  • What happens when Data gets a girlfriend? A lot of misunderstandings, mixed signals, and Data being genuinely confused. Join me for a look at the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "In Theory", where Data dates Lt. Jenna D'Sora on the Starship Love Boat.
    Just to be clear, while I make some jokes about Jenna and how she handles her relationship with Data, I totally get that she was going through a bad breakup and that she wasn't in the best shape to enter into a new relationship. My jokes are based on a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead or actual events is purely coincidental.
    Note: This is a reuploaded version of my original video. The original version had some copyright claims that developed after a couple of days, and rather than cut up the video, I went back to my video editing software and fixed the problem areas.

    You are spot on with the Love Boat bit at the beginning. As a kid when STNG came out, we Trekkies were just glad to have more Trek, but we couldn't help but compare it to the more bombastic original series. We all called it the Love Boat in Space, because it was just a primetime soap opera with spaceships and the occasional action scene to spice it up. LOL

    Data was always one of my favorite characters. Even without emotions, he always made an effort to be polite, helpful and kind toward others. It wasn't a big shock that the occasional female crewmate might find herself attracted to those qualities.
    I think this story could've worked a little better if there was a more gradual build up to their relationship. The Jenna character suddenly appears in this episode and then we never see or hear from her again. Perhaps if she was shown interacting with Data in a handful of minor scenes from previous episodes, it might've helped to better establish their pre-existing friendship and maybe make the transition into this experiment with dating/romance feel more organic.

      I like this idea. It's like how we saw Lt. Lefler for a couple of episodes before she dates Wesley in The Game (though it would have helped if Wesley was *also* in those episodes).

    A classical woodwind group. Data doesn't have his emotion chip so he can't love her back. The captain doesn't have a group where his tin whistle would fit in. That lieutenant was after Data, just like so many women are attracted to Spock. He probably found a decent looking Romulan student to mate with when his time comes up. I wonder which couple would have the longer injury list Worf and Jadzia or Spock and Chapel.

    Not being able to use contractions makes no actual sense when you think about it. Words themselves include combinations of letters that form contractions inside of them or sound like them. I mean if Data can't say 'Im', then what about 'Dime'? Rhyme? Prime? What if the word 'I'm' was an alien word for tree..or if the D in 'Dime' was silent ...would he still be unable to say it?
    Being entirely unable to form contraction/related sounds means he's almost incapable of conversation
    Being capable means there's obvious workarounds for the entire issue and it goes away

    • @tilasole3252
      @tilasole3252 2 месяца назад +1

      I've always wondered about this. He is supposed to be highly advanced, but can not mimic the contractions. And it is not like he is newly off the assembly line, so has nothing to fall back on. I just assumed he chose not to, opposed to not ever being able to.

    • @JanelleWaz
      @JanelleWaz  2 месяца назад

      One hypothesis: Dr. Soong went out of his way to write a program preventing Data from using contractions as a results of the colonists being freaked out by Lore.
