fred, but the Data-like android could find a new life in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. A Soong synthetic could be very valuable to Starfleet Academy in several ways. A revived Fred, who could be reprogrammed to no longer be a criminal mover of goods, could serve as an instructor at Starfleet Academy. Or Fred could be an unusual mentor for the cadets. even deactivated, Fred could be useful to future starfleet engineers Who want to learn the intricacies of synthetic and positronic technology.

Could Brent Spiner’s data appear in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy?

Data’s mortality changed in Star Trek: Picard

While Fred could be a fun addition to the cast of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Star Trek Fans would be even more delighted if Brent Spiner reprized Data again – but could that happen? Unfortunately, by Star Trek: Discovery32nd century, Data would be long dead. After being rebuilt with a new synthetic body, with the personalities of Lore, B-4, and Lal (Hallie Todd) merged into his brain, Data is given the gift of mortality by Dr. Altan Song. Data will grow old. and die (of natural causes) as of Star Trek: Picard Season 3, and it’s doubtful that Data will survive another 790 years Discoverys distant future.

however, Data can always appear as a hologram, In flashbacks, or at least some other science fiction shenanigans. If Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Needs the services of Brent Spiner, he may be willing to reprice Data again. Star Trek Fans are hoping for Spinner to return as Data IF Star Trek: Picards proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy, Happens. But with the return of data, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy May have the next best thing in Fred. after all, Star Trek Missing a certain positronic spark without a yellow-eyed android.
