Data finds his cat

No. I was still crying over Kirk's useless death. A cat is worthless if it's not catching mice. Spot was almost as worthless as Deanna Troi. Tears for that pretentious ball of fur? Never.



My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.

Dude! Seriously? A cat? Your "guy" card has just been revoked.

"Oh no...they sent the wrong Spock!"

I kept thinking Spot would have made a great companion to Frankenstein from Red Dwarf, even though both are female.

I just watched that scene, and you're right, it's pretty powerful. Still, I think it might have been a little better if Data were still uncertain about keeping his emotions chip right up until he found Spot. I guess it still works pretty well though, since Data had just stated that he had categorized his emotions and was completely in control of them.

I like it because the whole movie Data struggles with his emotions - mirroring Picard and even Kirk and Dr. Soran......the ending is a nice moment that shows the good side of emotions and why they might be worth having.

That scene is one of my two favorite parts of this movie. I loved that part of the film, it was cute and touching. Ignore the people who are talking smack here and saying negative things. They are just a bunch of tools that are missing the point of this scene. Someone above mentioned something like "what about all the people and families that died"... Spot is the closest thing Data has to a family. He is still trying to learn about how human emotions work and doesn't understand why he is happy and crying at the same time (which truly is a rare emotion for most people). The scene reminds me of a line Dolly Parton has in Steel Magnolias, she says "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion".
