I must admit, I played around with this until I got one that (a) didn't have a version of me from a parallel universe that was the opposite gender, (b) didn't have "the creator's plan was sh*t" reason for cancellation in it. Though considering that aizain was once compared to Yahoo Serious, I think he'd be more likely to be an alien than a robot, and he might not want to be human at all. Why must they always want to be human anyway?

I've been a brooding but brilliant scientis twice now. So it must be true. *broods*

Exactly. I preferred Data before they gave him an emotion chip.

I'm not sure what to attribute this "wanna be human" thing to:

• lack of imagination
  
• anti-alien feeling
  
• human imperialism...?

Conformity.

[kerravonsen]

Ah yes, in more than one way...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Could be any of them. Or perhaps the more laudable excuse of wanting to do something with the character. I always find the outsider's view of humans much more interesting myself.

Agreed. But maybe the writers feel that an alien wouldn't be interested in giving the outside view of humans unless they had some particular motivation? Naw. After all, the Doctor manages it very well, and nobody imagines he'd want to be human! But then again, it's not that often that his alienness gets a showing. His observations on the human race tend to come from the perspective given from time-travelling, not the perspective of being an alien.
