[Image: Six gifs. 1) Troi explains to Picard: “They are related to the Vulcans, but as each race developed, their differences grew wider. 2) Troi and Riker are in disguise as Mintakans. Troi says: “A very sensible people. For example, Mintakan women precede their mates.” 3) Mirasta Yale, surprised, says “What are you?” Deanna replies: “We’ve come with some very important information.” 4) Picard says “Counselor, what are these beings trying to tell us?” Deanna replies: “They’re calling for help”. 5) Deanna says: “We’ve been thinking in three dimensions. We have to get two-dimensional!” 6) Preparing for a meeting, Picard says: “Say the greeting again?” Deanna replies: “Yew-cheen chef-faw. Emphasis on the ‘cheen’ and the ‘faw’.”]

I will never be able accept that Data didn’t feel some form of emotion. I think he experienced emotions in a very different and non-human way and he was unable to recognise them for what they were because they weren’t comparable to human experiences. Data’s clear cut idea of human emotion vs android logic doesn’t pan out when you look at his ability to develop a personality and friendships and to make personal choices and form opinions and experience curiosity and longing. All it does is raise the question of what emotion actually IS and whether it’s solely a chemical experience or if emotions are largely just trends of thoughts and behaviours based on a unique personal combination of knowledge and experience.
