In my car, shotgun is responsible for mapping/route research, communications, and cargo management; in exchange for handling these responsibilities, they get to choose the music.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago

Driver does however always have the right to veto the music.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Indeed! If one does not like the music, one may withhold service in one's responsibilities, and if that's the driver then we ain't going anywhere; if it's the copilot then the going will be less convenient. Everything's better when we can all agree on music!

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Yup, copilot responsibilities.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Unsure if you’re too generous or if I’m being exploited as shotgun….

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Surely I can’t be the first person to point out that Data is not the “driver” in the sense that he is not at the helm, right? Right???

Data is at Ops - the closest thing the TNG show had to a science station - because he was the Spock-analog.

Basically what I’m saying is that Geordi/Wesley/Ro/unnamed officer (depending on the season/episode) gets to pick the music, not Data!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

And the reason why he isn't actually at the science station is that Brent Spiner didn't look good in blue.

We know the rules of the road apply in Picard's Enterpsie because there's a bumper sticker outside the main shuttle bay that says "Dilithium, Felicium, or Latinum; No one one warps for free."

What kind of music does data listen to?

You might be quick to answer "Electronic"

We have been shown he listens to all kinds of music. At the same time.

In this ONE instance, I think it's okay to ignore the rules. Although if data wanted to change the music, can anyone really stop him?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Data: "Hm. Music, you say?"

0.758 seconds later

Data: "Ok, I've just finished 'Music' "

Anybody else spend way too long trying to figure out why there were umlauts over the "n" in the second panel? 🤦🏻

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That was during that weird period of the 24th century where the only two types of human music anyone listened to were classical and jazz.

It didn't last long, thankfully.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

But I love classical and jazz!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Hey, I mostly listen to 30s and 40s jazz, but it was like rock didn't exist on TNG, let alone something like rap or reggae.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's a missed opportunity to not see Worf casually listening to rock/metal in his quarters.

I guess they were thinking that classical and jazz seem a little more timeless?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I think it was more likely a licensing issue. Most classical music and many jazz standards are public domain.

I don't know what Abrams' company paid the Beastie Boys for the right to use Sabotage, but I guarantee you it wasn't cheap.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Worf's jam was Klingon opera in DS9

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Wait... Star Trek/Supernatural crossover?!

A man of culture

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Driver can delegate music or podcast control, but reserves the right to get control back at any time, copilot is like a DJ who has to take requests.

"How about some HMS Pinefore again?"

Whenever I look at Data I see Matt Mercer.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I can see it. Maybe the nose? The eyebrows?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

i think his expressions resemble him as well

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What’s with the weird font?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I found this one elsewhere, and it looks like it's been pretty distorted =(

(Edit: found a clearer version to replace it!)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That's dedication to the craft

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This whole meme looks AI generated. What's with the face behind Picard? Or Data's eyes? Or any of it, really, once you look closely?

Edit: the original meme has since been replaced. This comment is obsolete.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

These look like familiar shots to me, so I assumed this image has just seen better days...

Awww I was going to make a "That's just what Yar looks like now" joke but you fixed it

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Now I want to see the original.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Lol, here's the mildly melted one again.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Tasha looking like the Quiznos mascot.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

ha! it's even better the second time.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When sailing, Pilot gives the orders.

When on land, Captain gives the orders.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Authority flows downhill though - isn't it the manager who (when credit is assigned anyway) is "driving"?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

yall realize Data wasnt the conn officer right?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Even the last season of Picard seemed to forget that Geordi was the pilot in season 1.

There's this whole sideplot with family strife because one of his daughters decided to be like their dad and become an engineer, while the other one rebelled against him and wanted to pilot ships. I thought they'd eventually point out that they're both following in his footsteps, but they never did.

I bet Data listens to EDM.

Oh yes electrical discharge machining noises are awesome in a dubstep track
