dumb writing though. Data has an almost limitless storage capacity and ability to interface directly with the computer, not even requiring a holodeck. In a matter of minutes he could access and store every dictionary, encyclopedia, and history book on the ship's computer and would already understand idioms and their etymology, just as he knows the word etymology. He also wouldn't "forget" to repeat "midnight oil" expression after just a few seconds and repeat it back wrong. They did better in later seasons.

If someone occasionally serves as acting commander a ranking commander might refer to them as commander if they have respect for the junior officer especially if they have already demonstrated good judgement under pressure and they are qualified to be a commander but need to rank up to 'officially' be a commander. Traditionally to be a commander of a vessel it's not written in stone to have a certain minimum rank. A LT could be put in command of a ship and go on a mission tho often they would be given a promotion to deal with the technicalities especially in time of war.

I believe the idea (at the time) was that he was more relatable, being a hardy family man.

This is time travel at its best. Not a plot to save the universe from destruction, but the sheer magic of visiting a different era. You can see Picard enjoying this moment so much, and just marveling at how far Data has come. This moment, right here, is something that can never happen in reality. The closest we can come is watching old videos of ourselves or our friends. But we can never step back there and ~be~ in those moments again. Picard gets this extraordinary chance to do exactly that, and Stewart's acting here really captures the wonder Picard feels in that moment. And then, like a bubble floating on the spring air, Picard realizes that there's work to do, so he steps in and interrupts their conversation (and spares the good O'Brien further bafflement). The moment is passed. Q said that the moment when Data realized the paradox was the breakthrough moment, but I think this moment was more important, and more mind-expanding.

Picard's expression at the end is like. "Great, I get Data's expertise, but now I have to reteach him all the shit we already went through."

By the time the "big things" (like the Dominion war) happen on DS9, TNG had already ended pretty much. Also, Worf was pretty much transferred to DS9 right after the Events of Generations, which in turn is not much after the TNG finale itself. The Marquis arc also sort of crosses over in both series, being mentioned mostly in late TNG, while in DS9 its mostly dealt with in the early seasons only, which as I said is the same timespan in-universe.

randOmZ TV DS9 is definitely worth it, even though its a bit different than TNG. It has a lot more deep thought and with the dominion war it gets very dark by trek standards, but thats what makes it so enjoyable. Voyager is kinda meh, its TNG 2.0, except theyre stranded in the delta quadrant, which hardly plays a role, since half the episodes might as well have been TNG.

this is the kind of scene that was endearing when the show was new, but years later you realize it's a plot hole large enough to drive a truck through: Data is a Lt Cmdr, raising slowly through the ranks, as well as attended star fleet. He would already understand if not know every specific idiom. Also he's be able to access the etymology of the idiom on his own. It does remind of the original series when Kirk mentioned the past time of dipping girls ponytails into ink wells and Spock was quizzical. Of course back in the 60s, that was only a little bit of an old fashion reference but clearly in the future, doubtful there was even pens.

Want an even earlier reference? Potholes. Over a thousand years ago people dug up the earth for clay to make pots out of, that's where it comes from. Not idioms? Fine, but these are: clean slate, pot calling the kettle black, once in a blue moon, head in the clouds, know the ropes, show someone the ropes, all of these are several hundred (or even thousand) years old idioms. I find it easy to believe if these are still a thing, burning the midnight oil would be a thing too in just 400 years.

Those that can accept that take on the harder task of supressing their urges to classify and categorize. This is a big issue with man/woman, black/white.

Yumidori Iro Starfleet doesn’t update Data’s systems/database at all- Data knowledge comes through learning and experiences. The only time he was ‘force fed’ information was when Soong uploaded the logs and journals of the colonists on Omicron Theta.

"Due to a costuming error, Data wears Lieutenant Junior Grade insignia in the 2364 portion of this episode. This is despite the fact that he is referred to as Commander and the fact that he wore Lieutenant Commander insignia in "Encounter at Farpoint", during which that part of the episode is set."

This was in the season finale, when Picard was jumping through time, this was taking place in the pilot episode time, and Picard got used to saying command over the years.

Worked on the show Threshold. '05 I think, can't remember exactly. Cancelled after one season. Spiner is a great guy.

Ah shucks, I was hoping for a compilation.

Love how Picard bailed O'Brien out

This is interesting because, as we all know, autistic people do have emotions. This could mean that Data too has emotions and just thinks that he doesn't. He certainly has ambitions which count as emotions in my book. Maybe he was perceived by everyone as emotionless because of his behaviour and his origin and started to believe it himself but it was actually never true.

I love this theory, I think so myself ngl. Data is distinctly human in a way I can't fully lay my finger on, even though some social norms are alien to him and he comes across as stiff.

More kids got access to the internet. When I was younger, people normally were not able to stay online for long periods of time. This was even more so for kids. Today I see kids have smartphones, laptops and tablet computers capable of going on the internet. Even a cheap computer used to be thousands of dollars (relevance to inflation).

1:13 - Oooh! Data, this is not a time for rush decisions!

