Picard’s New Brent Spiner Character Solves A Season 1 Data Mystery
Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 2, Episode 5 — «Fly Me To The Moon»
Brent Spiner's new Star Trek: Picard season 2 character, Dr. Adam Soong, and his daughter, Kore (Isa Briones), finally solve a Star Trek: Picard season 1 mystery. Although there's a statue of Dr. Adam Soong in the 25th-century's San Francisco Bay in the dark future ruled by the Confederation of Earth, Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 5, «Fly Me To The Moon,» reveals that Adam Soong actually lived in the 21st century. However, a direct line can now be drawn between the Soongs in 2024 Los Angeles and the synthetic daughters of Commander Data in the late-25th century, Dahj and Soji.
Star Trek: Picard season 1 revealed that Dahj and Soji were twin androids built from a single neuron salvaged from Data, who uploaded his memory engrams to B-4 before the Starfleet android's death in Star Trek: Nemesis. However, years before when he was serving on the USS Enterprise-D inStar Trek: The Next Generation, Data painted a portrait he titled, «Daughter,» which resembled Dahj and Soji decades before the synthetic twins were built by Dr. Bruce Maddox (John Ales) and Dr. Altan Inigo Soong. Dahj was murdered by the Romulan Zhat Vash but Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) was able to save Soji and bring her back to her homeworld, Coppelius, where they met a prior version of Soji and Dahj named Sutra, who had golden skin like Data but was otherwise identical. But it wasn't explained how or why Soji, Dahj, Sutra, and her twin, Jana, were all derived from Data's painting, «Daughter,» and where he, in turn, derived the woman in the artwork from.
