Data is going to fuck shit up!!!

[datastartrek]

Data really said ‘maybe violence IS the answer’

[foone]

My boy data realized that debate was not going to work and saved the lives of over 15,000 people by blowing up an aqueduct with a handheld weapon.

He was all “you see that shit? I’m just one dude and I destroyed the only source of water your colony has with a PISTOL. The fucking Sheliak are on their way and you really want to fight them? They won’t even need to send a robot down here with a phaser. They’ll just bomb you from orbit. Now do you want to stick to your ‘we’ll fight them off!’ plan or do you want to START PACKING AND GET OFF THIS ROCK BEFORE THE ANGRY ALIENS MAKE IT RAIN LASERS AND ANTIMATTER BOMBS?” and the colonists are like “well when you put it that way… Maybe we should get ready to move.”

Meanwhile Picard is playing some 4D diplomatic chess so they’ll have time to get the colonists off the planet, and he pulls it off brilliantly. The Sheliak are deadset on colonizing in 4 days and if they find any humans on that rock, they’re killing then. It’ll take weeks to evacuate them. Picard is looking through every line of the treaty, looking for loopholes, and finding nothing. The Sheliak are a race of lawyers. They don’t make mistakes. But Picard thinks outside the box.

He calls up the Sheliak. “hey, we’re having a disagreement, right? We want you to delay a few weeks, you want to colonize this planet, we can’t reach an agreement. Well the treaty says that we can get a third party to arbitrate this problem, can we do that?”

The Sheliak are like “yeah sure but they’re gonna rule in our favor, that contract is perfect.”

And Picard smiles his ass off and goes “OK GREAT for the third party I’m picking the Grizzelas.”

And the Sheliak lose their shit. The Grizzelas are a race that hibernate. They’re gonna be in hibernation for SIX MORE MONTHS. But according to the treaty, Picard gets to pick who will arbitrate the disagreement.

Picard’s like “I see you’re not happy about my choice. How about I agree to skip arbitration for a small favor? How about… Three weeks to evacuate that colony?”

And the Sheliak are like “OK FINE YOU WIN, SHINY-HEAD. YOU GET YOUR THREE DAMN WEEKS.”

I just love the episode. Data saves the day by realizing that sometimes debate isn’t enough and you need violence. Picard saves the day by rules-lawyering a race of lawyers and avoiding violence.

No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.

Right now, I’d like to make a toast. When we worked here together, we fought, scratched and clawed to make people’s lives a tiny bit better. That’s what public service is all about. Small, incremental change every day. Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Far and away, the best prize that life has to offer is a chance to work hard at work worth doing.” and I would add that what makes work worth doing is getting to do it with people that you love.

I don't know that I've ever seen someone make the Aardman Grimace in real life.

Truly a masterclass in harrowingly strained enthusiasm!
