One thing you gotta give Data: that dude put *his all* into his itneractions with the people he cared for. Could you imagine how this would have turned out if he'd had his Emotion Chip at this point?
he just needed some time to calibrate and it would have been fine. i still think jenna had some unrealistic expectations of him that verged on being demanding.
I cant watch this scene all the way through, good job, Brent, youre an epic actor because the social awkwardness of this scene makes me wince every ten seconds, it physically hurts to watch
3:48 Data continually uses contractions "Honey, I'm home" "I'll join you" "You're not my mother!". But when expressing himself, he uses his "Data" tone and says "You ARE not my mother." It's perfectly clear where he is delivering lines of dialogue vs expressing himself. His whole routine is a mixture of jumbled attempts to play roles with few breaks of authentic "Data" behavior. Jenna says his behavior is artificial, and not the real "Data". He says "With regards to romantic relationships, there is no 'real me'." I was expecting him to say "The real me is artificial." Kind of sums up why his behavior in this scene fails, and why their relationship can't work.
I think Jenna's problem is that she was infatuated by Data's good looks but was not patient with him enough for a relationship to work. Data is a learning computer of sorts, he's not all that different from an actual human who's entering a relationship for the first time. Yet, despite that, Data tries very hard to please her and if Jenna had been a bit more patient and stayed with Data until he got his emotion chip, he would have been the man of her dreams. Or any woman's dreams.
I love how creepy he is in this scene. He's trying so hard to act like a normal human, but he doesn't have the context or inherent emotional drives to convincingly emulate a natural person. He can't help but be "forced and artificial".
@@darania1 Oh, he totally gets a pass. He is what he is, and he can't help but act in keeping with his artificial nature. She's the one who expects him to be basically an autistic person, and it doesn't work out well for her when his emotional shortcomings become too prominent for her to keep ignoring.
@@darania1lmao this was one of the most relatable data episodes for me because, as someone with asperger's, i have definitely been him in this scenario. for sure one of my favorite episodes.
@k_a_y_l_e_e My BFF has Aspies & basically has no filter & just bluntly speaks his mind. It can be highly entertaining or embarassing depending on the social situation!
the BEST part of that dialog was at the end but it cut - where she asks data to say what he was thinking during the kiss - well he was thinking about a LOT ... only one thing though was about her - the correct lip pressure to apply ...
Data was superb in this episode, all around. I don't think Jenna really understood the magnitude of what he did for her. Im glad he actually didn't have real feelings because she was rebounding from her previous relationship. Brent Spinner was again , superb.
@@Tyrantresister I think it is 2.06, "A Happy Refrain". Their relationship is an arc in season 3. I won't go into it for spoilers. They also had a take on Gordie's "real person halo romance" and "meeting your halo crush" with Gordon in seasons 2 and 3.
I’m going through a rewatch of TNG. I have rewatched a couple episodes over the year but this is the first time I do a complete chronological rewatch. And, although this show is extremely memorable, I am noticing a couple of fun Mandela effects: for example, I remembered this scene but I was sure Data said "Do not compare me to my father!" Which, if I dare say so myself, may be even funnier given how nonsensical it is.
Data acting like what he thinks a bf should act like is no different than how people act when they begin a relationship lol
He tries too hard, though.
@@Elly3981 no way, he was awesome here!
He turns into Lore when he hams it up. Hilarious.
I fucking love when he hams it up. Ham, ham, ham it up.
They are brothers, so they're bound to be alike in some ways. Good thing they just share a face and charisma.
"I believe I am the most fortunate sentient in this sector of the galaxy." I really want someone to say this to me lmao ❤️
Reading this comment was so good that I believe I am the most fortunate sentient in this sector of the galaxy😍😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@niiii_niiii Lmao thank you 🤭💘
"IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! NOT HER. IT'S NOT FAIR."
I need a hot date with Data all the time. He can do everything he would like to do for me. Such an amazing being.
Didn't know that Data could pull off such a sexy smile, lol.
As weird as this is, it still isn't as weird as Data trying to "steal" Riker's beard.
XD

