She reveals that one thing she and Soong couldn't possibly have anticipated was that Data didn't mind being naked, although some of the colonists certainly did as he is anatomically correct. The Soongs asked him to dress, but he didn't feel it was necessary as he didn't "suffer from the elements." With a laugh, Juliana concludes that they had to resort to writing a modesty subroutine just so Data would keep his clothes on.

Fun fact: Odo runs around naked 100% of the time.

Doesn't Odo lose his *surprising ability for part of the show? I imagine he had to start wearing clothes.

Edit: *shapeshifting... I feel like autocorrect made the sentence better. I like it and it kind of works so I'm leaving it.

Yes; he said that the real clothes itched, and Garak said that's the wool, you'll get used to it.

[-] Odelay42@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

"surprising ability" haha. I love that autocorrect.

[-] one_knight_scripting@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Edited, lol. Autocorrect actually did me a favor this time.

As was Anya in The Dauphin

Wesley noticed.

When you stop to think about it, we are all naked in front of the eyes of the Prophets, my child

As a child of the 20th century, so did I.

They should have raised him on a nudist colony. With all the other whacky "human" colonies out there I bet at least one of them hangs dong all day long.

"People will be naked in the future and no one will care" was such a common sci-fi trope by the 1980s that I'm actually surprised they didn't have censor-friendly naked people on TNG at times.

When he lets one nipple out it means he’s in the mood.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

His poor ear looks like it's been infected with space ticks, though.

[Insert SpongeBob diaper meme pointing out the Edo people, Betazoid weddings, Ferengis' treatment of females, that time Lwaxana took Alexander to a holodeck mud bath, "decontamination" on Enterprise, etc.]

It took an arrest and restraining order to get me to stop so in comparison data was already being modest

Why did they give an information robot genitals?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Mostly so that they could come up with an excuse for him and Tasha to bump uglies.

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

If you're gong to make a robot you might as well make one that fucks.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
