[@tixeright9120]

kinda but the computer systems of a starship at various stations prompt crewman with notifications & ask for command decisions/overrides/adjustments/calibrations all the time, this was demonstrated in an episode of Voyager, where the Holographic Doctor is transmitted to a distant federation starship, but finds no crew aboard.

[@TheMegaPingasMobile]

Which raises the question: why are the others there

[@Justforvisit]

@@TheMegaPingasMobile Because even in the future the decisions made based of a human brain with all of it's heart, empathy, compassion etc. is still considered 100 times more worthy than a computer going only by programmed routines and might not react in the right way if something unexpected would happen. Like a crewman that would get stuck during a warp core breach, the computer would decide: "1 life vs. the rest of the crew - expandable, lock" whilst a human would still try his / her best to get said crewman hella outta there.

[@phastinemoon]

Just a little detail, I only noticed just now... Picard addresses ALL of his crew as "Mister" or "Doctor" or "Commander" -- 'Mister LeForge', 'Mister Worf', 'Mister Data'... Even though he outranks them, and technically only needs to address them by their last name. It's striking how much respect he shows for all of them, regardless of station.

[@phastinemoon]

...Um, in the navy, they address each other by last names, only -- that's the standard requirement. The lower ranks address their commanding officers with titles, but the higher ranks (LPOs, Master Chief, etc) are only required to address their subordinates by last name (or just rank, especially if they're in trouble) What Picard does is most certainly NOT a navy thing.

[@phastinemoon]

Really, dude? You're going to turn this into a Tourrets's style outburst, just because I offered information that's different from your experience? Star Trek was written by an American, so it's not too far off to think the writers used the US Navy as their basis. And seriously, calling me a 'cunt' because you didn't like what I said?

Picard touching Data's shoulder at 00:19 is so sublime.

[@Kaemonarch]

Nah, you are reading it wrong. That was a telltale sign that he needed sleep :-P

For a being with no human emotions, Data can be surprisingly considerate regarding the needs of the others on the ship, including the captain.

[@JackOfAllRAIDs]

+Solidfact42 I'm extremely curious as to what subroutines he was programmed with to allow that.

[@waldoman7]

+JackOfAllRAIDs i mean, he has emotions. he was written by people who can't really fathom an emotionless being and played by an actor who has emotions. he has smiled before! but, the idea is that he simply finds the good of humanity and his "friends" as logical, I suppose. He is on a quest to become more human, so fitting in and being productive in human society is productive towards that end.

[@vguyver2]

+waldoman7 they kinda were all over the place in the first two seasons with Data, but they eventually established some ground rules. Despite that Data still ends up showing emotions, and it's not because of the actor, the writing required it. My theory has and always has been that Data has had emotions from the start. That it's in his subroutines, built in but lacking in proper function. That little processor emotion chip just processed the subroutines in a way that Data understand and express better.

[@ryanjackson3428]

+V Guyver Yeah, this interpretation makes the most sense. Like the time he was obviously taking pleasure in ruining the guy who tried to keep him as a toy.

3 hours later Picard was reported missing as he had not reached his quarters. After asking the computer where he was, Mr. Data found him in turbo lift 3, 13 decks away from where his quarters were located. He had collapsed asleep into a ball on the floor of the turbo lift. Mr. Data thought it wise not to rouse him. So he put a blanket over Picard and had the turbo-lift deactivated from moving anywhere else until Picard woke up.

[@TheTurnipKing]

was he going to his quarters? I'd assume he'd just catch a few hours or so in his Ready Room. After an incident like this you'd think the crew would be on heavily rotated short shifts before returning to normal patterns.

Correction: they were able to sleep, but not to reach REM stage, thus resulting in hallucinations, paranoia, etc.

[@Foebane72]

Peter Rouleau Same thing, I would've thought.

[@rofyle]

No, it's possible to sleep without reaching REM stage. A drunken blackout is one way.

[@Foebane72]

rofyle Then, by your own logic, the whole episode is silly! And I don't like to hear that.

[@rofyle]

Foebane72 Well of course the whole episode is silly. You can survive without REM sleep and without experiencing hallucinations and paranoia. Alcoholics and addicts do it all the time. But the story is still fun. I actually like this episode.

*"my android is just a stupid phone"* Could be worse, you could have a completely unrepairable phone made by a corporation that then slows down their older model to get you to buy their newer model and takes 30% of all sales of applications on their phone. Also, the new phone costs $1000 and it can't even act as a storage device with your computer.

The camera at the end + the music + Data's stance make it look like ordering someone to bed is the most heroic thing one could ever do :D

Picard should have said to Data, "I'll only go to bed if you promise to read me a bedtime story".

[@hagamapama]

He would have read him "Lt. Com. Data and Starfleet Incident Report For [current stardate]: Final Disposition USS Brittain." Seriously Data is probably the guy that handles all the tedious paperwork. Everyone else hates it and he doesn't mind.

