This girl totally fumbled the perfect guy. He's curious, non-judgmental, intelligent, successful, and romantic. He is constantly checking in and asking questions. He genuinely wants to be with her. He'll always listen to her boundaries, and he'll never get jealous or cheat. Girl, what a waste. 🙄
But he doesn't experience "romance" the same way humans do. He is capable of simulating romance down to a T, but he doesn't exactly do it out of romance. His dating her would be less of a fulfilling and happy decision and more of an interesting experience to learn from. For some that wouldn’t be important, but as someone who just got out of a relationship where the guy doesn’t reciprocate her feelings, him going through all the motions of a relationship and not really feeling the same way as her wasn't enough.
@@meanyapickles I think that Data is capable of love since he's shown many times that he's capable of caring for others more than himself. The problem with Jenna is that she was attracted to Data's good looks but wasn't patient enough to really get to know and understand him. If Jenna had stayed with Data until he got his emotion chip, he would have been the man of her dreams.
Well, Data is physically attractive to women despite his unusual skin and eye color. Brent Spiner was also quite handsome without all that chalky white makeup and creepy yellow contacts in real life too, lol.
@@Elly3981 Geordi is handsome too. You just can't tell it with the visor covering his face. One of the things on the face that is most attractive to people is the eyes
part of her issue was she didn't know what she wanted but also expected everything from her boyfriend. she needed to do a lot of inner work becasue she was trying to use men to fill the void of inadequacy she felt.
Can't stand her. She doesn't understand the first thing about him. He deserves better than her. He is trying so hard to please her and she doesn't put any effort in at all.
brendalg4 I was thinking the same during the whole episod ! Data was really putting efforts into the relationship, like dedicating a huge amount of his internal resources to the romantic routine. I think that says a lot about his involvement ! IMHO he would be a fantastic mate to someone who perfectly understands what dating an android encompasses. One shouldn't ask Data something he genuinly can't provide - better stick to what he can provide instead ! That's basically how real relationships IRL work. You should always love your SO for who they are, not what you would like them to be.
Yes expecting him to show evidence of how he feels when he has no emotions or to have nothing on his mind but her when he performs 60 trillion operations per second are totally unrealistic expectations.
Not many men consult cultural and literary sources to help define their role in romantic relationships. All she is doing is coming up with questions that will push her away from him... stuff she should have known before even dating him.
brendalg4 So true ! I dunno your opinion, but the scene that shocked me most in this episod is when she entered while he was painting...told him he could keep doing his stuff...and then got mad at him ! Even IRL it's counterproductive to use so much double speech... Damn, that girl hasn't the slighest clue about how to properly interact with Data !
That is what women do though.. tell the man to keep doing stuff then be mad when they do. You will see this type of scene on many shows. This is why men say it is so hard to understand women. They say one thing but they mean another. So in this case, sorry to say, Data would have to learn to live with it. It is hard for men to understand women, and it would be even harder for Data since he takes everything literally. I just read where someone said they could meet up after Data got his emotion chip and I was like no way.. she does not deserve him! She doesn't try to learn who he is at all.. she is only concerned about her own needs. What shocked me the most was when she says she left an unemotional man and got in a relationship with a man completely incapable of emotion. Said she did not realize it until that day. Well duh.. if you are that super needy as she appears to be, why go out on date #1 with an android without emotion? I would have thought everyone on the ship would have some knowledge of Data after all he is always saving their lives. She just seems to me like she must be the dumbest woman on the ship. She's got the best mate and can't even figure it out because she is too wrapped up in herself. To me the saddest moment was when he said he would delete the appropriate program. I thought you put all that work into the program, there is a girl out there that will appreciate it.. don't delete it!
