Head-Canon Meme
1. Data did fool around some with other female officers before coming to the Enterprise, though Tasha was the first one that reciprocated the act rather than have him service her.
2. I ignore the relationship with Rhea McAdams, because the character was a horrifying Mary Sue. It was irritating. If she had been Rayna Kapec, it would have been easier to accept.
3. I can't acknowledge B-4 Data as Data, as he seems to go against everything Data stood for in AI rights.
4. He's "passively dominant". He doesn't need to prove himself in control, yet he keeps himself in control. Whereas he's mostly portrayed by fans as being meek.
5. His sexuality is vaguely addressed in the series that he was programmed with a variety of techniques. His mother believed that he was possibly sleeping with Troi, but the idea of sleeping with someone never occurs to him. Which makes me think he has no true sexuality, but he was only programmed originally to service women.
6. Data could have developed emotions on his own after time as his system adapted, and had what resembled emotions latently.
7. He could never be happy for an extended period of time with an artificial life form, because even though humans die he has too much of an appreciation for them to find another android a superior companion. Though he wouldn't be above pairing with an immortal human or transferring the human intelligence of his companion into an android body.
8. He could have actually had a relationship with Ard'rian McKenzie, but by the time he sought out her file when he had an emotion ship she had moved on.
9. He and his brother have sensory addictions. When presented with more powerful organic reactions, it would be the equivalent of a sexual or drug induced rush. He can be tempted to do the wrong thing when presented with the offer of feeling more.
10. He despises death. Loathes it. If he hadn't had the means for a memory transfer to B-4, he probably would have found a way to store the logs of the crew and escaped the ship before the Scimitar fired. Not because he wouldn't have cared, but he wouldn't have wanted to lose all the other memories stored in his head.
