Would data produce sperm - I guess so... probably to lubricate his bio-functions. [Smile]

Was that a joke, or something? I don't get it.

Data's name is Data..as in "Day-ta", not "Da-ta"...thats the only thing ever mentioned about his name ever at all. So yes, that was a sarcastic gesture at the fact that his name cant really be anything else but data, or the guy playing data, ol' brent 'money grubbin' spiner.

Completely off-topic as regards what we were discussing, though. We were talking about the character, not the actor.

The character wouldnt be the character he was without the actor who plays him; and just out of curiousity what is this topic about...i see:

quote:
I remember in "Measure of a Man" - that Data was named Date NMN NLN or something for Data, no middle name, no last name.

Data was just "Data" in that episode...and wait...how is data having lubriderm sperm or whatever anymore on topic?

Shortly after Riker is forced to be the prosecution council, he looks up Data's file. In the top corner it says:

DATA NMI NLN

Meaning (presumably) No Middle Initial and No Last Name.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I thought it was from his personnel record in "Conundrum". Or was it in both?

And was it "Data NMI NLN", or "Data, NFN NMI"? I thought it was the latter.

Thinking about it, I think you're right, and it's the second one.

I only remember seeing it in "Measure of a Man", but it's quite likely to be in "Conundrum" too.

Thankyou Liam. Knew it was not "just Data".

Read the Star Trek compendium by Larry Nemecek - a wealth of info.
