[edit] Android aura
Early in the episode, when Geordie and Picard are discussing the view that Geordie sees with his VISOR, Geordie mentions that Data has an aura because he is an android. Quite why this would be is bizarre to begin with; Geordie's VISOR is supposed to detect EM radiation, which would imply that Data somehow distorts the radiation around him, or that he emits radiation not in the visible spectrum that is diffracted by air around him. Disregarding that, wouldn't it mean that Geordie should have noticed the android version of Juliana Tainer in "Inheritance"? This isn't necessarily a mistake, as the Juliana android could have been built so as not to produce this aura. Can anyone suggest what could cause the aura to begin with, and how it might be dampened in the Juliandroid? – Pesky 20:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Geordie's statement that it occurs because he is an android is speculation on his part anyway. Data at this point is considered unique. The only other android we have seen is Lore, considered to be virtually identical to data in all physical respects. This may be a phenomena that is common only to Data-like androids. My other theory is simple electrostatic charge due to Data's circuitry, etc. His "skin" may not have been designed to block this out, either as an oversight or just because it wasn't considered necessary. The Julia android may have had this change in order to appear as human as possible, even to blind people who see everything by EM radiation ;). Wheatleya 15:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Klingon Cruiser Displays the Emblem of the Federation
Why does the klingon cruiser display both the Klingon emblem any the Federation emblem? The klingons do not belong to the Federation, ande even thought there is an alliance, federation ships do not display klingon emblems. Wheatleya 15:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
