Data 0 Posted November 17, 2004 ODE TO SPOT Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature, an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature? Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses. I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, a singular development of cat communications that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection. A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents; you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance. And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion, it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion. O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array. And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted November 17, 2004 What was funny was later in "A Fistfull of Datas" when Riker ended up reading the poem. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 26, 2008 It's not quite as good as Riker reading the poem in a later episode. How did the writers know that Data's poem would become so iconic that people would recognize it later? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted May 4, 2008 It's not quite as good as Riker reading the poem in a later episode. How did the writers know that Data's poem would become so iconic that people would recognize it later? I think they just knew the audience, Star Trek fans notice the little details more than the normal audience of a regular TV show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
