Data Has Emotions In Phantasms

Recommended Posts

After Data's nightmares, he is talking to Troi and mentions his dreams were "unsettling". This implies emotion. An android cannot be unsettled or disturbed. Also, when he gives Spot to Worf (a classic scene by the way) he says "you must tell him he is a pretty cat...and a good cat" lol. This was great even though it was perhaps a little far-fetched for the emotionless android.

I agree that it is a bit strange that Data felt unsettled by the dreams.

 

About Spot, Data has probably studied a lot of research and literature regarding cats and how you should treat them. He has probably just found that you should be nice to them.

I have always believed that Data had emotions before he got the chip installed. They might not have been bright and colorful as human emotions. Plus I would find it hard to believe that Data's "nightmare" would not affect him on some level that may or may not be an emotional response. :)
