She reveals that one thing she and Soong couldn’t possibly have anticipated was that Data didn’t mind being naked, although some of the colonists certainly did as he is anatomically correct. The Soongs asked him to dress, but he didn’t feel it was necessary as he didn’t “suffer from the elements.” With a laugh, Juliana concludes that they had to resort to writing a modesty subroutine just so Data would keep his clothes on.

    Fun fact: Odo runs around naked 100% of the time.

      Doesn’t Odo lose his *surprising ability for part of the show? I imagine he had to start wearing clothes.

      Edit: *shapeshifting… I feel like autocorrect made the sentence better. I like it and it kind of works so I’m leaving it.

      When you stop to think about it, we are all naked in front of the eyes of the Prophets, my child
