I like how these two characters are able to effectively collaborate, despite their vast differences, because they are both scientists.

I loved this episode... man star trek writing today is sooo bad. Only a couple of episodes of strange new worlds were kinda neat.

* constructs

VEULLEZ PENCHEZ VOS NUK JAI PRIS LE CONTRÔLE DES INFORMATIONS UNIVERSEL!MOI CARBONE 14?!

I was really horrified by the half-human , half-spider hybrid Barclay became😮😮😮

Thanks goodness Data didn't devolve into something else

Picard had the instincts of a Pygmy Marmoset, a small primate, Worf was like a huge bug alien with venom sacs

??? I'm no expert in every single ship in star trek, but isn't this another Borg ship....??

They missed a chance to use Spock's "stone knives and bearskins" line from City on the Edge of Forever. It would have been a nice homage.

This is what running out of show plot ideas looks like.

Episode name?

I hate Data.

Poor data.

An anvil that size probably isn't more than 300 pounds. A lot of human blacksmiths would have just picked it up too. Unless Data's radioactive alloy isn't the only heavy metal in common use on this planet...

Data reaches out and crushes his spine leaving the guy paraplegic, now that will slow ya down!

BEGIN A ROBOT MAN. DATA WAS MORE HUMAN THAN HE REALIZE...

Well, he almost dialoged himself to death.

Thats not rage, simply anger. I will show rage AHHAHHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHGHHGHGHGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!

The trolly question.

One of the best episodes of the show, it reminds me of that old saying, “You are not yourself when you are hungry”

..."I am a Frenchman" ......Priceless!! :)

Worse shot? Star Wars storm troopers or STNG away team.

Are we not going to acknowledge how ridiculous that sequence where she dives for the gun is?

Take that, EMH

"It is not my intention to deceive." "I am an inventor"

Problem: "Your principle is that you fundamentally respect all beings. Well, you cannot punish/eliminate me even if I threaten other beings, because I am one of those beings you respect. If you tried, you would be in violation of that principle and therefore be a hjypocrite." Solution: "But by not eliminating/punishing you, you continue to threaten even more lives which I have a fundamental respect for. By eliminating/punishing you, I save more beings from being violated. Therefore it would still be in the service of my principle to take action on you, therefore I'm not a hypocrite." Bam. Easy.

It is not the chip. Data always wanted to do that.

I’m surprised she didn’t suck the life out of that ensign…😳🤤😛

'Eavesdropping' has saved my life on at least two occasions. I profoundly recommend it as a 'Hobby'.

Think of the Center of Mass.

In case anyone scrolls through KZbin comments for trivia: 1) This episode was directed by Gates McFadden. Hence the in joke about the episode being her fault at the end. 2) Marina Sirtis had to endure 4 hours of make-up for this episode... and because the water in the tub kept destroying the appliances, it also took another 8 hours to film the "waking up in shock" scene! Because she had such a rough time filming this episode, she threatened to quit the show unless they gave her quite a significant raise in her salary... but luckily, the network agreed.

I'd go with Data's gut anytime. Gotta like that android.

God, Star Trek was c**p.

Now i know what i am finally, I'm an iceman!

Who is that laying next to Proto-Riker?

holly shit thats some bad aiming,

haha diana troy transitioned into a sir.

what was the point of all those lights blinking on his face? makes the scene look comical these days.

Starfleet must be at-will employment. No 30 days notice!

I think this scene stops at the most interesting part. Where Data is in the transporter room and questioned about firing and he lies. That is the moment he really becomes human.

I always loves when this happens on shows: Person 1 on some comms speaker: "OH MY GOD THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE, DEAD BODIES... THIS IS A DISASTER... WE'RE UNDER ATT...." Person 2: "Hmmm... interesting... I wonder what's going on... maybe there was a malfunction? Bah, I'm sure they're fine..." Like Data, bro, you were right there... you clearly heard him say "we are under attack" before he got cut off.

Fantastic episodes, compared to today's *utter trashtrek.* They don't make'em like this anymore, folks. And likely never will again.

Is that Patricia Tallman as the Security officer?

Data never made a conscious decision to kill him. He made a conscious decision to save lives. Its a matter of perspective.

No greater good comes from sacrificing one. Then that one that asked for it should sacrifice himself.

One of the times I wish they didn't have that conveniently timed transport. Seeing how Data would come to terms with executing a homicidal individual while not having the emotion to express the contradiction of upholding one's values while still portraying the feeling of conflicting convictions would have made for an intriguing storyline. Of course, I may just be saying this because I think Brent Spiner is an amazing actor who deserves more screen time, but I digress.

evolutionists really think along these lines. sad.... thinking you came from a rock that came from nothing.. no facts just. .belief in this. Kent Hovind Creationist seminars free here on KZbin.. get some real science
