"Time's Arrow" Line-by-Line - Page 4

Enterprise1981 · October 19 2012, 06:06 PM

LAFORGE: Yeah.

LeadHead · October 19 2012, 06:09 PM

Data: Hmm. Why?

Orac · October 19 2012, 06:38 PM

La Forge: Data, this has got to bother you a little.

LeadHead · October 19 2012, 06:44 PM

Data: On the contrary, I find it rather comforting.

Enterprise1981 · October 19 2012, 06:50 PM

LAFORGE: Comforting?

BlueStuff · October 19 2012, 07:05 PM

DATA: I have often wondered about my own mortality as I have seen others around me age. Until now it has been theoretically possible that I would live an unlimited period of time. And although some might find this attractive, to me it only reinforces the fact that I am artificial.

Orac · October 19 2012, 07:36 PM

La Forge: I never knew how tough this must be for you.

BlueStuff · October 19 2012, 07:43 PM

DATA: Tough? As in difficult?

Orac · October 19 2012, 07:54 PM

La Forge: Knowing that you would outlive all your friends.

Enterprise1981 · October 19 2012, 09:46 PM

DATA: I expected to make new friends.

Orac · October 19 2012, 10:17 PM

La Forge: True.

Athena28 · October 19 2012, 10:57 PM

DATA: And then to outlive them as well.

Orac · October 19 2012, 11:41 PM

La Forge: Now that you know that you might not?

Trekker4747 · October 20 2012, 12:50 AM

DATA: It provides a sense of completion to my future. In a way, I am not that different from anyone else. I can now look forward to death.

LeadHead · October 20 2012, 05:42 AM

La Forge: I never thought of it that way.
