One of my favorite moments of all of TNG ... with maturity, I recognize Data is RIGHT, as not part of a culture that makes things to JUST WASTE ...

I relate to Data in a lot of my thinking and functionality. Thanks for the Christmas badge. I appreciate you my dear friend. Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to you too, and you're welcome!

Spock was my main man, but Data was third, after Picard -- and all of them are thinkers who are not into wasting effort, time, or people! Spock's sacrifice in Star Trek II was the first time a movie ever WRECKED ME ... but when they played "Amazing Grace" at the end, I got it ... Gene Roddenberry was giving a nod to an arc of redemption bigger than fiction ... and really, that is the beginning of me doing what I am doing now as a writer in Alien Art Hive!
