Star Trek: TNG ’s resident android. He’s fully programmed in multiple techniques, including poetry:
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.

Go Data!
Ode to Spot I love.
why is it I keep thinking that hundreds of people have bested data? and every time i come here and see only.. 15.. i feel disappointed. .. :(
I know, where’s the love?
Perhaps it’s just because I watched TNG when I was very young, but when I found out how Nemesis ended, I was crushed. I felt like someone should have told me. I realize it’s all just fiction and actors need to move on and blah blah blah, but an irrational and childish part of me still feels that Data should have lived forever.
I mean, he was an android, damnit. :(