Definitely!! It would have added so much to his life and understanding of humanity. The right woman would have added so much to his life! Also, would have been funny if it had happened during the show, as he'd be the ONLY one of the main characters to be currently married. I always thought it was kind of funny that we've already seen more of his family members than some of the other characters.
@GoddessPallasAthena I think it would be tragic for Data to fall for a human woman since he would have been forced to watch her age and die while he stayed young and handsome since he's practically an ageless robot that could live for centuries.
I don't understand why everybody is so hard on Jenna. I love Data, too, and how much effort he put into this, and think that he needs someone who just accepts his android characteristics, but for heaven's sake, it is completely understandable (I'd say, normal!) that she wants to be together with a man who can love her back. She went in there with false expectations and didn't think it through beforehand. But this doesn't make her a bad person, it's simply human.
False expectations is one thing, but she was in complete denial. She liked him but didn't stop to think that he was an android. If she knew him well enough to have a crush on him, then she'd know how literally he takes things and how unemotional he is. She didn't like _him,_ she liked the _idea_ of him. Regardless, it isn't fair to make demands you know your partner can't meet and then break up with them for it. She knew from day one that he was an android and yet expected him to be a man.
@@snackpack3787 It's not insane to hope that while kissing him he might say he thought about this changing their future, to which she could say "Isn't that love?" Which, eh. And it didn't happen, but she's not stupid for hoping.
@DrFlaggstaff it is if he's an android. People in the future are going to get really upset when they realize their expensive sex bots don't care if they're dead or alive.
@@snackpack3787 I think Jenna's problem was that she was attracted to Data's good looks but wasn't patient enough to really get to know or understand him. I think that Ard'rian from "Ensigns of Command" would have been a better girlfriend for Data since she shows genuine interest in him as a person and his android abilities and not just the fact that he was handsome.
He doesn't understand humans or relationships but he is trying, even going as far to create his own 'relationship protocol file' for her. She should just accept his inhuman quirks and enjoy the fact that an attractive android competent in several pleasure techniques is bedding her. Takes all the arguments and difficulties of a 'normal' relationship out of the equation. I'd say she was on a win!
the comments are just filled with women who would love a dude who understands boundaries, is willing to communicate and learn, and won't cheat. The bar is low, ladies. That's the bare minimum.
To me Data is way more attractive than the men portrayed in Star Trek. There isn't even one man I would prefer to Data (in all Star Trek series). Honestly. It's because he has no nasty masculine qualities. I rather don't get why Picard and Riker are popular.
I think he'd be the best boyfriend ever! He'd do anything you want and not to be a total bitch but you wouldn't have to fulfill his needs either. And multi-tasking isn't so bad even when your doing romantic things.
After reading all the comments ,, I feel way more validated in my opinions about this episode. While Jenna is only human and an insecure one at that ,, it bugs me how she acted with him. Data is a wonderful man , and she just wasn’t the girl for him. Even in the first scene when he shows up with flowers after asking all his friends their advice,, he opens his arms for a hug and she ignores it and steps away. That is clear body language. If a girl doesn’t let you hug her ,, there is a problem. Data, despite his lack of emotion, is kind gentle , intelligent, creative, and completely devoted to those he cares,( see his explanation of friends and relationships,)about. He is also very easy on the eyes. He is not far off from being the perfect Man. I do feel bad for Brent Spinner , the actor who played Data ,, during the show he received tons of love letters from fans ,, Women all over could see how fantastic of a individual that Data was,,, seems only Jenna, could not
I think it would be great to date Data, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that that he would do his best to be the perfect boyfriend. Also he's just an interesting being to be around in general.
I hated this character; she was an emotional mess, and expected an android to behave like one of her previous sappy boyfriends. I was so pleased when data stated he would delete the appropriate program of their relationship
I'm kind of necro-ing this, but the episode was "In Theory" and the girl's name was Lt. Jenna D'Sora, played by Michele Scarabelli, who played the wife (forgot her name) in Alien Nation TV show.

