Re-watching S2EP9 The Measure of a Man, and I forgot about this really sad moment.

The fact that Data is going to bring a hologram of Tasha with him is genuinely heartbreaking moment.

And for those wondering, having just finished the episode, Data does confirm him and Yar where "intimate," take with that what you will but it seems pretty obvious to me that they made love.

Um did you not watch the Naked Now? It is said directly and explicitly that they had sex.
Kulban@reddit
That, and Roddenberry salivated at the idea of an android having sex with a woman. There's a reason why this happened in, what is essentially, the second episode.
TurboLeopard42@reddit (OP)
That's true, reaffirm would've be a better word to use.
Hollayo@reddit
Yeah in another episode, it was plainly stated that he is fully functional and they get it on.
geeisntthree@reddit
does data cum or does he just sorta eventually decide he's done
Marquar234@reddit
He is fully functional. Maybe he can process food into a simulation of ejaculate.
Psychological-Win458@reddit
Can he sneeze?
Marquar234@reddit
He can simulate a sneeze, but not the need to sneeze.
bbbourb@reddit
He uploads

That depends whose on top...
BagelsOrDeath@reddit
I mean, there's a reason that Geordi once referred to him as "Mr. Buckets of Testicle Jelly"...

Just like those finger cuffs, Data don’t pull out

You can't tell me they only hooked up just that one time.

She had to try each of the multiple techniques at least once.

Even the forangi death grip? That's banned in 4 quadrants

What we heard:
"Data, I'll only say this once: it never happened."
What she said off screen:
"Now meet me in my quarters later so it can not happen again."

The best booty call: the one that will carry the secret to its grave.
TurboLeopard42@reddit (OP)
Well Data is "fully functional."

The novel Metamorphosis is set right after this episode and goes into quite a bit more detail about Data’s experience with Yar and its aftermath.

That tar monster terrified me

Side question, how did they film this effect back in the mid 1980s?
Marquar234@reddit
Put a sheet of glass in the background, project previous footage on it.
Savantskie1@reddit
Film overlay, literally film in a way that the film is far away from the lens, then film the area to be overlaid, and you get a ‘Hologram’

They boned.
