Star Trek: Picard - 7 Ups & 2 Downs From Episode 4 'Absolute Candor'

5. Curious...

A small one this but a genius move on the part of the producers. During our sock-sliding scene on The Artifact, Narek offers to show Soji an "ancient Borg ritual". She responds as we all would, by pointing out that the Borg have no rituals. "That's what everyone thinks" quips Narek before Soji quickly jerks her head to an angle, her curiosity piqued.

It's a blink and you'll miss it moment, but this tick was one carried by Data through the entire run of the Next Generation. Jarring his head at an angle and recomputing, having received an answer or statement he had not anticipated. Delightful.
