    She wasn’t mean to data she was skeptical about his nature. I consider her relationship with data one of the best things on the show, and episodes like the one where Riker commanded the other ship in a war games exercise showed her to be fond of data regardless of her position on his sentience. It would have been amazing to see her mind changed over the course of seasons.

      Even in the episode you mention though, she fails to respect his personal agency in what felt like a really gross way.

      Despite her skepticism she should’ve treated him like a sentient being, since there was a clear chance she could be wrong.

      She was meant to be a foil against Data, but came off as hating him.

      I think it’s because Brent Spiner was so damn charismatic as Data.