@@meanyapickles saaame lol
@meanya4687 Data could reciprocate romantic feelings with his emotion chip installed, but at this point, he doesn't have it yet.
@@meanyapickles I think that Data is capable of love since he's shown many times that he's capable of caring for others more than himself.

Never stop thinking about new food supplements for spot.
priority
"I can't believe this robot is acting like a robot!"
I can't be the only one who finds it funny that Data has more luck with women than Jordi.
It's the visor
Geordi
It's not funny, it's sad

@@brendalg4 Yes, Geordi is handsome too but I'm guessing some women might find Data's unusual skin and eye color exotic and be more attracted to that.
the fact that she thought he was human enough to feel love is a complement to his programing
What does she expect? He can perform millions of calculations per second. It's not like he's never going to have other things on his mind.
*60 trillion
@@brendalg4 I mean millions would still not be incorrect
@@brendalg4😂😂 why do trillions when we can do... millions?
part of her issue was she didn't know what she wanted but also expected everything from her boyfriend. she needed to do a lot of inner work becasue she was trying to use men to fill the void of inadequacy she felt.
He is the cutest!!💛
I love how she says "kiss me" and he just goes for it xD
We all know he was really thinking about Tasha.
I was thinking of that, I though he was going to say " at this time I was thinking of my bae Tashie"
TRUEEE WAAHAHA
He was thinking about scanning for life forms
the way his voice trails off at the end
lol data with an emotion chip would be a sexy beast!
He is too adorable! I would love to be his girlfriend
So would I lol 😂
Same here! 😂

You know, for a guy who rarely ever shows emotions, he's kissed A LOT of girls lol
I just love Data!
Reconfigering the warp field..
Data has some quality lines.
Most men would be speechless when asked suddenly, "what are you thinking?"
This is for me one of the most hilarious moments in TV history, beating most comedy TV series. I have laughed to tears rolling my body over the floor.

Exactly. As Tasha Yar noted, Data is a "jewel", a sparkling, in his own words, "fully functional" man.

Data gets more women than all the other men on board because he plays hard to get and is non threatening. Ha!😄
and when a guy in japan gets a robot to kiss him that makes him a weirdo, double standards.
That's a robot, not a sentient android.
Thanks! This was precisely what I was looking for, down to the second. 😁
I believe I am the most fortunate sentient in the galaxy!

Team Data. He was mentally multitasking, and her ego got crushed.
He was glitching there at the end. Data, we are not fooled!
Is that Sarah Conner? lol
Damn, I'm jealous :(
Poor data
is that Linda Hamilton
just cue up behind me
Just... Q up behind me...
I wish I was that productive! X-D
@ashley04878 i dont think he wuld be a bad boyfriend. i wuld try to adapt to his intelligence and help him all i culd with human ways of life. :)
Wish that was me lol
charles dickins....
ok.....
that scared me abit
She just came off a bad breakup with a toaster
@VigilanteNighthawk i don't think it's funny at all, it makes perfect sense to me, the droid is sex with legs.
Still think he missed out on Isharra… 😂
Shit, you're right...
ITS DAY[9] !!!
@puckmarin The episode's called "In Theory". I don't remember her name, but she's Data's girlfriend in this episode.
Jenna D'sora

Jenna ist undankbar. Data gibt sich so viel Mühe.
What episode is this from and who is Data kissing?
I'm kind of necro-ing this, but the episode was "In Theory" and the girl's name was Lt. Jenna D'Sora, played by Michele Scarabelli, who played the wife (forgot her name) in Alien Nation TV show.
If they hadn't killed Data off it would have been cool for her to run back into him again now that he has his emotion chip!
what's the chicks name ?
@Puckmarin I think her name is jenna/liuetenant desora:)
@KatharinaF1 I get what you're saying. My friend is OBSESSED with him.
>.> I'm with Spock all the way...
What episode was that?
The episode was “ In Theory”
ja an adroit! See TNG Star Trek!
@nightwing245 nope that's not her.
Does anyone with ADHD really get Data in this scene?
Do I want to know what happens if he miscalculates the maximum pressure he can safely apply to a woman's lips?? o.O
no a android
Noooooo waaaaa GROS
But how is sunny Data.
