Star Trek: TNG "Data's Day"

Comments

Janeway knows

This is a great episode, the one flaw is Keiko is a plot point instead of a character in it, that could have been done much better

I had a feeling you were going to like this one, A. Know how I knew? I had lots of...wait for it...data.

Sort of the reverse of Balance of Terror

"Some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you" is such a banger line and such a Riker thing to say 😆 I love that entire sequence with the Romulans, the way we come in so confident and by the end Picard is giving this very defeated, waved off, unhappy "Engage🙁" The high drama of it all, it's all just so good.

It’s Data! Of course it’s one of your faves! Great episode. We’re ten episodes out for a top five episode for me…..counting out ten beats until “Drumhead”.

So glad you enjoyed this episode and your first time meet Spot Data's cat

Yeah, Data is my fave too, although Picard isn't far behind. This such a fun episode, well written too. I love how they refer back the The Measure of a Man, by having Data make a report to Bruce Maddox. And having Data taking over narration big time through the personal logs is a cool choice. Fun fact: Gates McFadden is an accomplished tap dancer and did all the scenes while Data was clearly replaced by a dancer in some scenes. Gates was also credited as choreographer in the end credits.

To answer your question, Commander Maddox WAS from Measure of a Man, you nerd 🤓. He was the one that wanted to take him apart and study him. At the end of the episode I believe the deal was Data corresponding and assisting in the research, like he did this episode.

Good one! I appreciate this episode more now because of your traction and insights. Side thought in Data’s cat named “Spot” (!). I laugh at that name but with more thought realize that 1) Spot is usually the name of a pet dog, and 2) the word “spot” has many meanings, and since childhood I’ve always considered it the name of a dog with a pronounced “dark spot” on its coat, or it’s face. But from Data’s perspective, “spot” might signify a verb -to spot something, or a location, so his spotless cat may have some unusual meaning for him. It’s funny, but a good joke generally reveals a hidden truth. In this case, the truth is “Data thinks differently than we do.”

I like how you have the string of cats and hearts. I like seeing that side of Data with the cat. I thought you would like this episode. Been looking forward to it. It is a special episode. Enjoyable and gives (fleshes out) sense/essence of Data to me. Plus, O'Brien is one of my favorite characters. "Welcome aboard" --Picard.

I love how Data considers his choices for a few moments before ordering "Feline Supplement 74" for Spot. Why not "73" or "75"? Of course, he may be running a "Feline Supplement" random number generator in his head, but to me it always seems like such a human moment. One thing I hoped we would see in this episode, but didn't, is Data reporting Ambassador T'Pel's request for sensitive information. Standard Operating Procedure aboard a starship would certainly be to report such a request, even though it was subsequently rescinded. I would have loved it if, just before the Enterprise warped out of the Neutral Zone, Picard had signaled to O'Brian to use the same transporter trick the Romulans had used, to beam T'Pel off the bridge of the Romulan warbird. Picard (as the Enterprise enters Federation space): "Chief O'Brian, is she aboard?" O'Brian: "One Romulan spy safely aboard sir!"

I know I'm late to comment on this, but I'm so glad you liked "Data's Day." This is literally in my Top 5 favorite TNG episodes, and yet it's hard for me to explain why. I think part of it is that we all wish we could visit the Enterprise and just hang out and live there (at least for a while). And this episode kind of feels like it's giving us that. It doesn't really have a truly pressing crisis, and is largely just a series of lightly comedic vignettes. Also, the Data/Beverly tap-dancing scene is permanently etched in my brain. And the episode definitively answers the question of what happens when the main cast crew have to go to sleep -- Data takes over the captain's chair.
