Data is easily the best dude on the ship. Funny as fuck.
Remember the one where he had that suitcase and forgot who he was?

This is one of the main stupidities with the entire franchise; my dad's been pointing it out since time immemorial.

It's also the reason why, in the movie Alien, Dallas was wrong to over-ride Ripley, and insist that HE be the one to go into the vent after Brett was killed. The captain needs to be with the ship; going into the vent in a risky move is a perfect task for a petty officer, which is what Ripley really is.

"Who gets to go into the vent?" Ripley, quietly: "I do." Dallas "No..." [etc]. Ripley had already signed up to be killed next, but was over-ridden by Dallas. And notice how, IMMEDIATELY after Dallas was killed/taken, the remaining crew went to shit.

It's a TV show. The alternative is having a bloated cast with characters that exist purely for away team missions and you have plenty of useless characters like O'Brien and Troi already.
