    He’s very sparkly to Geordi, as per the episode “Heart of Glory” where he uses (for the only time in the entire series) a remote video transmitter so that the bridge crew can see what he’s seeing on an away mission. Data has a sort of electromagnetic aura around him that’s visible to people with visors.

    And I remembered that all from memory, no consulting Memory Alpha. I am such a nerd.

      i’m only slightly disappointed that you didn’t push this play on words a little bit further and said that he had a magnetic personality that people can see; even the visually impaired. lol

        Data joking about having a magnetic personality was in the movie Generations, which I refuse to accept as canon.

        Ironically, my headcanon is that the movie Star Trek V takes place entirely within the Nexus and is Captain Kirk’s power fantasy.

        Yes, those are mutually incompatible beliefs, and I accept that paradox.
