I'm struggling right now to remember when he actually said that, but I'm certain it was in the early seasons, that were chock full of a lot of those cringey lines lol

I mean, their philosophies can't be set in stone. If someone is intent on killing you just for finding out they exist, & will not accept you continuing to exist with an active knowledge of them, then they suck lol, and their wishes or demands are not paramount IMHO Especially when you're at a...

I dunno. It's all a rather fantastical scenario to begin with, but doesn't what you're suggesting equate to an order to just do what you think is right whenever I'm ordering something, & you think you know better? What kind of order is that? It's like a blank cheque. In the end, Data actually...

It depends on how you interpret the order. The present Picard is not privy to all the information that the past Picard was, when issuing the original order, & would he in fact still give this new order were he to be? Clearly, Data assumes that it's Picard's ignorance of the situation that...

Dammit. I think Amazon just cancelled Kevin Bacon's The Bondsman. That show was fun :scream:

But that's not where Picard expects him to be when he asks the computer for his location, once they reassemble in Engineering. That's what leads me to think they expected he'd evacuated. They didn't know he was there, & are wondering why he is. As for why he might be expected to leave via the...

I wouldn't imagine it's routine for Data to remain on the bridge in that scenario. Picard orders bridge control to be diverted to engineering, & for everyone to reassemble there. After that's implemented, the bridge should be presumably nonfunctional anyhow, except that Data intervenes before...

Aversion During the recovering weeks following Worf's near death spinal injury, Simon Tarses, who at Picard's insistence still serves on the Enterprise, oversees the administration of his medical treatments. While Worf realizes Simon had never deserved to be interrogated in the Admiral Satie...

Necessity is the mother of invention

I've been saying that for years. It makes no damn difference to anyone that he actually follow thru on holding the secret, but if a secret order had instead been given to Data, to keep everyone in the dark UNTIL they're at a safe distance, everything would've been better than fine. The Paxans...

I like the idea too. It really did seem as though Data's emotional awareness was just dialed down instead of absent altogether, & that he was meant to organically elevate himself out of his developmental limitations. However, it doesn't work well with the claim that Soong had spent years in...

After the crew wakes up the first time... Riker adds up that the distance they went should've taken them a day. They assume the "wormhole" dumped them out a day ahead of everyone, in a matter of 30 seconds, and subsequently realign themselves to the right time... not yet knowing that they...

After they're first knocked out, Data says it's only been 30 seconds, but that they've traveled a day's distance through the would-be wormhole. He then resets the clocks to match everybody else. The wormhole accounts for the temporal displacement. They presume it's a natural event & just...

Daguerreotype The Enterprise is caught in a dimensional rift and emerges in a dimension which while not actually being the mirror universe, has in fact also had encounters with the Terran Empire inhabitants of the mirror universe. It takes a great deal of convincing to get the people of this...

Bravery/courageousness of a magnitude that stands out most obviously. Uncontestable acts of heroism

Failsafe During a disaster that completely shuts down the entire Enterprise, Mr. Data volunteers to connect himself to the ship, so that his systems can be used to provide minimal life support functions to keep the crew alive, long enough to hope to find a fix. The problem? As the ship's...

Who ever said he was peaceful & respectful of life? Over the entire character arc, I'd more describe him as obsessive, self-serving, & shortsighted. He abandoned 5 different sentient beings, in various stages of development or disrepair, to further his goals before he ultimately took a person's...

They don't really use money anymore either, but I wouldn't find it odd if the thumb/fingers rubbing cash together gesture survived

I've always liked that Stewart plays incognito in Data's holodeck The Tempest during the Emergence teaser

Sort of, but that certainly wouldn't be in reference to the episode's focal character. I'll admit there's something of a double entendre about the title (which isn't uncommon in TNG) but it's a bit tongue in cheek where the Borg are concerned & definitely the secondary reference imho
