Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought Data was the Operations officer, not the science officer.

Memory Alpha has him listed as Ops Officer and Science Officer. Considering Spock, maybe it's common for the science officer to do double duty as something else.

I think by TNG, or at-least on the E-D, Operations Chief/Science Officer were occaisonally lumped together. And as Admiral McCoy pointed out so succinctly in the Tales of the Dominion War anthology, "He's an android Bev, he can multitask."(speakind to Dr.Crusher)

Aye, he seemed to have the duties of both.

okay, thanks, just thought I'd clarify that for my own personal confusion.

No problem. Glad to be of service.

As such.........I wonder why they didn't put him in blue????

Lt. Staplic · Post by **Lt. Staplic** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 7:08 pm

His primary responsability was probably Ops, and that's traditionally the same engineering yellow.

Sionnach Glic · Post by **Sionnach Glic** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 4:49 pm

Aye, his science position was probably a secondary duty.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to do this, but I have a suggestion for the polls...

They have been doing a best/worst *insert position here* right? Well, what if for once they did a poll about the best-looking or weidest crew memeber of star trek? Or maybe a three part poll instead of the usual "do one and flip it around"? Just spitballing... Might even be fun!

Interesting concept, the "weirdest looking" one.

They don't seem to have a dedicated science officer as such in TNG. The heavy technobabble is split between Geordi and Data, and of the two Data seems to be the closest thing there is to a science officer.

sometimes they had science officers, like the episode where Picard falls for the Cheif of Astrocartography, and then she is almost killed by the fire stormes on the colony their evacuating (sorry for the poor discription, I can't remember the title.)

Yes, that was "Lessons". Maybe the GCS has a more decentralized system (with multiple high ranking officers specializing in different sciences) because it's so big and has so many science facilities.

That's the impression I got. She may be head of stellarcartography, but that doesn't mean she's head Science officer.
