Who would you rather have on your crew?
Whoever the most logical
>>71937840
Data. Spok can fuck off with his "le no emotions even though I have an emotional break down every episode"
Data can survive in conditions impossible for humans. That alone would make him ten times more useful to have along.
>>71937840
Data is physically stronger, more intelligent and immune to biological weapons
Data is immune to a lot of shit which came in handy plenty of times in TNG
Spock is literally a fedora tipper.
>>71937857
this
Data.
The only thing Spock does better is diplomacy.
>>71937840
who ever wins a set of 4d chess
But spock is and will always be your friend.
>>71937840
Spock as friend.
But Data is a fucking robot. He does everything except fear.
>>71937840
Who would be the more "logical" choice? Data.
Who would I rather have as a companion? Spock.
Data is more capable of solving problems
>>71938029
>neelix looking thing that's not neelix or even the same race
I think this is the main reason I never touched the show.
>>71937840
Spock, because he's less annoying.
>>71938060
This.
Spock
I find Datas quest to be human more endearing than le euphoric logical man
Spock has psi powers which are infinitely more useful than Data's robot strength, which is pretty insignificant in a universe where teleportation, synthesizing matter and phasers exist. Data can get damaged by arrows and spears, he's arguably less useful than a human being with a tricorder.
>a man tries to get rid off his emotions
>a robot tries to have them
Pottery
If I was human, I would find this thread... highly insulting.
Geordie. Why did ensign Ceeayyaee call me, 'a big guy'? Are my proportions not similar to the galactic humanoid average?
ITT: people who never saw Star Trek
Data had some malfunction almost once every 3 episodes, he's way worse than Lieutenant "I go fuck crazy once in 7 years" Spock
>>71938417
spotted the retard. Spock went crazy almost every episode
>>71938489
by "almost every episode" do you mean "2-3 times in 3 seasons"?
>>71938395
Oh Data! It is an idiom, a colloquial expression. He meant that you have a great tolerance for pain. See, if I pitch you, you don't even blink.
>>71938417
>tfw spock almost has a better sex life than yourself
>Spock is a walking meme
>Data is a brobot

With the amount of cosmic mind fuck the enterprise comes across I'll take data thank you

Dr. Phlox was the shit, dude.
>>71938029
why did so many people hate this show?
>Thought Spock was a mary sue
>Data shows up
Ooh look at me I make meme rap songs about cats! Fuck off.
>>71938920
cause it was pretty bad
>>71938738
Ah, I get it! A colloquial expression! Chunky bloke, colossal dude, enormous fellow, hefty chap, sizable gentleman, tremendous individual, huge chum, massive male, substantial chap.
Thanks Geordie!
>>71938989
How so?
>>71939008
Premise was fucked for one thing. So much time is spent with the "temporal cold war" plot which never got interesting because it took place in a future we never saw. The characters were mostly uninteresting and it was filled with obnoxious pandering with the "sexy" decon chamber scenes.
It got better over time but it wasn't enough.
>>71939100
Temporal cold war=Post 9/11 US military recruitment propaganda
>>71938029
looka this cunt
>>71938920
Season 1 and 2 were total shit save for the andorian episodes, the vulcans weren't emotionless in it and every single one of them always seemed to be yelling at people, and the villains sucked because we already knew that everything worked itself out fine due to the fact that TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY all happened and made it meaningless in the end.
Season 3 started to improve, and season 4 was when it finally found it's own place and got good, save for the last episode. But by then it was too late.
Data.

Keep it going bro
>>71937840
Watching Wesley with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Android would never stop. It would never leave him. It would never nerve pinch him, never shout at him, or get drunk on Romulan ale and mind-meld with him, or say it was too busy Pon farring to spend time with him. It would always be there. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be science officers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine was the only one that measured up. In an insane quadrant, it was the sanest choice
>>71939001
That's enough Mr Data!
Data often seems more of a liability desu
>>71940271
>implying he didn't save the ship 10^x times
Data was the reason for practically every mission either going smoothly or never ending in disaster.
>it's a Data gets arbitrarily affected by the same neural/biological/psychic phenomena that's affecting the rest of the crew episode
>>71941720
>It's a Tasha gets funky with a drunk robot episode
>>71940162
underrated tbqh fäm
Not a Trek guy. I'm assuming Data is a robot Did they ever address him aging? Did his weight ever change, and if so was that ever addressed? I don't know why but I'm curious.
>>71938395
>>71938738
>>71939001
>implying Data wouldn't be the greatest baneposter ever
>>71942500
When TNG started Data already served for like 20 or almost 30 years. H doesn't age but his actor sure did.
>>71940162
>At this point in the scene, Beverly is seen jamming more cordrazine into old, worn hyposprays while looking off into the horizon at the planet's binary moons, her red hair matted and uniform dirtied by the previous day's events.
>>71942601
This doesn't answer my question. Also what the fuck is H?
>>71942800
HE doesn't age but Brent Spiner did. Thats why he and basically everyone looked so bloated and miserable in the TNG movies especially Nemesis
>>71942867
HE?
As in "he" doesn't age, meaning Data?
Or is it initialism?
>>71941846
Was she bisexual?
>>71943196
Why did they make her look so stupid here?
What the fuck were they trying after?

