Felis Catus is your taxonomic nomenclature An endothermic quadruped carniverous by nature Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses. I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations A singular development of cat communications That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection. A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display Denote a fairly well developed cognitive array And though you are not sentient, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend

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.

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.

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.

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.

So that actually managed to make me tear up.

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."

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.

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.

Spot will live!

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.

my god...this is such a precious scene! I actually teared up a little!

Aww, Data feels, such sweet Data feels!

I remember when I saw this in the theater and everyone swooned.

This scene could have been just as gut wrenching as it is heart warming.

I love that to find this all I had to do was type Data and its like the first thing that pops up.

damnit..another feel trip >.< I love Data

This is all I need to see to know that if I ever meet Data for real, he and I will get along just fine.

They mention Spot again in ST Picard after all these years. Made me cry.

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."

This makes me cry every damn time

Here after Picard S3E9. What an awesome feeling

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!

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.

D'aww, I really like this scene, but apparently Brent said in an interview it would have been better if he found Geordi instead! :)

I remember people in the theater were happy to see spot reunited with data

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...

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.

Hope you finish the series at some point. *as Data* I'm quite sure you will find it... acceptable.
