| Jul 31, 2022 at 16:58 | comment | added | Anthony X | @RubelliteFae I would assume that rather than refilling some specific tank with some specific substance, he ingests some innocuous raw material from which he internally manufactures/replenishes various consumables. In "Deja Q" he tells Q that he occasionally ingests "a semi-organic nutrient suspension in a silicone-based liquid medium". | |
| Sep 4, 2021 at 7:07 | comment | added | Rubellite Fae | Moreover, if he's "fully functional," does that mean he has a seminal tank that needs periodic refilling? If so, you know at some point he's having it filled at a replicator and has one of his classic awkward Data encounters when someone asks what he's up to. Listen, if they didn't want us discussing these intricacies, they wouldn't have written such a weird thing that into the episode. Hell, the whole episode is just weird, why do the men get aggressive, but the women get horny? | |
| Sep 4, 2021 at 7:01 | comment | added | Rubellite Fae | John C may be right, but look at cutting edge robots today and how many of them are suped up love dolls? It's not inconceivable that he was built specifically as a fuck-bot. | |
| Aug 13, 2019 at 15:09 | comment | added | user | The whole episode is out of character for Data. The polywater shouldn't really affect him, and he acts nervous when Tasha seduces him which is an emotion he is later shown as incapable of experiencing. | |
| Jun 22, 2019 at 15:15 | comment | added | user89104 | Data is fully functional, but can't say contractions? WTF!? | |
| Mar 29, 2018 at 3:42 | comment | added | SudoSedWinifred | Out of universe, Star Trek is bubbling over with sexual motivations, it's rare to find an entity you can't screw, and if you do you it's full-on inconceivable Lovecraftian horror. | |
| Nov 23, 2015 at 20:46 | comment | added | Doug Warren | You know how it is. You've dedicated yourself to this huge complicated project ("build an android") and you can't figure out how to solve this one really tricky part ("give him emotions without making him a serial killer"), so you procrastinate by solving relatively simple problems ("make his junk work") instead. | |

Made the subject less icky so that I can set the edit summary to "made less icky" as per Abby's request.

| Sep 20, 2011 at 15:52 | comment | added | Aarthi | TVTropes has this listed: "The night with Data. He agrees to keep it quiet, but we see that it's one of his most precious memories. (In an extended version of Yar's goodbye message, she says, "Data? It did happen.")" The same page also points out that Data's ridiculous humanoidness is because, "His creator was far more interested in the puzzle of creating fully-sentient mechanical life than any commercial applications." | |

| Sep 20, 2011 at 15:44 | comment | added | hairboat | Please make the edit summary "made less icky". | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 15:43 | comment | added | Brett White | Good question. I'd say the latter, because it's less icky. Revising! | |
| Sep 20, 2011 at 15:41 | comment | added | hairboat | Is your question "how intimate were they" or "why is Data programmed for this"? | |
