Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Emissary (1x01)

data: i have no emotions

data, later: hello, geordi. i have created a portrait of us as terran cats. this artistic technique is known as pointillism. it became popular during the late nineteenth century. i selected an american bobtail to represent you, and an oriental shorthair to represent myself. after researching feline behavioral characteristics and common humanoid-to-animal artistic associations, i concluded these were the most statistically appropriate choices. of course, it is not possible to determine which cat breeds we would actually resemble unless we experienced a transporter malfunction or a similar form of energy fluctuation leading to an unexpected physical transformation. i also adjusted the composition to accommodate your VISOR’s perceptual processing. you have previously informed me that faint details tend to blend into surrounding imagery. because of this, i used a high level of contrast to better define the silhouettes. the cats' whiskers and ocular details were rendered in pure white to improve clarity. i additionally incorporated bright violets, cyans, and saturated blues to the main color palette of the piece, as these wavelengths appeared more distinguishable within your visual spectrum. what do you think, geordi?

tng often points out the similarities between Worf and data and I feel like it's a shame that the fandom doesn't really pay attention bc if you look at the way Worf approaches a lot of the problems he faces it is with an initial confusion about what is expected of him and why and how he is supposed to act that directly parallels data, only when data gets it wrong it's often adorable, mildly offputting at worst, whereas when Worf gets it wrong it tends to be offensive and alienating and he often doubles down on the wrong response out of fear of admitting to failure. which of course makes me obsessed with him but understandably makes people read him as a surface level arsehole who's just like that bc he sucks
