My cat peachy also got lost in a blizzard. Missing for a week then when I walked outside he was there on my porch. His leg was broken though. But it healed and now he lives inside with me. I love my cat!
Years ago, when we were moving some furniture out of my house, my beloved cat took advantage of the open door to take an unexpected sojourn. Days later, when I had all but given up on ever seeing her again, I found her under my porch. She had obviously been on an adventure in the meantime and was filthy, but I was so happy.
@@jacobbradford7229 How is that an error in writing? The engineer made an incorrect assumption...something a vast majority of humans, do every day... AKA, reality...
You know, Brent Spiner didn't actually say that spot was stupid, he just said that he was an awful actor. He actually doesn't mind cats. p.s Three words - Best. Clip. Ever.
That said, even if he didn't like working with cats, the one thing that did seem real was Data being happy to see Spot wasn't hurt. Just because he doesn't like working with cats, does not mean he wouldn't feel bad if one got hurt or died.
Okay, but straight up out of literally any other heartwarming or emotion-driving scene in ALL of the Treks whatsoever, THIS is the one that legitimately made me cry for 10 minutes. I'd lost my cat Alice for an entire week last year, about two weeks before finally watching this movie, and I was an absolute WRECK the entire time. We live out in the country, and by a busy road; there were a bunch of different ways that I could have lost my cat forever, and she's been with me for 7 years, ever since I was 11; through being suicidal, through being bullied so badly that I tried to kill myself, through self-harm and self-conviction, through being diagnosed with terminal cancer, through every awful thing that has happened to me, some of them too despicable to mention without being asked to clarify. It was devastating. And then one night my dad and I were walking around in the overgrown field behind our house with a cup full of dry kibble trying to draw her out with the sound like we'd been doing that entire week, every single day, and I heard cracking dried stalks of enormous weeds, looked around, and sure enough - sans sparkly collar - was my fat, dumb, glorious cat. She followed the sound, saw me, squeaked, and ran as fast as her fat little legs could carry her over to me. It was the most emotional I've been in many, many years. And this scene made me appreciate her even moreso. It meant a lot to me.
I'm so sorry that you've been through so many hardships. I thank God every day that we have our furry friends to help us through these trials and tribulations.
Although I don’t like how the emotion chip undermines the fact that Data did have emotions but they were just different to human ones, I do find this scene very touching.
I don’t think he ever had emotions before. I’m pretty sure it just seemed like it did sometimes because that’s a very hard thing to do, write a character with no emotion
@@N7thegreatspy throughout the series, it's hinted by other characters, and sometimes even by Data himself, that he does have emotions in his own way, he may just not be consciously aware of them like humans are
''This is Spot. This simple creature managed something quite miraculous. Something of which I did not know I was capable. In a way, he taught me to love.''
Adorable! This reminds me of when I saw a man on TV reunited with his cat who was lost during a big flood. Tears of happiness from the man, distinct lack of interest from the cat.
I can't say I blame him. I love cats but I'd never want to have to act with one or do anything which depended on them performing a time sensitive action on cue.
@@wjzav1971 Not allergic. Nor does he hate cats in general. He just simply hates working with cats. He said out of all the actors and actresses he's worked with, one of them being a revered Shakespearean actor, (Which anyone can often mistake for a prima-donna.) that Spot was considered the worst actor Brent had to work with.
Being around humans most of his existence, I'm sure Data has seen instances of this and it never phased him. But, now that he's experiencing it himself, it must be overwhelming. I love this movie.
+Liane Li Yeah, for most of the scene, Spot's like "Let go of me or I will scratch your face off." Still, Brent Spiner's acting really sold this moment for me :)
To be fair, i think it sold the scene significantly more than if the cat was calm and snuggly. This legit looks like a cat that managed to survive a spaceship crash, only to immediately be pulled out of his safe hidey-hole without much warning. Grumpy and on edge, but putting up with it. Very much gives me "im only letting this happen cuz its Data," vibes.
I am so dumb. I just realized that she knew it was Spot, but wanted to show Data that emotions are more complicated than he thinks. I cry whenever I watch this...❤️
What a beautiful scene. Generations is worth the watch just to see Data finally experience emotions; he deserves it so much. To be honest, I would not have minded to see double the amount of scenes with Data emotions in this film... or simply a whole film or a whole season just about Data getting used to the chip and going through all kinds of emotional states =D
There were tiimes that Data expressed emotions in the TV series too. He's always had them but didn't recognize them for what they were until he got his emotion chip.
I thought the chip hurt the character. The great part about Data is that he ALWAYS had emotions. He just didn't project them like humans. Watch the episodes with Tasha, Lal and when Dr. Soong died. Soong told Data he WOULD grieve, but in his own way. The whole reason Data was made that way was because they didn't want him turning out like Lore. Also, there was the episode where he straight pissed on the Prime Directive to help that little alien girl. No emotions, my ass. You just had to look closely. Also, I think he DID want to kill that asshole who wanted Data for his "collection."
I thought Data decided to kill the collector (Kivas Fajo, I think?) in "The Most Toys" because he couldn't find any other logical alternative that didn't end in multiple deaths by Fajo's hand. He said, "I cannot permit this to continue."
i've watched very little Star Trek and have never had a huge interest in it, but discovering this scene and the relationship Data and Spot have, i think Data might be my favourite character. this scene is incredibly heartwarming and i love these two :) it's always the characters with cats that draw me in...
this almost made me start crying good feels...it reminds me of when my father's cat went missing for a month and a friend of ours found her in our basement the day we were moving.
Most people seem to miss the point that this came right after Data saying that he has learned to control his emotions. Kind of a "no, you haven't. And that's the crux of the human condition."
I suddenly lost my beautiful little friend in February. I wish I could have that little bit more time with him. I still see him almost in my mind's eye sitting all his usual favourite places. I miss him.
I always saw edited versions of this movie, so didn't see this scene until just recently. It really highlights Data's transformation post emotion chip.
@@AdhamOhm She knew it was Spot. And she knew what Data's emotional reaction would be. She just wanted to prove that "uncontrollable emotion" wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Spots a small animal, and in a cave of rubble. I thought “faint” was more that the life signs were hard to detect cause of that, rather then cause Spot was injured in any way.
Guess my own "chip" is working just fine. I'm quite a softy and was happy right along with Data when he found his little friend. I think most of us know the sorrows of losing a beloved pet and perhaps a few of us know the joy of getting them back if they've been feared lost forever. One lesson- whether your loved one is furry or some other sort of critter or is human... be sure to tell that soul that it is loved repeatedly. You never know when you won't get that chance again.
When I first saw this I tried so hard not to cry, but I couldn't resist. Cats already make me so emotional and this made me soak up my couch! So heart touching!
I haven't seen this movie.. but I'm glad to see Data kept the emotion chip. The closest I've been to it was when Lor was destroyed... but on TV. I'm currently working on watching Star Trek: Next Gen from the very first episode.. I'm on season 2. It's going to take forever. xD
Oh it does take a while but I assure you it's worth the time and dedication. IMO Data more than any character develops so much by the later half of the series. For an android who began with no emotions or an understanding of Earth culture he is a very deep and rich character and has a lot of personal episodes based upon his journey to discovering his humanity. Hope you finish the series at some point. *as Data* I'm quite sure you will find it... acceptable.
@@AlexDraco Spot certainly has several lives...and is probably a timelord that regenerates..because that adorable feline changed sex more often than a gender studies student...I wonder if all the kittens from a certain TV episode that involves backward evolution got a loving home btw...
I love how in first contact while first fighting the borg. Data felt fear and excitement. But then just turned his emotion chip off. And Picard was like data sometimes I envy you.
I think that cat has a homage to the famous cats that served onboard ships such as Unsinkable Sam who served aboard the German battleship Bismarck, HMS Ark Royal and then HMS Cossack and the one who served onboard HMS Belfast.
A couple of weeks ago my cat returned home after being missing for over a week and when I tell you I cried when my mum messaged me telling me that he came home. I had to leave the room I was in (i was at college at the time). I would always sit down with my dad after he finished work and watch star trek and this scene always made me cry, but now after experiencing the fear of losing a fluffy friend and being reunited, it hits close to home. Brent Spiner's acting in this was absolutely amazing. :)
In case nobody's pointed it out already - the uniform didn't change in the moments around 1:04 - 1:08. Look at the 'switched' shot at 1:08, the back of his uniform is being brightly lit, in contrast with the front. It taking up most of the previous shot only makes it look grey & black, when it's just the contrast between brightly lit, and in shadow.
That has to be the sweetest Data moment I've ever seen. I could cry, lol.

