- Data is really based on Questor from the pilot movie Gene did about 15 -20
- years ago called The Questor Tapes. They even have an exchange between
- Questor and a women where he says he is 'fully functional' etc.
- Having watched this when it came on late-night about 2 years ago, all I
- kept saying was "that's where Gene got Data from."
