I believe his point is being in way too many episodes before being dropped and forgotten about for years.

Hey, I like Alexander! And Lwaxana Troi. And the episode that they both star in where we get to see Data in drag.

That’s a different one, for a fistful of datas should be the title. It’s worf and alexander playing a holodeck western, there is a malfunction that injects data into some recreational programs (and vice versa). This then bit by bit turns every person in the simulation into versions of data, including the, uh, voluptuous bartender who has a thing for the sheriff (played by worf)

The real beauty of this is that we found out there is no point of diminishing returns on Brent Spiner as an android.

Oops, you’re right! Got them mixed up. Clearly it’s been too long since I’ve watched Next Gen.

“Fistful of Datas” has Data in drag but I don’t think Lwaxana was in that. Are you thinking of “Cost of Living”? I like that one. It was filmed not long after Gene died and you can see it in Majel’s performance. She gives a speech about very old and alone, and you really feel it.

I am with you with Lwaxana, but Alexander is a step too far for me.

Thank you for the belly laugh, it was sorely needed.

I’m no Alexander hater, but I do believe that his early appearances could have been done with a mannequin and voiceover to the same level of effectiveness. (Possibly his later appearances too, but it’s been 15+ years since I last watched those episodes.)

I like Alexander as a plot device. I do not like Alexander as an actual onscreen character

Dunno, Dr. Evil actually seemed to like Mini-Me

Yeah, and Dr. Evil also already had a son he didn’t get along with.

One day he will grow up to be a torpedo and bring honor to his ship

Always remember that Odo was a better father to a sickly, sentient blob he bought off of Quark than Worf was to his own son.