Sentience will necessarily result in some form of emotions. The emotion chip screwed up any hope of exploring that intelligently.
I do think he had emotions and they developed further. I don't think the emotion chip plot device was needed.

cat has to show lack of interest or lose his C.A.T. card
Data might have been happy, but I know Brent Spiner was not.
Well, even as a cat lover, I wouldn't want to have to do several takes because of a cat. I'd get a little frustrated too.
Brent was not happy it was the cat he found he wanted it be geordie trapped, he hated the cat.
Wasn't the whole Data having a cat business a little bit complicated because Brent Spiner is allergic to cats?

When Data, being a Shakespeare buff, saw his cat hiding in the wreckage, he should have just said: "Out, damned Spot!"

If a cat can survive an alien encounter then I’m sure that a cat can survive a crash landing.
The saucer is designed to crash land as safely as possible and cats are are great survivors.
Whether cats really have nine lives or not, none can tell for sure. But what is certain is that they're remarkably resourceful animals.

Spot travelled the galaxy extensively and later evolved into The Cat in Red Dwarf.

Spot: That was the WORST TRIP OF MY LIFE.
In case nobody's pointed it out already - the uniform didn't change in the moments around 1:04 - 1:08.
Look at the 'switched' shot at 1:08, the back of his uniform is being brightly lit, in contrast with the front. It taking up most of the previous shot only makes it look grey & black, when it's just the contrast between brightly lit, and in shadow.
AGHHH TOO MANY FEELS D: I happy-cried just like him watching this
