he actually learns how to be a captain while playing the role, that's so awesome.. he gets a lecture from Number One and his ~~Science~~ Operations Officer on human behavior, it's just hilarious and beautiful, i'm dying here..

You're right it is beautiful! Not to be that guy though, but Data is Ops, not Science.

no, you're absolutely right, well noted.. i was having a moment haha..

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

All good friend! I'm just too much of a Trek nerd to not correct it. It's an easy mistake to make too, seeing as Data handles a lot of the science related stuff on the show and the Enterprise-D is notably lacking a Chief Science Officer. Behind the scenes Data was originally going to be in Sciences, but the producers didn't like the way a blue uniform looked with his skin so they made him Ops.

that is awesome my friend, thank you.. you know i may have watched nearly every episode of that show, and not really been sure about his job, haha.. but i just naturally equate him with Spock, when i think about his relationship to the Captain character.. and the fact that Spiner's character is the one learning human emotions from square one makes the whole real world episode with Stewart (the ACADEMY man, for God's sake) even better..

I wonder if Frakes was doing the Riker pose while lecturing him.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

He probably swung a chair around and mounted it backwards.

If they were seated he almost certainly performed the Riker maneuver.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I don't know if it is against the chain of command to Riker maneuver you superior officer.
