"What's that smell?" "Just... Uhh.... Reflux from... Umm... Cosmic radiation that has its resonance captured by the deflector dish." "... Fucking what?"

Not directly related but you reminded me of this wonderful blast from the past:

And of course, the not quite as good, but still worthwhile followup:

Data on Drugs? Or Data running Windows 98? You decide.

Data’s version of A Christmas Carol.

He is visited by the ghosts of Steve Wozniak, Linus Torvalds, and Richard Stallman, all telling Data that he must “Open Source” his code.

I’d smoke a blunt after an experience like that, too.

After all his tryhard Sherlock Holmes escapades, I can absolutely see Data putting on the corniest Ebenezer Scrooge the Federation has ever seen.

Spot! Haven’t seen you in a while, buddy!

Spot , 7 months ago

Just been lurking more. Busy season upon us. Things were different during your break… lol. Hope you are feeling better, and if you leave us again it’s for happier reasons!

Stamets OP , 7 months ago

That’s fair. And It was. A lot of Cyberpunk and random comedy to distract myself. Was needed. Thank you <3

Which Spot? Male Spot? Female Spot? Iguana Spot?

Spot first appeared in “Data’s Day” as a male, long-haired Somali cat. (citation needed • edit) According to Richard Arnold, Spot was initially a male Abyssinian cat. The reason the cat’s gender was inexplicably changed was, in reality, that Jeri Taylor decided Spot should have kittens. Also, the cat which first portrayed Spot died and was then replaced by a pair of other cats. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 101, p. 15) In subsequent appearances, Spot was seen as a more common American short-hair orange tabby, but still as a male. It was only in the seventh-season episode “Force of Nature” that Spot was first referred to as “she”. In “Genesis”, she even gave birth. When Spot reappeared as one of Data’s memories in “Surrender”, Data referred to Spot as “he” again. The Star Trek Encyclopedia (3rd ed., p. 460) jokingly suggests that Spot may be a shapeshifter or the victim of a transporter malfunction. Brent Spiner joked that there were actually 3,500 cats on the Enterprise-D and Data referred to all of them as “Spot”. David Arnold suggested that Data perhaps got another cat and simply kept the name. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 101, p. 15)

Spot is probably the most confusing character on TNG.
