Data VS Spock

Defining The Sides

Star trek fans, its time for you to sound off! Perhaps you are a die hard origional series (TOS) Trekkie or maybe you prefer the Next Generation (TNG).

Perhaps you prefer SPOCK, the logical half breed introvert who can be strange and unpredictable, even die and be reborn, or maybe you prefer DATA the mechanical extrovert whose programming causes numerous malfunctions that cause technical havoc time and time again.

Spock or Data? You decide.

Choose Your Side! DATA or SPOCK?

DATA or SPOCK?

Spock, it's the logical choice

SpockFTW says:

Spock is the best, since he is such a classic, original personality, and he's funnier. Then again, I find it on the whole most illogical to say that one is better than the other, as one is a a machine programmed to be humanlike and a humanlike being trying to be be a machine. I like Spock better, though.

krystal says:

Spock!!!! How is this even a debate!!!

Kumashi says:

Spock- Is it honestly a surprise that I pick him?
He's a half-breed Vulcan (I've always had a thing for hybrids) and I love the ears!

YSI says:

Spock. I like Data, but Spock is the BOMB!
~Live long and prosper
(Unless you like Data more than Spock... If you do, live long and suck it!)

Poke says:

I love them both, but if I had to pick one, it would be Spock.

Data, lock and load

DEM says:

Data, I think he was created to be the Spock-type character on TNG, but many episodes just took the character to a great place for telling stories. The idiocy of Dr. Pulaski aping Dr. McCoy was a bad season for Data, but his character is a great one on a whole.

skeptical says:

No way Spock defeats Data, superhuman strength, hello.

data>spock says:

data ain't no pointy eared half breed so i'm going with the android!

DATA~!!!!! says:

DATA is sooooooo hotter
if you like spock your a lunk head

reasonablerobinson says:

Data it seems aspires to be human, whereas Spock has been nurtured to remove human like responses. It has to be Data for me.
