Wonder if Data did that in his quarters with no one around? I know he would try to "simulate" going to bed and sleep but I think more often than not he just stood there until it was his duty shift.
@saiyaniam Arrantly? Sorry, had to point that out. I know he painted and so forth I was just talking about the times he had decide whether to "sleep" or not.
1:46 "I believe this is what ancient Earth adolescents called 'trolling.' I shall follow this action with a boisterous verbal expression of amusement condensed into 3 letters and inquire: 'Are you angry?'"
Oh excuse me I will continue to observe you. You were right. The Klingons thought it funny to put you here with me. I must observe and you needed sleep. Shall we kill them Captain? Oh right you want to do something more clever than killing. Well whatever keeps me from disturbing you.
If you would like to see the creepy stare again, check out the youtube video entitled "Data from Star Trek attempts to break my camera at Comic-Con with the Romulan Death Stare." You will love it!
i watched red dwarf when i was younger. I have just recently got into star trek an cant believe how much of star trek is used for red dwarf. Take away all star trek references from red dwarf and your left with very little
@Master0of0Blades Maybe it's because he was making no noise. When I am trying to sleep and I know someone else is in the room with me, I expect to hear some sort of movement.
I feel the old startrek was as good expelaly the next generation. The moives were much better than the new one too. The next generation was the best with or with out data and epic with data.
I would love to have a smart n' sexy android glaring at me while I sleep any day. Psh. Too bad I don't live in that future :/ I'm probably giving away my deepest darkest nerdiest thoughts -_-
@MartyredxMaiden oh no I gave into deeper darker nerdest thoughs while wacthing it. I would not mind data watching me sleep but i would insit he at least lay down and we share the ... shelf. XD
@RazFan11 i remember the first time i saw this i half expected data to do an exorcist head turn and his body still be facing picard and then ask "is this BETTER?' oh the lol
@Master0of0Blades LOL I love your comment! I was cracking up! That would be funny/a bit scary to see Data do that! I think many people probably thought that same thing when they first saw this episode, I believe I thought the same thing at the time ages ago!
@DeusExInfernus And of course there's the way he continued to stare at Picard as he SLOWLY turned around after saying "I will not look in your direction". :)
If they threw in a laughtrack it could be like a sitcom, but then that takes all of the fun out of it. I would rather think when watching something, not be told when and how to react.
this episode was on last night. i just could not stop laughing during this scene. data offers some of the best comic relief on all of television, for sure. really, there should have been a sitcom spin-off after the series ended staring data and worf....roommates in san francisco, maybe? the lolz would have been endless.
anyway.....my favourite part of this scene is when data seems to have a problem with his ability to stop staring at picard. classic.
I'm in the mental health field and this is the very best depiction of insomnia I have ever seen: Data IS my brain; he won't even sit down, let alone stop "processing files" long enough for me to relax. So he promises not to stare, but when he turns away, like poor Picard, I can feel my own whirring brain "staring" at me. though all lights are out and we are, supposedly, lying there with eyes shut.
But I can FEEL him "processing" his stupid files. Fellow insomniacs, do you relate?
u know when i saw spiner[data] in an interview he seemed rather ''proudish'' but when i dorn[worf] he seemed humorus. such an opppsite to the chracters they play.
its like in those child's play movies where the voice of the sadistic doll chucky [brad douriff] is actually very ''orthodox'' in behavior.weird but cool
I think that Picard felt Data had some homosexual tendencies. And given that he was fully functional, he was probably scared that data was going to bugger him in his sleep with that pale cybernetic dick of his.
Brilliant use of timing-- the long pauses when Picard is lying there and Data is standing motionless in the background are priceless. The timing is half the humor.
This wasn't really necessary for the plot line of the episode, but you know the writers had a fun time putting it in because it's one of those little quirks about Data that is interesting.
This scene is actually complementary to Data because Picard at this point sees him as so human that it is awkward for him to have him just standing there, and especially staring. The acting is great, I like it when Picard turns around the second time and sees him agian. Staring at someone while they sleep is kind of funny, something humans would never do, I don't think there is a single culture that would consider it appropriate behavior.
Classic bit of comedy in Star Trek TNG, with a homage back to TOS. Blink and you miss it - sometimes you wish there was more of this, and then you wonder what was the script writer thinking when he managed to get this scene in. :-)
This is just fantastic! These little things. Just great.