The glitch at the end makes it even better

Why wasn't Data programmed with every idiomatic expression there is? Why didn't his programmer just sit down and think "well, he knows English, I might as well insert some everyday phrases so that he might at least get along with others"?

Don't forget that data's memory was wiped. His initial memories are an analysis of colonist logs, journals, and reports. If none of them used it, and he hadn't yet encountered it, then he didn't know it.

And it would be unfeasible for him to have the entire Starfleet database in his head. I think people keep thinking he has a constant connection to the computers, but he doesn't really. He's basically loading an app instead of having everything running in the background at once. It could even be a design feature to mimic how people have to think about things they normally don't.

Why did Lt. CMR Data in the first season and here have a Junior Lieutenants rank insignia?

Because this came from the final episode when Picard was time shifting and perhaps the screenwriters somehow forgot that they have shown Data with the Lt. Commander Insignia since he came on board the Enterprise at FarPoint (the first TNG Episode), Who knows, one can argue that Q is the one helping to timeshift Picard back and forth as part of his game, and it didn't matter what insignia are people wearing anways.

Since this is a Q-inspired delusion, some details could get messed up. Maybe Q’s way of playing with Picard, only, Picard didn’t catch it. And, maybe, Picard did catch it, but because he knew Q was responsible, it didn’t matter to him, cause it was a small detail

Non-canon but the books say Data was promoted to Lt. Cmdr upon assignment to the Ent. So he may have just not put the full pips on, or maybe his promotion wasn't in effect until the next pay period.

Picard's expressions in this one are amazing haha

Start - Picard - Amused intrigue End - Picard - 'Oh Lord!'

You'd think Data would just download their version of Wikipedia so these kinds of things wouldn't confuse him constantly. Also seems pretty amateur to not understand that you can't swap words in idioms.

Actually, it wouldn't blow the ship up. See, if he attempted to ignite a patroleum product at 0000 hours, he would activate the fire supression system, which would seal off that entire compartment.

Me: *has been igniting the midnight petroleum to watch more youtube all week*

I like how much attention they paid to reproducing all the details of the season 1 Enterprise for this episode. Even the crewman in the background wearing the "skant" uniform that disappeared almost immediately as soon as the series started

"Ignite the midnight petroleum" - Priceless!

Oil lamps, Data. They probably had some reserve of oil for lighting when you had to see to work at midnight.

yup! LOL, Data and Picard's relationship always was great.

Keen observation. In much of Star Trek, these traditions are observed. It's only in the third person (and occasionally in introductions) that the full rank is spoken, ex: "Lieutenant Commander so-and-so has just transfered from the USS Whatever"

Picard's reaction at the end is priceless

Love Picard's reaction at the end

O'Brien was thinking, "Data looks good in yellow. I think I should rock it, too."

i love this part

Good old-school first season tight O'Brien curls.

Data: Precious Child of the Enterprise.

0:47 Back when they still used minis, those were the days...

I'm going to start using that phrase "ignite the midnight petroleum".

O'Brien's persistent expression of "wtf" throughout makes me smile. :)

God I love this scene

I love that so much!

Forgotten this episode. Picard looks like he’s seeing an old friend in Data having just met.

This clip made me want to watch "All Good Things..." again.

@TheWeepingCorpse You have to watch it with the original commercials to get the correct feel for the times. It is important to watch the show through the "lense" in which it was origianally filtered through.

It is a great pickup line.

"It appears we will be required ti ignite the midnight petroleum sir". "What's this 'WE' Lieutenant Commander...?"

It was great seeing O'Brien run engineering here. He should have been made chief engineer of the ship. Though I think in the original timeline Picard did not know of O'Brien's full engineering abilities.

Data wasn't hooked up to google but I can see him telling this to people, well a few words of it before being cut off. What's the origin of the phrase 'Burning the midnight oil'? The first person known to have referred to 'the midnight oil' in print was the English author Francis Quarles wrote in Emblemes, 1635: Wee spend our mid-day sweat, or mid-night oyle; Wee tyre the night in thought; the day in toyle. At that time there was a verb for working late by candlelight - elucubrate. Henry Cockeram defined that in his The English dictionary, or an interpreter of hard English words, 1623: "Elucubrate, to doe a thing by candlelight." Clearly, we no longer have much call for that word and it has fallen out of use. Although it is probably some years since anyone needed to do it in reality the phrase 'burning the midnight oil' is still in everyday use. Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton released an album called The Right Combination/Burning the Midnight Oil, in 1972.

@mattrogers5188

Today, elucubrate means "to work out or express by studious effort," according to Merriam-Webster.

The military courtesy of the Federation is interesting. There is no ten-hut, or salute. People just talk normally to each other. The rank is used to give orders, although position should have the same effect. Basically, they treat each other as professionals and respect each other's abilities. In the present military structure, that does not happen, as higher ranking officials may think they know more than lower ranking officials or NCOs, even if they do not dominate their areas of expertise.

It seems that we will be required to Ignite the midnight petroleum sir. New favorite line :)
