@spaceandstuffidk: āPicard does not and should not give this much of a shit about Dataā is a downright theme of the Picard re:Views and I had a huge problem with that lol
I mean, I understand the point he is trying to make, underneath all of the characteristically-Mike-like exaggerations. They werenāt bffs on TNG, like Data and Geordi were; Picard maintained a discrete distance from everyone except maybe Beverly and occasionally Will. Their relationship was rooted in the professional. However, mike does seem to indicate that thatās all it was, a professional relationship, and I disagree.
