I didn't remember him being intoxicated thanks for that.
Just to me that level of technology you'd think regular vision would be super easy.
EDIT:
The Enterprise seems to have a small zoo onboard with animals and things like puppies. I find that most interesting.
I"m up to the episode Elementary Dear Data and something I just noticed that I did not notice before, was this a production goof or not?
Moriarty seems aware before Geordi even gives the computer instructions, you see him looking intently at them as they use the arch. Makes me wonder if he was a bit self aware before the computer snafu..
There was a goof also in a prior episode where Picard orders warp 6 and Geordie responds with aye aye full impulse.

I agree it would make sense that the 1st data they should attempt to relay to his inputs would be simple photographic data, but I guess there's some reason they never managed it.
Interestingly, there is one example of the audience seeing Geordi's PoV as a normal visual, when the Duras sisters use him to get the Enterprise codes in Generations, but I always consider that one not an actual Geordi PoV. Soren wouldn't care too much about them. He probably just low-jacked a plain old camera recorder to Geordi's visor, rather than trying to manipulate they tech itself. He had other business to get to
That was before Geordi's request of an opponent able to defeat Data, right? So, the holodeck characters DO take notice of the users, under normal circumstances, especially the main characters.
Which makes me wonder if there are other episodes where this has happened. Also the ship's computer is capable of that but blocked by programming, in one earlier episode its voice clearly expresses frustration with Data who won't shut up.
Starfleet has JAG offices so well I wonder is it military or not?
Yes.
And no.
I'm up to Measure Of A Man
I don't think I'd call that frustration. That scene in Conspiracy when the computer responds to Data talking to himself, & he proceeds to try to explain like 4 or more reasons why someone would do that & it just interrupts him & says. " Thank you, sir. I understand. I'd describe that computer interaction as the interface reaching the end of that process, like when someone talks too long on voicemail & it just shuts off lolAnd sometimes... not yes, but mostly not no.Yes.
And no.
And sometimes... not yes, but mostly not no.
While I do get what you mean I think nup. I
still think the potential was there, just maybe not explored or hinted at more...
Hey in Contagion why didn't they do a cold reboot of the computer?

Phasers can also power a transporter. Now that's interesting design that they can do that.
They seem to be a pretty dynamic power source, with wildly versatile applications. I recall Nella Darren using modified phasers to form individual pockets in their shield grid, for each away team member to survive in, during the fire storms in Lessons. I also seem to recall instances of them daisy chaining them together, for even more use too.
One of my favorite bits in all Trek is Geordi's survival situation on the Golorndon Core, in The Enemy. With just his phaser, communicator, tricorder & VISOR, that dude is damn near as handy as Batman.
In "EXTREME RISK", B'Elanna used the phaser for the Delta Flyer.
I didn't know that was possible.
I wondered if Data had shot Kivas Fajo in The Most Toys, but the ending of the episode spoils that thought.
But then he did lie didn't he about firing that gun during transport?
Yes, he did.
"Perhaps something happened during transport, Commander" leaves the matter open ended imho.
Data's being deliberately evasive about the truth, but purposely not lying. What he's doing is offering a noncommittal obligatory answer to a superior, who's vaguely questioning his actions, & who can then choose to press it further, which Riker does not, because frankly, it's arguably not Starfleet business how Data chose to accord himself, while acting as a captive.
There's a very strong likelihood that no one would condemn what he did, under the circumstances, least of all his crewmates. However, it better serves Data's standing (Which has been subject to injustice quite a bit in the past) for it to NOT go on the permanent record that the so-called program he has prohibiting him doing harm is somehow not as clear cut as maybe a lot of the folks back at HQ might have thought it was. Data doesn't need any more people questioning whether they can continue to put their trust in him, over their dimwitted understanding of his programming. It's just the kind of technicality that some jerk with a rank could use & distort to try to reduce his liberty again.
But doesn't a lie come after some emotion, so he felt the emotion of anger one could argue, couldn't they?
Watching TNG is a bit of a struggle compared to other Trek series. Right now I am up to the episode Night Terrors..
What's that one where aliens cut Riker's arm off an put it back? That was one of the good episodes.

I think you're referring to Schisms.
That's the one. It was great but shame it was so close to the finale. A follow up would have been great had they had the inclination and time to do so.
If only the soliton wave had been successful. That was a cool idea
