*I love Lore. You can tell that Mr. Spiner had SO much more fun playing him, and I can see why. I relate to him in some strange way-- he's chidish, really, emotional and selfish. Also, I'm really glad he exists in canon, because in a lot of ways he makes more sense than Data. You know, the whole rebellious A.I. trope-- there's a reason it works so well; it's logical.
*I really can't ship anyone romantically with Lore. I don't know why. I suddenly wonder what would have happened if he and the Borg Queen had ever teamed up, though. (Might not have worked because they seem to have different ideas about what "perfection" is, but you never know.)
*Non-romantic OTP? Hm. I could say something about the relationship he has with his brother, but that's kind of boring. I guess I'm curious about him and his father. They had a lot more time together than Dr. Soong had with Data, and Dr. Soong mentions something about how Lore "always listened to him." Lore seemed genuinely upset when Dr. Soong said he was dying, so even though I'm sure they fought and disagreed often, I'll bet they were closer than was immediately obvious in the series.
*I'm not sure I have any unpopular opinions about Lore. Maybe what I said before, that I can see why Brent Spiner had so much more fun playing him? Probably not that unpopular, though.
*I wish we'd just seen more of Lore. I understand why it was difficult to film episodes with both Lore and Data, but wouldn't it have been interesting to maybe see one episode with Lore and not Data? I want to know what he was up to that whole time before he found the Borg and teamed up with them.
