Goodnight captain - by Starfleet boy

8/8/2016

I remember a time, when Data was very young. He came to me one one evening, the crew knew I didn’t leave my ready room until about 18:00 hours or so.

“I wonder if I could have a word with you, Captain.” he said, in his most charming-android manner. 

“Yes Data, of course, come in.” I said. I felt it was strange how formal he could often be, even after 7 years of service together and yet it was also quite perfect.

“What’s on your mind?”

“Sir, I am still confused about something and I don’t know what to do.”

I was immediately intrigued of course, he had such a fire in his eyes at that moment and I couldn’t feel anything but deep friendship and profound interest. I also had a sense of relief as I knew this conversation was on the horizon.

“Data, I have a feeling, I know where this is going.”

“Sir, I don’t think you do.”

“It’s perfectly all right to be confused, Data, we all go through it, I remember that as a young man, I myself had very confused feelings for a colleague of-“

“-Sir! It’s nothing like that.”

I misjudged the whole situation. I think I must’ve been wide eyed and visibly embarrassed at this point. I was absolutely certain Data was going to tell me he was dating a younger male crew member that I noticed he took an interest in as of late.

“Pardon me.” I then gave him the floor as it were.

“Sir, I have learned that fear is a prominent emotion for human beings and I cannot understand why this is advantageous. I have had to reprogram my emotion chip to inhibit my fear. My diagnostics show that the chip is putting out experiences of fear consistent with that of any human, yet for me, sir, it is intolerable. How do humans live with such fear?”

Compelling, I had to really think about this.

“Data, fear is something that every living being which can experience emotions is going to have to live with if its going to survive. You’re going to have to be specific if you require my accurate advice.”

“Thank you sir, for example; I came to the realization of just how fragile I actually am. Prior to gaining an emotion chip, I accepted that my body was expendable and I had no interest in being alive one way or another. Now I constantly fear that I will somehow injure myself or become fatally damaged. I am in constant fear of my surroundings.”

“Data, I keep forgetting that Humans and other species like us, have stories to help us deal with this kind of thing. But there aren’t a lot of stories about what to do if you just got feelings after not having them.”

“Fascinating, Captain, are you suggesting that my experience is somehow singular?”

“Yes and no. "The reality of data's dilemma was completely understandable to any human who had been around children or recalled their youth vividly.

"I think for human children emotions are very intense and then they even out over time with experiences, your time with emotions is probably equivalent to a what a teenager may experience on Earth. I think you should just give it time. And watch many films, vulcan melodramas are particularly interesting although I recommend Nicholas Nickleby and perhaps Four weddings and a funeral.”

Data looked at once baffled and pleased, so I knew I did something right.

“Thank you captain, may I ask what made you select these refernces in particular and-“

“-And goodnight Data.”

I smiled at him. He smiled back, “Goodnight Sir.”

In Coming of Age we focus on our favorite boy genius, Wesley Crusher. In this episode he has won the coveted chance to take the Starfleet Academy entrance Exam.

The Crew of the Enterprise drop him off at a testing facility where he will be challenged in numerous ways. There he meets four other people, a Human, a Vulcan and a Benzite and they discover that they will be competing against one another for the highest score, much like on some reality TV shows.

Meanwhile Captain Picard's old friend Admiral Quinn and his attache Lt. Commander Remmick come aboard and begin interrogating  the crew to discover any mistakes or incongruities in the mission log. What at first seems to be a witch hunt turns out to be a chance for Captain Picard to become comandante of Starfleet Acadamy. Quinn also reveals his suspicions of a conspiracy at the very core of Starfleet and possibly the Federation.

Home SOil

Home Soil is a fantastic episode about New Life! While visiting a terraforming operation, the crew of the Enterprise encounter some trouble when a member of the Terraforming team is murdered, (rather gruesomely) by what is presumed at first to be one of the other Team members.

It is soon discovered that the murder was the first strike in a war. The terraformers were assured the planet was lifeless, however a silicon based or inorganic life form existed unbeknownst to the team. The lifeforms tried desperately to communicate their existence to the team but it was dismissed as coincidence or illusion.

Captain Picard and the crew attempt to rectify the hard feelings and establish friendly relations with this new lifeform.

Tune into our discussion video above and let us know what you thought of this fascinating episode.
