SF Debris: Datalore

Not only the introduction of Lore, but the introduction of that eternal catchphrase, "Shut up, Wesley!" There is also a bit of lost potential for TNG with the Crystalline Entity. When I saw this as a child, I remember feeling that this thing is a monster that scares me. It looks beautiful, but destruction follows in it's wake. I thought we would see more of it. It's a force of nature and yet another hazard to life in the Universe.

I thought it was a stupid villan, a typical monster of the week.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Not a bad idea making it a force of nature. Imagine the kind of threat it would pose if there wasn't just one but thousands of them.

I only read the first book.

Hmmmm.... a pack of them would have been cool in later TNG.
