    Anybody else spend way too long trying to figure out why there were umlauts over the “n” in the second panel? 🤦🏻

    Driver can delegate music or podcast control, but reserves the right to get control back at any time, copilot is like a DJ who has to take requests.

      Even the last season of Picard seemed to forget that Geordi was the pilot in season 1.

      There’s this whole sideplot with family strife because one of his daughters decided to be like their dad and become an engineer, while the other one rebelled against him and wanted to pilot ships. I thought they’d eventually point out that they’re both following in his footsteps, but they never did.

    In my car, shotgun is responsible for mapping/route research, communications, and cargo management; in exchange for handling these responsibilities, they get to choose the music.

      Driver does however always have the right to veto the music.

        Indeed! If one does not like the music, one may withhold service in one’s responsibilities, and if that’s the driver then we ain’t going anywhere; if it’s the copilot then the going will be less convenient. Everything’s better when we can all agree on music!

    Surely I can’t be the first person to point out that Data is not the “driver” in the sense that he is not at the helm, right? Right???

    Data is at Ops - the closest thing the TNG show had to a science station - because he was the Spock-analog.

    Basically what I’m saying is that Geordi/Wesley/Ro/unnamed officer (depending on the season/episode) gets to pick the music, not Data!

      And the reason why he isn’t actually at the science station is that Brent Spiner didn’t look good in blue.

        That’s right! And they didn’t like the way Picard and Riker looked in gold, hence the move to red for the command division and engineering/security to gold.

        And that’s the way it should be! Come at me, TOS fans! 🤣😎

    We know the rules of the road apply in Picard’s Enterpsie because there’s a bumper sticker outside the main shuttle bay that says “Dilithium, Felicium, or Latinum; No one one warps for free.”

    What kind of music does data listen to?

    You might be quick to answer “Electronic”

    We have been shown he listens to all kinds of music. At the same time.

    In this ONE instance, I think it’s okay to ignore the rules. Although if data wanted to change the music, can anyone really stop him?

    That was during that weird period of the 24th century where the only two types of human music anyone listened to were classical and jazz.

    It didn’t last long, thankfully.

        Hey, I mostly listen to 30s and 40s jazz, but it was like rock didn’t exist on TNG, let alone something like rap or reggae.

          It’s a missed opportunity to not see Worf casually listening to rock/metal in his quarters.

          I guess they were thinking that classical and jazz seem a little more timeless?

            I think it was more likely a licensing issue. Most classical music and many jazz standards are public domain.

            I don’t know what Abrams’ company paid the Beastie Boys for the right to use Sabotage, but I guarantee you it wasn’t cheap.
