Number One I order you to take a number two.

In retrospect after the first time Data took over the ship they should've popped his head on a little end table in front of the helm console and put a chopstick in his mouth to push buttons with.

Yes, it was some kind of phasic parasite that he could pick up subconsciously

Working on the Enterprise would rock because you could take a week and just go chill on the beach with a gallon of margaritas and some space weed and when you get back you just tell Riker that your brain got taken over by a 9th dimensional being and then you nod solemnly while Picard says that we’ve all learned a little something about the boundaries of consciousness and they never write you up

No, you see, there's an invisible parasite that only I can see on you and I need to stab it out with this engineering tool

Constantly. By the time they add the holodeck the ship is basically an old school djinn, everyone has to be extra careful phrasing requests lest it do something bugfuck nuts

It was also the storyline/episode where he was experimenting with dreams, too, right?

He wasn't conscious, he was sleepwalking, and I think everyone there understood he wouldn't have stabbed her under normal or the majority of abnormal circumstances.

Yeah it was real clumsy and felt regressive from where they'd already landed with Data's personhood.

Still, at least she was interesting. Things I can remember about Beverley:

1) Dead husband
2) Annoying son
3) Ghost candle sex
4) Worf sprayed acid in her face
5) Was present in the scene where Picard does the weirdest laugh in the world

Sure, sure. The android does weird poo poo and sometimes randomly stabs people or hijacks the ship under "suspicious" circumstances. This is fine. We work with this guy every day and we know he's got our back, unless it's one of those days.

Don't get me wrong, it's not just Data, any given member of the command crew might get "mind controlled" or "possessed by and alien entity" or "bodily replaced by an exact duplicate" or whatever and just phaser you down in the hallway one day. I can't imagine working for Starfleet HR

The writers don't know what makes Data funny even if Brent Spiner does.

Joe Piscapo is the height of comedy on the Enterprise D but the actual joke that flew past the writers is that Brent Spiner is making fun of Joe Piscapo.
