Data is an android who does not have the same limitations of joint flexibility or fatigue that humans do. He also does not need to rehearse anything to learn it. If he does it right once, he can duplicate the same pattern endlessly. It would be more interesting to see him play a wind instrument, since he doesn't normally have to breathe.
@@YD-uq5fi Data won’t tire, true, but the violin is not an android. The strings only vibrate and the body only resonates the correct pitches and timbres if the bow is properly drawn across it while the fingers are positioned and under appropriate tension. Because Data does none of those things, the violin will not.
@@Keithustus I wouldn't say his finger position is wrong. Also remember that underneath his skin, he doesn't have the same muscles and ligaments, and can exert force from his touch in directions that would seem unreal to humans. He can probably do Bruce Lee's 'one inch punch' effortlessly, as an example. As I said, far more interesting would to see Data play a wind instrument.
Either its the saturation of the footage or they actually colored Mark Lenards hair almost lilac. Maybe thats the vulcan equivalent of graying? It turns violet?
Yeah, its FX. I guess the actual teardrop (you can see it) was not visible enough, so they had to make one in post production. Its a so-so animation to be honest. Not entirely successful.

Perrin : "Tattaglia would be lovely"

It was Barzini all along 🤣
Ouch. My eyes hurt. As a violinist I simply cannot watch Data “playing” the violin he gimply holds while it supposedly makes such wonderful sound.
"His hands were moving faster than I could see"

I remember this. It verifies what I have always thought about the power of music, classical or otherwise.
Classical music is one of my favorite genres of music, and Star Trek reinforced it.

I can support that!
Yes, green blood, purple old wise hair
Wait did they cgi a tear drop???
It's an old actor's trick to put a mild astringent into the eye just before filming. It causes the eye to water (like onion juice).
It's just because Lenard is so still in that shot, makes it look like it's a still of him with a tear composited on.
