"Maybe I'm an outcast spy" remains one of Garak's top lines. He's telling the truth! But he's only doing it because he knows it will be read as a lie!

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display

Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.

And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,

I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

(I love somali spot even if she was an orange tabby for the majority of the show...)

I'm excited to draw more datas !!!

He's becoming easier to draw

[ismellvinegarandfries]

I don't know what is it exactly that Brent Spiner did or maybe it's just my interpretation of his acting, but he really makes Data feel like an android. From the future.

Even if he didn't have any makeup on or contact lenses, I'd be like "yeah that's Brent Spiner and that's an android." Maybe it's because his facial expressions are preset and even Data says the wildest things it's passable.

I'm in awe everytime he appears on screen, literally a test to one's acting chops.

I’ve actually thought about this a lot because I’ve had non-Trek friends roll their eyes when they see a picture of Data like, really? They painted a dude gold? That’s it? That’s supposed to make us think he’s a robot? But then they see Brent act and the instant suspension of disbelief that man creates pistol-whips them into the 24th century whether they want to be there or not.

I do think it comes down to Brent’s impeccable consistency. The facial expressions, mannerisms, movement, intonations, etc. In conjunction with the writers, he “found” Data very fast and honed that essence into a precision cut character.

That’s why it’s always so delightfully shocking when we see a “Data gets possessed” or “oh no! It’s Lore!” episode. We witness the pristine Data persona shatter into something unrecognizable even though the actor and his silly gold paint doesn’t change. Absolutely remarkable.

^^ six different characters but we all instantly know who the real Data is.

I think he has, as the industry folk say, catastrophic chops.

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?

[dreamerdrop-deactivated20260528]

still pretty emotional about ds9 doing the whole “what if all the fantastical adventures are just in the characters head” bit and then going “it would still matter anyway, because it still means something to the character imagining it, and it still means something to you, the audience watching it, or reading it. the story still matters, no matter whose imagination it was. if the character made it up or if the writers in the real world did. it still matters.”

The TNG writers seriously underutilized Picard's artificial heart. On a pre-warp planet or stuck in the past? Don't die. The autopsy will ruin everything. A shuttle's (or Data’s??) power cells are failing on a remote planet? Get the jumper cables. Someone stabs you thinking they've landed a killing blow? Wrong. Solid duritanium. Technology scavengers realize the most valuable piece of equipment is in your chest? Run fast. TSA checkpoint? Heart confiscated (unless you put it in checked luggage). Bad guys aim a compressed teryon beam at your chest? Boom. Dead (it's okay, he got better).
