I'm not sure what this is from (being a dvd special or something), but I recently downloaded it and thought I'd share. It comes in two parts. I do not own Star Trek in any way.

LeVar: gives a profound and emotional comment on the foundation of Data and Geordi's relationship with him. He gives what his perspective was, as an actor, to get the delivery in the scenes where they interact. Brent: "lol bro just needed to pay some bills"

I fucking love how honest he is about the money. It's not like he took it and slacked off either. He nailed that character like Noone else could have and is an absolutely huge reason why the show was so successful. No matter what he got paid per episode he should of gotten more. What a total legend.

Brent manages to nail an android who believes he feels no emotion yet clearly does in a way that no one, wether they be human or himself can comprehend - along with child like innocence, intelligence and quiet saddens all at the same time. He deserves all the praise in the world for conveying so many things at once in this one character.

Levar was proof the civil rights movement worked. It always seemed like up until this time that black astronauts were second class citizens or were killed off in a show. Here he was portrayed as not just an equal but as the superior friend. The only thing they struggled with was finding him a girlfriend.

Who knows what constituted all of Data's childhood.

So, motion control means "I suspect" that he has to play him self twice each time imagining he is looking at the other actor, in this case him self, then time the words he has to speak, and then over lap the film recording track with the other and blend them together to create two characters who are engaging in dialog with each other.

Data played several instruments throughout the episodes so it's hard to place the one shot... He played the violin in a few episodes, I think (I know he played in Inheritance, but the other times escape me ). He played the guitar once (I believe that was The Silicone Avatar) and even tap danced once (Data's Day).

That would be ideal. I seen promos of Discovery but it looks really boring and overly dark. I would much prefer a Generation\Voyager mix type of show. With priority being acting, writing, compelling stories and amazing characters over just fancy action\CGI stuff or just being dark and bleak like a lot of sci-fi these days.

Data is a true Superman. To be an "ubermensch" is not about having extraordinary abilities like Data's or Clark Kent's, it's about character. ENTIRELY about character. Khan Noonien Singh was not a Superman. BRAINIAC 4.0(James Marsters; SMALLVILLE) is not a superman however he is an android like Data. BRAINIAC 5 was much more like Data in character admitting his wrongdoings of the past and serving as a "temporal agent" in what I like to call the Superhero Coalition. Commander Data serves a different kind of coalition, the United Federation of Planets(UFP) as an officer in the Federation Starfleet.

You should judge Ronald Moore on how well he writes, not on who he kills off. Kirk was the best character in all of Trek, but to make a story good you can't rely on the same characters forever. The show loses realism and depth of all the characters are invincible. Thats one of the traits that make BSG such an incredibly well written story. I mean Ronald Moore won a fucking Peabody award for his storytelling of BSG. If anything, Moore helped Star Trek maintain it's reputation of being excellent.

He was something big in Season Four because I own the DVD box set. He was giddy in the bonus features about how since DS9 was the Alpha Quadrant's show, he owned the Alpha Quadrant now. I remember him smirking about that. Fine, but Kirk shouldn't have died, and even if they just HAD to kill him off, they should have done it in a manner that Riker, Worf, Data, and the crew could have seen it and witnessed such heroism, like Data did except the TNG crew should have had a viewscreen shot of it.
