no, not in combat, as data would clearly win.

its just that neither enterprise would have lasted long without these eggheads to come up with a genius idea and save the day.

not that i agree that spock is better, i found this quite ammusing:

..And The Top 10 Reasons Why Mr. Spock Is Better Than Mr. Data

10. In Star Trek V, Spock actually flew.

1. Spock doesn't have an off-switch

I can't even begin to describe how lame that list was. Not because I like Data more than Spock, but because 98% of them were just superficial differences.

Loved this one: Data's home world was destroyed by a giant snowflake; Spock's homeworld is a leading member of the Federation.

Data's still cooler.

My favorite would be spock

The better problem solver would be Data

Data is and Android endevering to become mor human while bringing out the best in the Enterprise's crew. I thought it a neat touch that Before (B4) in Nemesis replaced Data at the end. Personally, Data is a much more lovable, and better understood character who's informative overtalking is key to his success.

"I have encoded the bridge computer with a Fractal encryption code. It is unlikely the Borg will break it" Data - First Contact

"It appears to be a robotic arm." Data - Nemesis

"Oh shit!" Data - Generations

"Lock and load." Data - Insurrection

"Captain, I believe that would be illogical." Spok - Original Series

Spok is a rather redundant character whos most memorable lines end with illogical. Or fastinating while Data is trying to become human, Spok is trying to distance himself from his heritage. It is such in Star Trek VI where he goes to Vulkan with Docter (Bones) M'coy. Anyway if I had to choose, having watched both series's. Data is better.

its meant to be humorous, as it obviously doesnt pretend to be a serious assessment (painfully obvious)

Spock ftw.

I was well aware of them when I called it lame.

Spock has bangs - LOLOLOLOZ!!!!11

Data has comic relief and can sing... and use computers super-fast!

however data's programming can be tampered with and is thus potentially deadly to his entire crew as we often have seen:

TbUHxL2Q6jA

so while i think data is far superior to spock, imho spock would be the safer bet.

That was like one episode. And because Lore was involved.

I don't know what was going on in the end there in Insurrection, I think it is, but I vaguely remember his reason being valid.

Overall i would go with Spock, he is my favorite but from watching various episodes i believe he would be more practical to the crew then data.

Data would win...as he taught Q.

well thats a bit misleading since he only instructed q on how to deal with humans on a social level, if im not mistaken..

it was a light hearted pro-data reason...sort of to match that 100 reasons for Spock list.

Q did anoint him "professor of humanities"

oh ok

28. Spock is at his coolest when he hides his human emotions--Data is at
his goofiest when he tries to show his.


Doesn't this one kind of cancel itself out?

21. Spock has chest hair.
