Warning: HUGE spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 7, “Fully Dilated.”Star Trek: Lower Decks, season 5, episode 7, “Fully Dilated,” proves that Brent Spiner’s Commander Data remains one of the most beloved Star Trek characters, and he’ll hopefully continue to return to the world of Gene Roddenberry’s vast space opera time and time again. After playing Data in all seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the show’s sequel movies, Spiner has reprised the character and adjacent roles in several other spinoffs. There was no disputing his importance to the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast, but Spiner’s cameo in Star Trek‘s animated comedy solidifies his legendary status.
