[DISCUSSION] In TNG's "The Most Toys" (s3e22), did Data lie about firing the disruptor?
(lemmy.world)
Episode premise:
Kivas Fajo is determined to add the unique Data to his prized collection of one-of-a-kind artefacts and, staging Data's apparent death, he imprisons him aboard his ship.
We know that Data is later logically coerced to lie in "Clues" to protect the crew, but this appears to be a decision all his own. Or did he not in fact actually fire the weapon?
I believe that Data has it in him to make that decision, I'm mostly calling out the ambiguity of the scene as it played out. And yeah, Tony met a gruesome but earned end.