Even without the chip, Data can at least act passionate. With the chip, he would really mean it.
"Honey I'm home!!" That was cute
With a briefcase, to boot! 😂
Perhaps there is something wrong with you!!! I laugh my ass off every single time!!!!!
In Dr. Soong's image!
😂 always enjoyed that part also
Me too. Tried that line on many a females.
He’s trying too hard but I think it’s so sweet of him.
he just needed some time to calibrate and it would have been fine. i still think jenna had some unrealistic expectations of him that verged on being demanding.
Is it just me or Jenna D'Sora/Michele Scarabelli is basically a doppeldänger of Sarah Connor/Linda Hamilton?
To think that Datas little song there became the base for Data&Picard pogo. It's amazing
Yeah, this is the clip he used
What song is it? Is it English? Italian? Vulcan?
@@ObiWanBillKenobi It’s an Italian opera song
@@lykos832f5 What is the title?
@@ObiWanBillKenobi The title of the song is Che Gelida Manina

You will have a hard time with some Orville episodes. Some are completely made of wince.
Wow, didn't realize Brent had such a sexy smile, lol.
"Perhaps there is something wrong with you!!" Lmfao

@maemorti I totally agree you can see when the real data is talking vs his idea of what he should be saying
I love how creepy he is in this scene. He's trying so hard to act like a normal human, but he doesn't have the context or inherent emotional drives to convincingly emulate a natural person. He can't help but be "forced and artificial".
Cut Data some slack for his android Aspies...😊
@@darania1 Oh, he totally gets a pass. He is what he is, and he can't help but act in keeping with his artificial nature.

I also try to emulate a natural person.

Patrick Bateman
Patrick Stewart
is Data talking about makeup sex at the end there? That was the purpose of the entire program all along wasn't it!! lol
He used a contraction 4 times this scene.
:O
He's a Romulan!
I need somebody to build me an Android boyfriend.
I wouldn't say no to him x wolf whistle data is gorgeous and the man who played him brent spiner is gorgeous at 72 now
Brent Spiner had such a sexy smile!
the BEST part of that dialog was at the end but it cut - where she asks data to say what he was thinking during the kiss - well he was thinking about a LOT ... only one thing though was about her - the correct lip pressure to apply ...
Now I see why the colonists were afraid of Lore.
Data was superb in this episode, all around. I don't think Jenna really understood the magnitude of what he did for her. Im glad he actually didn't have real feelings because she was rebounding from her previous relationship. Brent Spinner was again , superb.
Hey, Data, why don't show me some of those techniques you were programmed for?
This is me when I have a date...
Haha, Data IS "forced and artificial". He's an android!
Right? I think it’s sweet of him how he’s trying though.
When an Android is smoother than any human on the ship.
And has such a sexy smiile.
It was creepy even at the beginning having him pretend to be someone else.
Data at his cringiest
Data was scary like Lore here. :(
3:07 he would've reeled me in, that would've been it for me 🤣
The Orville take on this episode is also great.
Name of episode?
@@Tyrantresister I think it is 2.06, "A Happy Refrain".
Their relationship is an arc in season 3. I won't go into it for spoilers.

Oh so sweet and gorgeous what a casanova
Wow, I didn't know that Data (Brent Spiner) had such a sexy smile!
I love his style here. He really did put effort into making the relationship work.
The fact that she used the word artificial as criticism
I think it's actually romantic him helping her straighten up her quarters.

Michelle Scarabelli was awesome. :)
WHAT'S that thing on Datas' back at 2:27!!!! O_o ALIEN!!!
I noticed that! It looks like a device where a character is shot or stabbed and whoever is doing it has to aim for that spot!
In this case I think it was just the hidden zipper bunching up.
As a writer you want to think most of it was on the page.. but my suspicion is that a lot of this was Brent
legend
I loved this episode
Data looks creepy and horney.
2:10 What song is Data singing? Is it English? Italian? Vulcan?
Italian. It's an aria from Puccini's opera La Boheme.
You don't tell me how to behave! You are not my creator!
I was waiting 6 years for data to hook up with Cmdr Shelby. She knows how to bang her way to the top.
What type of drink did she request?
This is so awkward to watch. Lol
Date a Picard date a data data's date don data
Terrible video quality
