Discovery Already Has A Synthetic Like Picard

Even if Fred remains dead , here ’s hop-skip Star Trek : Discovery break more info about the challenging humanoid and his connectedness to Data .
Even during the twenty-fifth C ofStar Trek : Picard , celluloid and android technology better significantly since the institution of Data , although very few beyond the Soong family line read the science behind it . Still , Picard ’s robot body , like Gray ’s , was indistinguishable from a man ( or a Trill , in Gray ’s case).It ’s unclear why and how a synth resemble the earliest version of Soong ’s humanoid would live in the 32nd 100 , and Fred ’s admission that he is over 600 years honest-to-goodness certainly raises some interesting interrogation . Even if Fred remains dead , here ’s hopingStar Trek : Discoveryreveals more information about the intriguing android and his joining toStar Trek : The Next Generation’sData .
