I've always been partial to this line from the third season's 'The Ensigns of Command" Data: "I could reduce this pumping station to a pile of debris...but I trust my point is clear. I am one android with a single weapon. There are hundreds of Sheliak on the way... and their weapons are far more powerful. And the Sheliak may not even offer you a target. They can obliterate this colony from orbit. You will die never having seen the faces of your killers." Warmest Wishes, Whoa Nellie
Data: "Does the Admiral have children, Sir?" Picard: "I believe he does. Why?" Data: "I am forced to wonder how much experience he had as a parent when his first child was born."
One of the few moments in "Code of Honor" that doesn't retard your mental development: Data: For example, what Lutan has done is similar to what certain American Indians once did, called "counting coup." That is from an obscure language called French— Picard: A language which for centuries on Earth represented civilization, Mister Data. Data: Indeed? Riker: I suggest you drop it, Mister Data.
The Offspring. From Deja Q: Q: "Who does he think he is, giving me orders like that!" Data: "Geordi thinks he is in command here. And he is correct."
Yes! That one is my favorite too. With these put down threads I'm surprised no one has made a Q put downs thread yet, btw. He would definitely win.
Data always made me laugh. The funniest thing was the way Brent made those quizzical faces like a dog makes when you say something they don't understand. Like "Wha?"
Forces of Nature (The ONLY good part in the whole thing.) When Geordi recommends phasering Spot as a training method for keeping her off the console. Data: Geordi.....I cannot shoot my cat...
From Time's Arrow I think... Riker: It's just that our mental pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns. Data: I understand. I am also fond of you, Commander. And you as well, Counselor.
Neither of these probably count, but for moments where Data dishes out a big bowl of pwn, I'd say: 1: grabbing a Borg by the throat and saying through clenched teeth "Stop... stop it... STOP.. STOP IT!" has got to be on the list? 2: Insurrection, Riker's just shaved off his beard. "Smooth as an android's bottom, eh Data?" Data strokes it, thinks about it, shakes his head and walks off
