just watched the one where data's head gets buried for 500 years thanks to mark twain being an asshole, and i kept having to remind myself they weren't all just horsing around on the holodeck

that's a fun one in a lot of ways- i love Data's conversation with the old beggar, he's a sweetie pie. But it's kind of a wet fart in terms of explaining Picard/Guinan's supposed connection that "goes beyond friendship, beyond family". They hung out one day and Picard hadnt even experienced it yet?