[@rikosaikawa9024]

[@edwardcook2973]

I have seen comments from people complaining that the night crew should have taken over, but they miss the point of this episode. According to the doctor, everyone needs to dream to survive. No one human on the ship was able to sleep properly, therefore everyone on the ship was running on pure adrenaline with no proper REM sleep for an extended period of time. They all would have needed a full period of rest and REM sleep to fully recuperate from their physical and mental exhaustion. This would have included everyone on the night crew. Data has proven on multiple occasions that he is capable of monitoring every station on the ship by himself. As long as there were no emergencies, I see no problem with him doing so.

[@AzguardMike]

Data : Pleasant dreams, SIr Piccard : Thats.... a human expression Data Spock : Hmm fascinating. Mc'Coy : Green blooded Vulcans and fake star fleet officers. Back in my day ...

it's such a luxury the enterprise has in having data..doesn't need sleep, food, rest, morale boost, love, strongest/fastest/highest knowledge and computation on par with the ship, immune to radiation or lack of breathable air for away missions...etc.

[@hagamapama]

There's a reason Cmdr. Maddox wants to dissassemble this guy to figure out how to make more. Data is an invaluable asset to Starfleet, he could even achieve Dr. Daystrom's dream of no more need for human crews in Starfleet vessels. But if you get too enthusiastic remember -- Lore happened too.

[@Fermion.]

If they could ever get the process down, Datas would increase at an exponential rate. 1 Data could create another Data, then those 2 create 2 more, then those 4 create 4 more, etc. If Star Trek were real, that would absolutely be the military's #1 priority. It'd make Starfleet one of the most powerful groups in the Galaxy, or totally annihilate them. And we all know that if the military has even a chance for absolute tactical supremacy over their rivals, they're going to give it a shot, regardless of the consequences (*cough A-Bomb cough*).

I would like to note that according to Star Trek Online and the rest of the ST expanded universe, Data IS now the Captain of the Enterprise. Not temporary acting Captain, THE Captain. Captain Data. And he enjoys the full confidence of his crew. (For bonus points, the chief engineer? Nog, from Deep Space Nine ^.^ )

[@jeepinbanditrider]

Is this noted in any of the books? I used to play STO and got out of it after a while.

[@richardsingleton9065]

you have to be careful as data is not the captain of the enterprise during the time frame of Sto but beforehand..( no missions during sto have data as captain but a different person) also in the extended universe there are 2 parralel futures, the 1st the events of spock prime and the hobus supernova (createing the franchise reboot and sto portrays the future of the universe spock prime leaves) but there are other future events from TNG set out by novels etc that predate the reboot plotline that are completely different as well..

[@richardsingleton9065]

***** Data dies in nemesis but is resurected in both versions of the future.. by a project headed by geordi laforge in the sto timeline or.. by a meeting with a robot version of dr soong in the older extended universe

The fact that Data can order all crew to bed and run the ship (albeit with likely no incident whatsoever , major or minor) shows just how advanced these ships are to be run by just one person alone if necessary.

[@SeanTheOriginal]

This is like one of the few times anyone in Star Trek ever says "thank you" to somebody for doing something for them. I get they don't HAVE to thank people because they're "the leader" and people get put in the brig for not following orders, but still, it wouldn't kill them to say "thanks" ever now and then.

[@GraemePryce1978]

I always loved the interplay between Data and Picard. Those two, along with Captain Janeway, Tuvok and original Captain Kirk are my top 5 favourite star trek characters. I think if I was pushed to make a choiice Data is my favourite all time character though.

[@Megalith79]

So glad I grew up when this series was new. TNG will always be my favorite Trek series. The characters and the chemistry between them are masterful. Another commenter said “this show was all heart” n I totally agree with them.

[@Brian6587]

Acting Captain Data has a nice sound to it. Pretty cool seeing him issuing Picard an order too. I always thought this scene was neat. The other scene I always liked was the 1st season episode with the Binars when Data ordered "Abandon ship". I think that episode was really Data's first big command decision having to order "Abandon ship" without being able to consult the Captain.

[@johnhoog8279]

Data should have sat in the Captain's chair and then camera pulls back and out of the ship.

[@TigDegner]

That would have made a lovely backdoor pilot to a new Star Trek series set in a future where Data is Captain of the Enterprise. Running concurrently with TNG, I can imagine the two series conveying a poignant and beautiful sense of life as a being who does not age.

[@andrearin8383]

One thing I've always loved about Star Trek is how the main crew would have someone within their ranks that had special powers or abilities that would come in use if ever needed, in Picard's situation they have data who is by extension more than able to captain and command a starship as well as sufficiently operate it faster than any of the personnel on the ship, gotta love that .

[@micksilva6028]

The reason is because Star Trek has always been written for television. That is where that show shined and excelled. Trying to make Trek blockbuster films competing with other films has always been a mistake. Yes there have been a couple good movies but Star Trek has always been best on the small screen.
