Things that Never Happen On StarTrek

Not to belabor a point, but Data is supposed to be a machine, a positronic, fuel cell run, not an alien but a trying to be somewhat human AI robot. Unless I missed an episode that said he needed to 'breathe' for his power cell metabolism?

That'd be cool. I wish I could do that. But, come to think of it, does Data even breathe? I don't know.

Data breathes ?

I'm not sure wether Data needs air for his metabolism.
Maybe, because if he had to store hydrogen plus oxygen for his fuel cell, this would make to much weight and waste space in his body.
So I guess that he only has a hydrogen reservoir inside, and breathes air to get oxygen for the cell.
And may have a limited oxygen tank inside for capability of diving without extra equipment.
And very important:
Data has a built-in protection against chemical weapons. This needs a certain spare amount of oxygen.

But he must have lungs for talking. Because the sound does not come from a loudspeaker.

Data moves this mouth and his throat when talking, like a human, so I think his larynx is a artificial remake of the human vocal system, and so needs air to work. Data must have lungs even if only necessary as a pump for this.

Wesley Fun ...

1. An entire episode focusing on Wesley Crusher where he DOESN'T cause some horrible disaster.

2. T'Pol is caught surfing http://www.wilwheaton.net and is ejected from an airlock.

3. The entire TNG staff take turns beating Wesley. Picard goes twice, he's the captain after all.

 

Patrick Stewart was on the "Terry and Gabby Show" yesterday, and they made him show them how to do the old "shake when the ship is hit and the camera wobbles crap" and he told them about the different levels of shake they had to do

All very strange for a classically trained actor now doing the West End

Couple of highlights from that episode:

Scotty using the Holdeck to recreate the bridge of the original Enterprise.

When Scotty complains about the synthenol, Data gets a bottle out the "private stores" for him. When Scotty asks him what it is, Data looks at it, looks puzzled for a moment, and finally says, "It is green".
This echos the same line used by Scotty in the TOS episode "By Any Other Name", when he is trying to drink the Kelvan under the table. He too, pulls out an old bottle and has to resort to the same answer when asked what it was.

 

LOL I never thought about that.

 

* Security Teams don't get repeatedly overcome by marauding aliens boarding the ship.

** Bridge crews actually manage to stop neanderthal aliens from compromising the security lock-outs.

""" Somebody lets one go in a crowded turbo lift.

**** Paris asks the replicator for a reefer the size of a saveloy.

***** Piccard smokes it.

 

People use a bathroom.

People get angry and mutiny.

People smoke pot.

People write letters home to family.

Kirk commits suicide.

Alien life forms get anal probed by Dr. McCoy.

 

Someone sues the manufactor of the holodeck for making a piece of crap that malfunctions more often than it works.

 

the entire ship is infected by a virus and Data is the only one AFFECTED.

 

Picard lets one rip.

 

They actually say something I give a crap about.

 

Why are you watching?

 

Dr. Crusher takes her clothes off.
Troy takes her clothes off.
Ensign Rowe takes her clothes off.

 

That's because their urine is beamed directly from their bladders into space.

 

Thats happened. just not in view of the camera.
