This character list order sponsored by Q.
They did him dirty on Picard.
I will never forgive them for killing Icheb
Rutherford. No one else comes close to solving non-engineering problems like him.
Edit: he is not the best at it. He literally does it like nobody else. All others fall into two camps: diplomat or a troubleshooter, like they approach problems with the mindset that they have to be repaired for peak performance. There is a dryness to their approach that feels comfortable to logical folks.
Rutherford demands you dress like Twain and yell it out in a steamboat. No one does it like him.
Why does Airiam get a cybernetic body but Pike is stuck in a beep beep chair?
They learned to not put people into cybernetic bodies after the Airiam incident at Control HQ so they were like "sorry for ya, Chris"
Wait why is Cpt. Picard in the list? Fake heart?
Oui.
Also, fake other parts since Picard S1.
Kayla all day. ...but mostly not for character reasons.
It's obviously me!
Data isn't cybernetic.
First 2 lines of the cybernetics article on Memory Alpha.
Cybernetics was the study of hugely complex artificial intelligence systems, usually running on a positronic matrix and often housed inside robotic machine technology. A practical implementation of this was an android.
Okay, so under the in-universe definition he qualifies.
Yeah he's Positronic
