Why Data Died In Star Trek: Nemesis (& Did He Have To?)

Star Trek: Nemesis killed off Lieutenant Commander Data (Brent Spiner) in an attempt to give the film an emotional climax, but the beloved android deserved a better ending. Data became a fan favorite over seven seasons on Star Trek: The Next Generation, with Spiner imbuing the highly intelligent, physically powerful synthetic life form with a childlike wonder and sincere desire to become more human. The TNG season 2 episode "The Measure Of A Man," where Data's rights as a sentient being are put on trial, is arguably the show's first truly great episode.
