Once again thinking about this photo of Brent Spiner in the makeup chair for TNG because maybe it's just me but this is a modern renaissance painting.

My take away from Next Gen so far

[muffinrag]

sometimes Data will be looking at something he's never seen before, and he'll get transfixed, and do tiny, mechanical motions with his head - just little twitches. almost birdlike. im completely obsessed with him. how did spiner absolutely nail pretending to be a machine

holmes, whatever the case is.

i’m looking at the way data interacts with children and i think he’s completely meant to be a parent, or a parent figure. this isn’t a claim i have made about literally any character ever, but i feel like it’s true for him. he’s just so kind, and so willing to connect and explain and protect. he doesn’t take offense to children acting childishly, nor does he restrict them because they’re “only children”. he’s patient, but not condescending. he won’t dumb anything down, but he’ll elaborate as much as they need as long as they ask. he makes genuine effort to understand their perspectives and thoughts, and treats children as actual, sentient, intelligent beings. he’s willing to have actual engaging conversations with them. he’s never dismissive, and you can tell he’s genuinely interested in what kids have to say. however, he’s not overly lenient. he’s willing to admit his faults, but he will make a kid take accountability for their own actions. he’ll establish rules and boundaries, teach important life lessons, provide guidance and mentorship - in fewer words, he is literally the best father figure a kid could ask for.
