LT. CMDR. DATA
Originally Played By: Brent Spiner
Wishful Casting: Dichen Lichman
I always thought the character of Data would have really worked better as a female. The different energy that is directed at a female artificial human would have been totally different than the way characters interacted with the male designated android. For that role I think Dichen Lachman would be perfect and anyone who saw her play a cavalcade of different personalities on the short-lived Joss Whedon show DOLLHOUSE would have to agree with me. She was the best actress on the show and overshadowed Eliza Dushku at every turn. An added bonus is that women tend to not age as harshly and fast as men so there would not be that unfortunate case of a very noticeable middle-aged Brent Spiner playing an ageless android to have to deal with.

I kept trying to figure out where I had seen Dichen Lachman and it finally dawned on me: she played Suren the would-be vampire queen of Boston on the US version of Being Human. It’s a small world after all/It’s a small, small world.

I liked her on Being Human…wish her storyline had been extended some.

A new series call “Lineage” should be the focus featuring the kids all the series with a new Captain Wesley Crusher, a 2nd in command Nog, an undercover journalist/section 31 operative Jake Sisko, whose sister displays powers related to the wormhole aliens, Alexander, son of Worf who finally becomes the kickass Klingon he was meant to be, Chief O’brien’s kid Soshi and Icheb as well as Naomi Wildman and Bellana and Tom Paris’s daughter. All children of successful ship’s and all recruite by Wesley because of his experience as a “traveler”.

I would watch the heck out of that show. That is a really cool idea and it actually makes Wesley useful while harkening back to established continuity.
Thanks for stopping by and posting.
