Notes

  • The titular “Silicon Avatar” was a being that was introduced in the episode “Datalore“.  This is the last episode the character appears in, besides the opening titles for Star Trek: Lower Decks
  • One of the few times Data’s ability to mimic other’s people speech is used.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 104 - Silicon Avatar - 14 Oct 1991 1/2 A sequel of sorts to the ep "Datalore", but without Lore. It does bring back the Crystalline entity from that ep in an underwhelming return. I felt it had no real threat then, and now - the same. It was a faceless bad guy.

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 104 - Silicon Avatar - 14 Oct 1991 2/2 I didn't care for the ep then, wasn't great now. They did attempt to bring a personal touch to by implying there was some intelligence to the thing, but it was dispatched - bye. Bit of a sad ending for the female guest star.