>>71943163
I believe "HE" in this case is a nominative pronoun, the male person or animal being discussed or last mentioned, that male one who is neither speaker nor hearer.
Captain, if I may, this anonymous poster appears to be suffering from acute autism, as he is unable to comprehend a simple written statement.
>>71943244
Oh, damn, very nice spot, anon.
Armus sure did turn her Twin Peaks into Blue Velvet.
Data
He's superior to Spock in everyway and 100% obedient
>>71943299
yes thank you data.
>>71943299
Data, you capitalised both the H and the E in "HE".
There was no previous need for emphasis, don't you see it?
DATA?!
Data with his emotion chip thing. Then he can laugh at all my shit jokes.
It's a "Data betrays his friends for a promotion" episode

This is not a valid question.
Make me choose between Seven and Data.
>>71937840
Spock.
For the bantz.
>>71937840
Oh man, I love both, but I guess I'd go with Spock because of his vast experience. Data is one of my favorite characters ever, but he can be unreliable since he's almost a child.
>>71943299
What an unusual quirk, eh number one? Data appears to be... emulating autistic behaviour, for want of a better term. I want everyone to stay back, but keep an eye on him all the same.
Worf I'm assigning you to watch Data. Report back immediately if anything untoward occurs. This should be an interesting learning experience for him.
>>71943579
Her character was like a stock Sims character with only the career picked out.
Even Dr. Ubenge had more personality.
>>71938489
What are you talking about? It only happened once or twice, and usually when everyone else on the crew was being mind controlled or whatever too. You're thinking of nu-Star Trek where Spock screams and punches Sherlock.
>>71944195
>Captain, there are very few people aboard the Enterprise who could have broken off a piece of my dick in their ass. Commander Data IS one of those people.
>>71943416
WEW LADS
WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNER RIGHT HERE
>>71944248
That last sentence I read in a crystal clear perfect Worf voice.
>>71943490
Literally the best female character on TNG. Troi is the goddamn mess, and Beverly is constantly harping and nagging about doing shit because her sensitive feeeelings no matter what the laws of the federation or the prime directive says.
>"But Jean-Luc, I don't caaaaaare that their race forbids autopsies, all I care about is myself and my medical degree!"
Polaski was a sassy old dame who did her job and didn't take any guff. Truly GOAT.
>>71944248
EXCUSE ME Mr Worf? Did I hear you correctly? Your out of line, commander!
>>71938417
Spock is a Commander you faggot.
>>71944306
She actually grew too.
Came to see Data as a person, and a better doctor than Beverly as well.
>>71944354
But Commander, if you will just-
66-79 Spock without any of the Commie bullcrap.
>>71944400
Uhh Captain you better have a look at this...
>>71944472
It's a rare Pepe off the starboard bow.
Onscreen.
>>71944515
Magnify. Again Mr Data.
Troi are you sensing anything?
When the going gets tough and the ship needs saved; Spock. If I'm the Captain: Spock.
Since I'm a retarded minwage worker who'd never get in Starfleet anyway where I on the Enterprise I'd be some peon and since for the majority of the ship these men are astronomically high ranks I'd rather work under Data.
Don't get me wrong I like hardwork and a hardworking competent boss is great but I have my hobbies too and I if I was going to go either of those officers to get time off it would be Data every time.
Sure he turns evil every now and then and gets possessed even more but I reckon he'd let you arrange some other twat to cover your watch while you do something stupid. While Spock probably wouldn't wait to make eye contact before telling you to fuck off.
>>71944567
I CANT SENSE ANYTHING CAPTAIN IM BEING BLOCKED BY ELECTRICAL INFETTERENCE
>>71944567
I feel...smugness. And virginity. I've never sensed something so strange.
>>71944567
Captain.....I''m sensing a great deal of smugness from this creature. It *wants* us to provoke it!
>captain, what is a normie and why does ensign anon seem to despise them so much?
What boards would Data browse?
>>71944774
All of them, simultaneously.
>>71944774
/sci/ no doubt. And he'd spend all his time correcting the idiots that post there
>>71944727
>>71944731
Captain! I recommend a full spread of torpedoes!
>>71944748
>Normie: normalfag, jock, outsider. It was an old yank pejorative slang to denote those without autism that posted in old internet forums and databases. It usually was used in "ree, get out of my board normies" with a picture of an angry frog cartoon attached to it.
>>71944774
Christ. Imagine the chats Picard would have to put up with if Data ever found 4chan.
They'd have to reset him.
>>71944789
This.
Perfect answer.
>>71944774
He would post >tfw no emotions threads on /r9k/

