During the series' production, David was typecast as an eccentric, but well-intentioned scientist who communicates with machines to the point of obsession, which he attributes to a "machine mind". This mental "tinkering" serves as a metaphor for his own internal struggle with the machine-like thinking associated with his INTP personality. He often uses this machine-like thinking to help him defend his position as a good, albeit quirky, scientist. He first appeared as a supporting character in "Nemesis", and became a regular cast member from Season 2 on.
