Wasn't Data a jerk

In the orignal episodes was Data not a jerk?

he was not a jerk, he was just an un-emotional robot

How can you say that about Data!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?! He was the BESSSSSSSSSSST!! I loved him so much. There's no possible way he could've been a jerk!!! Who are you talking about, b/c i couldn't be Data.

I don't know where you're getting that from....he always seemed like a nice guy. Somewhat clueless at first, though.

He was smart and funny without realising it, nothing better than that.

Remember when he pushed Dr. Crusher off the ship on Generations. He wasn't a jerk but he sure could make an ass of himself

i agree with J-unit, he could make an ass of himself but he was the comic-relief

I do not believe he was a jerk-just incapable of feeling emotion. That might be the reason behind your belief of his "jerkiness," LOL

i agree with you seven

Well I just watched the first episode of The Next Generation, he was pretty funny!

Picard couldn't get him to shut up!

I liked that one episode where he is talking to the computer, and starts listing synonyms, and the computer interrupts:

"Thank you sir. I comprehend."

Personally I'd like to have the speed and reaction time of Data. But I'd like to keep my emotions.

well you have to remember Data is striving to make himself more human.. maybe your getting the jerk thing off of his trying to act human

yeah i think data was cool, he saved alot of the crew on many occasions and when he did something irregular like push beverly off of the ship in generations he had no idea what emotional barrier that would play on the crew or beverly she actually set data up for it, so he was never a jerk..

Link, the Hero of Time · **Fri Oct 26, 2001 5:50 pm**

he was just emotionless and wanted to act human. thats why he uses the emotion chip..

Data was cool.

Link, the Hero of Time · **Mon Nov 19, 2001 3:10 pm**

data was great.. i believe he was the comic relief..

Data was childlike in many ways That is what made him so funny and induring Like in insurrection where he wants to have a childhood

Did Data ever get promoted beyond Lieutenant-Commander?

Lindley · **Tue Nov 20, 2001 3:09 pm**

Yes, though I'm not exactly sure when.

Link, the Hero of Time · **Tue Nov 20, 2001 3:16 pm**