Transform Wesley back, now!
>>71945284
Q...that's a little racist.
>>71938091
Phlox is actually one of if not the best character on the show.
>>71937857
But that's simply not the case. Have you only seen the JJ movies? He has a short fuse in those, but on the TV show I can think of only two emotional outbursts from Spock:
1) Amok Time. Entire episode centered around him behaving irritable because of Pon Far.
2) Plato's Stepchildren. Forced to laugh and then cry by those aliens with the midget slave.
Seriously, what are you talking about?
>>71945419
Yeah Phlox is the most interesting main character besides maybe, maybe Archer
>>71945217
And how can this be? For he IS the Kwisatz Haderach.
>>71945365
Racist? RACIST?! ME?!
I assure you, I have only your best interests at hear! Have I not proven myself to you already?
Perhaps you it is you who needs a lesson, Jean Luc!
Let's see whether or not your views endure spending some time in their natural habitat!
>>71945428
>Have you only seen the JJ movies?
Wasn't the excuse that he was "young" and "still not in control of his half-human side" or some shit along those lines?
Fell way off to me too, especially in the second, didn't mind it that much in the first actually.
>>71941554
except for like every single time they dealt with an undeveloped society
>>71946252
See your soon Picard!
>>71943366
Why did they make Data a manlet? Or is Riker 7 feet tall?
>>71946425
Frakes is 189 cm (6 ft 2.26 in)
Spiner is 177 cm (5 ft 9.5 in)
>>71946108
lmfao. I always get them mixed up. Basically sound the same when said outloud.
>>71946514
Not what I asked, but okay.
>>71946257
Well, to be fair, he watched Vulcan get destroyed. Prime Spock never had that baggage.
>>71946546
Your question is flawed because "they" didn't make Data a "manlet".
The writers and producers thought that Brent Spiner gave the best performance during the casting process, but they have no control over Brent Spiner's height.
>>71937840
The one impervious to EMPs.
>>71946653
Data is impervious to EMPs. Those affect electronic equipment, but Data is positronic equipment.
>>71946743
I will give you one chance of correct yourself sir.
>>71946633
They could have avoided scenes where Data was next to someone this close, and resulted him looking too short, or lifters to compensate.
I dont know, I never noticed it before, only in this still.
>>71937840
data after first contact
spock before first contact
>>71946783
You sound insecure.
In the future, nobody will care about a person's height, just like how nobody cares about a person being bald.

