honestly closer to Mr. Data. Spock had emotions that were repressed; Data thought he didn't have them and had to discover them, as they were relatively weak.

- lcuff 6y agoI believe Data actually needed an 'emotion chip'. I recall some episode where he received one. Sometimes I think that's a pretty good description of most men (we need an emotion chip). I say that as a man, FYI.
- dnautics 6y agoIf you have time in the covid pandemic SIP era, go back and watch the episodes, it was a running gag that he would do something extremely human, downright emotional, and not realize it. Couple of examples off the top of my head: "The ensigns of command", final scene, where Data says goodbye to Gosheven; "Data's Day", where he proclaims that if he had 'gut feelings' he would be suspicious of the 'vulcan ambassador'; "In theory" where Data 'learns' some "toxic male" emotional behaviour by consuming media.
- throwanem 6y ago"The Most Toys" is another very good example, as is "The Measure of a Man". There's not much in TNG, especially early TNG, that strongly moves me, but his conversation with Riker in the latter episode's coda never fails to.
