In hindsight, there’s a book that sort of covers Data early career, or at least what he was doing when Picard met him. The main focus of the book is Picard’s time before the Enterprise. https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Buried_Age

Noone is sure what to make of Data at that point. He is doing some computer database management stuff at some remote location and is content to just do that. Picard shows him how to have aspirations for more.

Starfleet never really thought or cared about Data’s needs or wants, let alone sentience, until Maddox wanted to vivisect him

I pulled that out at work, and totally forgot it was star trek

Weren’t they talking about Dolly Parton earlier in the episode. Bortos doing karaoke or something

What do you mean? Terra Prime was a great finale. There was nothing else after that.

Don’t forget the -J from the ENT future

I mean Kirk got demoted hard lol. Still a great Admiral.

Awesome poster. Sucks it’s the final season.

So is Big Spock

The “French” aka Jean Luc Picard? He’s rather British for a Frenchman. Maybe WW3 had some other consequences.

The opening credits of Enterprise shows the Terran Empire landing on the Moon after winning what would be WW2 for us. I think the point of divergence is well before Zephram and even the 20th Century.

I thought it was super easy in the future

And they’re talking about women. Such a great nod.

I remember going to our AAA office to pick That up. Our agent would walk through the trip with us.

Alright squeeks

Man just wanted some efficency and didn’t have time for niceties. Of course he’s rough around the edges after heavy negotiations with the cardassians.
