The Soong Family: Part 2 – Discussion

Star Trek: From the Holodeck is a fan broadcast dedicated to breaking down, analyzing and discussing all things Star Trek. 

This week Mike and Dave start the Holodeck’s discussion on the Soong family.

Topics Discussed:

• Using the TNG episode ‘Birthright’ as a platform, we dive back into Soong.
• This episode highlights Data’s bond with his father — a man that he had only met once and yet through Data, he lives on.
• The symbolism behind Data’s ability to dream and what it means.
• In the end this was more of Soong’s design – his legacy– to continue to assist Data in his journey through self discovery and life.
• How does all of this work with the restructuring of canon due to Star Trek Picard?
• and More.
