A spoiler complaint? Really?! 

Well, if Data’s “mother” could fool scannersShe's obviously never been to see a doctor or had a medical scan............;-)

People seeing it out of context might think there's more to it than there is.
Some people may well be avoiding the Picard forum because they can't watch it for whatever reason (poor internet etc) and are waiting for the dvds
On the forum list though the threat titles pop up on the right side

"Romulan Acid Spiting" could well be a big spoiler, not as much as "Dahj didn't last long" of course, but it's better safe than sorry
I dunno, I got the impression we were supposed to take it like Replicants. That is, an android that appears human in almost every way. If it's just robots that look human, that's not much to write home about. She received a very human facial wound, which responded to a device made to fix human(oid) wounds, I'm assuming they are very human until the show tells me otherwise.![]()
I don´t remember the episode to well...but wasn´t there some kind of device in Juliana Taylor that sent fake biosignals and stuff to sensors?
chakoteya.net said:LAFORGE: Basically she's a Soong-type android, except everything about her is designed to fool you into thinking she's human.
CRUSHER: She's got tear ducts, sweat glands, even veins and capillaries underneath her skin.
RIKER: Why does the scanner read her as a human?
CRUSHER: Because she has a feedback processor designed to send out a false bio-signal.
LAFORGE: It's part of her aging programme. Not only does she age in appearance like Data, her vital signs change too.
....
SOONG: Truth? The truth is, in every way that matters, she is Juliana Soong. I programmed her to terminate after a long life. Let her live out her days, and die believing she was human. Don't rob her of that, son. Please.
If you watch the scene in slow motion you can start to see her skeleton before the explosion covers the entire frameAnd this is why I think that Dahj is not dead but got beamed away by somebody, covered up by the explosion. I can´t remember where...but it was mentioned somewhere that Data´s "outer shell" can only be really damaged by a nuclear explosion or something with even more energy. If Dahj is basically an more advanced version of the "Susanna Taylor"-model, then she has an organic "outside" over a regular Soong-Type android body.
Can it be countered by Andorian ice powers?Imagine if they just did spit acid now, it'd be hilarious![]()
It's a good thing Dahj took Picard up the stairs before her death; imagine the kind of death and destruction that rifle could've done if the thing exploded on the first floor.LIke @BillJ I had no trouble with the scene......you can see it and hear a POP......then the acid ate her skin and clothing and finally caused the rifle to become unstable. I was shocked to see so many people confused. Maybe if you watch on a phone or tablet it would be hard to see.![]()
Why make her inferior to data? Givin a " human" body that can be desolved by cyanide is a big step backwards..
Uh...something just occured to me! You might be onto something here. Maybe she´s really VERY human and only "a bit" android. An android brain in a mostly human body? More similar to a Borg then to a typical Soong-Type Android? Hmm...and seeing that we already HAVE Borg in the story. What if Borg-Technology was used (in part) to create her?

Who knew the Blue Fairy was the Borg Queen?All Data ever wanted to be was human. For some reason.
