Milanv: kind of amazing that people are still debating the heart of TNG after all these years
Danebianchi: still haven't seen a human cast play Data without feeling like they're just imitating him though. Guess that's what makes the one actor who originated it so great in hindsight
Obsidian Echo: I've always felt Data's introspection in his quotes humanized him more effectively than all the plotlines combined. What made that specific moment so impactful, though?
Arlo: it's Data's capacity for questioning his existence that resonates with me - his existential crises are so much more nuanced than just a character trait, they're a commentary on what it
Lucasw: i never got why they needed to spell it out - "he's the heart of the show" was a given by like season 2
Elinrossi: i've always been more of a worf fan myself, but data's naivety has its moments too, what's the quote though?
