They are very much not the same archetype of character lol. Human/Robot is an entirely different dichotomy than Reason/Emotion. They are not exploring the same things. It's not merely detail, it's the whole idea.

Not saying that Data doesn't occupy a "reason" spot in Trek, as Spock did. But there's plenty of different conflicts.

Reason-emotion is also a big part of Data's character and narrative though. That is very much one of the things that is going on with Data. It's not the *only* thing but it's absolutely present. In a different way than Spock, yes - and in some respect inverted - but it's definitely a big thematic element.

[(Anonymous)]

Well yes, they're the Outsider characters of their cast, just like Voyager's Doctor and 7 of 9. That character whose perspective on humanity is a little bit skewed, so they create an area for exploring things. Of course they're going to have a lot in common, while still being their own thing.

That doesn't make Data a low-rent version of Spock. Simply put, maybe you don't think data has an successful arc, but the arc itself could never be Spock's.
