encounter at farpoint is genuinely so good and i'm so glad that other people found it as shippy as i do.

what do you mean they had a meetcute. what do you mean they gaze wistfully at each other on the holodeck. what do you mean data pulls riker to his feet like nothing and riker goes 😳 and yet it's a rarepair. can we talk about that

fun star trek fact! the measure of a man was written as a spec script during the writers strike of 1988. that means someone just chose to freelance write the most data x riker story ever conceived, submitted it to paramount, and the rest is history

speaking of the screenshot from earlier. the fact that data's reaction to the hr violation of a comment "smooth as an android's bottom" will gave him was to follow up and feel his face after the initial shock. the locking of the eyes, data shaking his head as he walks off. cinema.

"Besides, who was it that made the first move?"

"Made the first move? Ah, yes," Data found the reference of that expression before Riker could respond. "You mean who instigated the relationship. I did, in the turbolift."

Data questions his "humanity" before bed, and Riker is annoyed.
