The name of the data has created a new base of Star Trek

There is a noticeable scene in the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” “The Child” Dr. Bulasky (Diana Moldwar) The name of the wrong data. The data tells her that his name is “Day-Tah” and not “Dah-Tah” as it is assumed. Bolsky suffers slightly by correcting it, because she believes Android is very modest. What is the difference? , Ask. “One of them is my name. The other is not.”

Over the course of multiple episodes, PULASKI finally learned to respect data, and always declared his name properly after the end of that conversation. However, one can see how Pulaski will be confused, as it may only read the name of the data on the ship. Also, the data (in a massive manner, science fiction) was named after the information units. It could have been easily called Stan, Toshiro, Ahmed or Makulay, but Jin Roddinbury was named after data, with a highlight of the computerized nature of the character. Nevertheless, Roddenberry has not specified himself if the character’s name was clear “Day-Tah” or “Dah-Tah” so far.

It turns out that there is a reason behind the scenes to pronounce the data name. Once again in 2019, Spinner spoke at the science fiction conference Big Apple Comic Con answered, and I answered questions from the audience. He narrated a story from the time he and his colleague “Star Trek” met at the Hollywood Hotel to perform the first table in the show. This was for the experimental episode, “A meeting in Farpoint”. Spinner sat near his co -star, Patrick Stewart, a classic British actor who was appointed to play Captain Picard. Stewart appears to have pronounced the name of the data in a way that SPINER did not expect, leading to Roddenberry himself to harmonize with the new “Star Trek” base. Whatever the actor who spoke with the choice of science fiction first it appears to be pronounced.

Some Trekkies Pulaski witnessed the above mentioned as the peak of insolence. Some have not forgiven Pollasi, about 40 years later. It may be paradoxes to learn, then, that Spien once assume that the data name was clear “Dah-Tah”. It was Patrick Stewart who was officially called “Die Tah”.

As Spiner tells her, the first schedule was reading the “next generation” pilot is an exciting occasion. The meeting of the entire actors was not the first time, but the largest producers in the show were all of them as well, including Roddenberry, Rick Berman and Bob Justman. “It was really a kind of terrible,” he said. He continued:

“We start reading the scenario, and Patrick says“ Die Tah. ”I was like,“ Wah, wow, waited for a moment. ”I looked at the gene, and I said,“ Is the character today or his tah? ”Because when I read the scenario, I thought it was Dah-Ta.

Roddenberry, of course, could have been dictated easily. He created the character, after all, and also participated in the composition of the “Farpoint” text program With DC Fontana. It was a diplomat for him to allow the actors to choose, because it would allow the named foreigner to flow naturally and comfortably. It will also reduce strange contradictions as stated previously on “Star Trek” (As is the case when Orions It was called “O-RYE-Os” and “OH-EEE-Ons”).

Even SPINER assumed that the most popular American pronunciation of “data” was changed by the use of Stewart for the word. We have to thank the development of the word.