Star Trek: First Contact
PG-13
1996 ‧ Fantasy/Science fiction film ‧ 1h 51m
Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of the newly commissioned Enterprise-E battle the insidious Borg to restore the rightful future of Earth. The Borg is trying to stop the invention of the warp drive by going back in time. While some crew members are on Earth, the others are in a battle up in space.
I could cuddle data to sleep and it wouldn't be gay.
>>71939369
A typical trektard's view of Enterprise, the very best Star Trek series ever produced.
They don't like it because it was Star Trek done right:
No faggots.
No feminism
No PC
Less technobabble
More realism
More character
Interesting aliens
Solid storytelling
Too straight white male for them, I suppose.
>>71938091
Vulcans are literally just humans with pointy ears, are you really that retarded to think there wouldn't be other similar looking races in the galaxy?
>>71949419
>Solid storytelling
Not when they have that abortion of a time travel plot they kept pushing on the series.
>that enterprise episode where data's creator appears
>>71949629
>Yet another rainbow warrior.
>>71949417
Androids do not require sleep.
>>71949511
Not him but that's something that always bothers me about scifi shows. Making other alien races straight up humanoids as if that's the only thing that can be sentient life.
Granted, Star Trek has it's share of gas clouds in the original and weird giant insect aliens in the animated series, but humanoids outnumber them so much it just feels unnatural. I understand the limitations of film but it keeps me from being fully immersed.
>>71949511
>Yet another queer PC rationalization.
>>71949365
Thank god none of the general fags have come to shit up the thread
>>71949892
You're trying too hard. Be more subtle and maybe you'll rack up more (you)s.
>>71937840
spock had to be tricked into believing he killed his captain for some pussy like a dumb ass. Sure it was a great episode...but that kinda shit never would have happened with Data.
>>71950043
So I take it you never watched any of the TNG episodes with Lore?
Was pleasantly surprised to see Spiner on Outcast. Can someone explain what's the deal with his character from Independence Day coming back alive in the new one, does he have that much screentime?
>>71945428
You're a massive autist.
I still remember the episode with the giants and Spock made some red shirt stand in the middle of nowhere without a gun because he second guessed spock.
He was an emotional brat, sorry you're too fucking autistic to have seen it.
Spock was a bitch.
>>71944921
UHH, RACIST AND SEXIST MUCH, CAPTAIN?
>>71949419
This guy get's it
Live long and prosper, my nigga.
>>71950239
Turns out he was in a coma for 20 years. He actually has a huge role in the movie, he even gets the last line.
>>71950926
He must give really good blowjobs, because his acting is horribly lame.
>>71945078
Latinum exists
>>71949419
I liked ENT
But the borg stuff was fucking bullshit
>>71951379
He's not a 16 year old girl, your mom, or yourself, faggot.
>>71951491
See:
>>71948940
That's where the borg in Enterprise came from.
And it proves Archer is the best Captain.
Grabs a borg and pulls out its borg tubes... then commences killing it with his bare hands.
Archer is a real man... not a flakey faggot, a token gibsmedat, or self-entitled feminot like the rest of them.
>>71945078
Only Earth (and maybe Federation in general) is a communist utopia.
Countless other species still use money.
>>71951625
>presumes to defend a flaming faggot by calling me a faggot.
Typical lame brain trektard.
Brent Spiner was amazing as pure android Data but anytime he played somebody else or when data had to have emotions he was fucking shit
>>71951675
Archer is a condescending prick who probably got accepted in to the academy because his dad was a somebody in StarFleet. He constantly belittles his senior officers and has zero growth in the entire series.
>>71951902
>it's an episode where Spiner plays three characters or more
>>71951379
Spiner is an excellent actor.
>>71952112
I liked him in Gargoyles.
>>71938029
im a massive fan of tos/tng/ds9 but i absolutely cannot be assed seriously watching ent, not sure why
>>71952152
Gargoyles was like a haven for TNG actors. It was amazing.
>>71951919
>>71952112
>butthurt clueless queers actually believe this.
>>71952152
Why is everybody in TNG so much fucking cooler in Gargoyles?
Riker = Xanatos
Troi = Demona
Spiner = Puck
Goddamn
>>71937840
Data without a doubt. Straight up upgrade to Spock. And the non human immunity is too useful

Is voyager even worth watching or should i just skip to enterprise
>>71952818
Voyager was a super gay hagfest populated by a shipload of sniveling whiners subservient to an annoyingly preachy feminist incompetent who suffered from chronic psychosexual penis envy.
>>71952979
Pretty much all the characters on VOY acted as if they'd been lobotomized. The Maquis characters should never have integrated into the crew with such apparent ease. Janeway avoids a mutiny only because the writers willed her to.

Not only is Data more knowledgeable, more logical, and more resilient, he's more empathetic, searching, and capable of wonder. Unlike the arrogant autistic know-it-all Vulcan faggot.

Of course!

I'll go with Dr. Spock. TOS is the only good Trek.
>>71957774
Did she even have an accent? sounded "normal" to me, but not a native English speaker so there might have been subtleties that I didn't catch.
Spock's one-of-a-few-kind half-Vulcan who's both superior to humans both mentally and physically, and who through his human side doesn't have the absolute uncontrollable autism typical of Vulcans.
But Data is truly one-of-a-kind as the first sentient artificial life the federation has created. He is the next step in evolution, and what a massive step that is. His personality is utterly altruistic and societal. His capability beyond that of multiple Spocks.
