The Truth Behind Data’s Fate in Star Trek: Insurrection Revealed!

The Star Trek universe was almost changed forever in Star Trek: Insurrection when Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) was intended to meet his end much earlier than in Star Trek: Nemesis. The original script by Michael Piller had a dark and dreary storyline planned for Data, where he would have been killed by Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a battle to the death. Luckily, Patrick Stewart intervened and saved Data from this fate, steering the movie in a different, more uplifting direction. Fans can be grateful that Data was given a different fate in Nemesis, only to be resurrected in future seasons of Star Trek: Picard. Discover the untold story of how Data narrowly escaped a much darker ending in Insurrection!
