in love with how Data runs across the screen back to his station like a fucking cryptid in episode 24

#star trek #star trek tng #data star trek #data soong #william riker #he has been spotted #i get that he needed to get to his station quickly but why did he feel the need to sprint there like his life depended on it #he's so silly i love him #this is also the same episode where he laughs at geordi's anecdote with absolutely no expression too he's got so many sillyboy moments here #he's so weird and that is why he's my favourite #he's an autism android he's trying his best to understand human social cues

Upon reflection Data is so obviously a robot made by someone who's already accidently made an evil robot and is way over compensating this time. Just the gentlest, least evil dude you can imagine.

#starfleet was like “we're gonna take you apart and you might die you have to do this it's the law”#and Data was absolutely gonna be like “🤷‍♀️ ok”#like he can be a LITTLE more assertive than that #star trek tng #tng #data soong #I know he's an android robot is just a funnier word

[image id: several drawings of Data from Star Trek TNG.

top left panel: Lore hands Data a gift and says, "happy *birthday*, I guess." Data replies, "thank you, broth-" Lore interrupts him: "just take it."

top right panel 1: a front view of a yellow book. Data is holding it in his hands. the text on the cover reads, in all caps, "meow: the book is for your cat only. written in own language."

top right panel 2: Data has now opened the book. the text reads the word "meow" over and over.

bottom right panel: Data from the chest up, reading the book. he says, "quite humorous indeed."

bottom left: Data lying on his side, holding the open book in front of Spot, who is sitting next to him. there are three question marks above her head. Data says, "look Spot. it is written in your language."

The thing about the fandom’s interpretation of Data and Pulaski is that it makes both characters extremely flat and boring while also erasing their whole relationship. Data’s made into this flawless, naive baby that can’t defend himself (when he does - when Pulaski mispronounces his name, he tells her exactly why she should pronounce it correctly), while Pulaski is an ugly bitch-hag who is morally reprehensible. Most fanfics portray Data as being uncomfortable or scared of her, while Pulaski’s chomping at the bit to break him into parts. Their whole relationship in season two is based around the fact they both have flaws, and that Data is still learning about what exactly he is capable of as an android.

In “Elementary, My Dear Data”, the big question of the episode is if Data can solve a narrative mystery without it being based on his knowledge of the original stories. Geordi doesn’t know the answer. Pulaski doesn’t. Data doesn’t. From what they know of Data, Pulaski outright dismisses the possibility that Data can, which sparks the episode’s plot.

So when Geordi goes back later and prompts the computer to alter the program to be more challenging, both Data and Pulaski are excited! They want to see where this goes! They are openly having fun with this.

In her first episode, Pulaski dismissed Data when he tried to stay during Troi’s labour, and only relented when Troi said she wanted him there. But by “Penpals”, she assures Sarjenka that Data will be at her side the whole time. When Data expresses doubts, she assures him that this is what’s best for Sarjenka, but that his memories of her will still be important. This is also the same episode where Pulaski defends both her and Data’s personal involvement in the situation to Worf.

In “Measure of A Man”, the game opens with some of the crew playing a poker game. Data and Pulaski are obviously friendly and comfortable enough to socialize together outside of professional circumstances. And again, the scene shows Data calling the game simplistic and assuming he will win, but he turns out to be wrong.

Later in “Peak Performance”, Pulaski sets up Data to compete in Strategema, only for him to end up losing, to everyone’s surprise. The reason why Data’s confidence falls is because he had the exact same assumption about his computational abilities as Pulaski. They were both wrong! When she sees how much losing has affected him, she apologizes:

Data says that he must be malfunctioning. It’s not until Picard tells him that failure can happen even when you do everything right that Data accepts he can make mistakes - and that making mistakes is okay! By the end of the episode, they both know that Data is not infallible, and that he can be affected by failure as much as any human.

Pulaski makes assumptions and mistakes, and so does Data. They learn and grow from them, and their relationship is overall a very positive one despite their very different personalities. It’s an interesting dynamic that gets rewritten by fans entirely, despite the fact that it’s weirdly one of the more developed dynamics in the show.

#tng #st tng #data soong #data tng #katherine pulaski #star trek next generation #i promise this is my last rant post about data and pulaski #tng fans: i wish the crew had more developed and complex dynamics :(#also tng fans: no not like that #anyway my point is data and pulaski were pretty rounded characters in this season #and their relationship is really interesting!#and i dont think its a coincidence that a big chunk of data's growth drops after season 2 #which sucks because its interesting to see him learn about what being an android means!#him and geordi and pulaski on the holodeck was so fun #anyway in this house we love and respect pulaski in both data related and not-data-related matters
