    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!

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

        That’s right! And they didn’t like the way Picard and Riker looked in gold, hence the move to red for the command division and engineering/security to gold.

        And that’s the way it should be! Come at me, TOS fans! 🤣😎
