You’re right it is beautiful! Not to be that guy though, but Data is Ops, not Science.

All good friend! I’m just too much of a Trek nerd to not correct it. It’s an easy mistake to make too, seeing as Data handles a lot of the science related stuff on the show and the Enterprise-D is notably lacking a Chief Science Officer. Behind the scenes Data was originally going to be in Sciences, but the producers didn’t like the way a blue uniform looked with his skin so they made him Ops.

that is awesome my friend, thank you.. you know i may have watched nearly every episode of that show, and not really been sure about his job, haha.. but i just naturally equate him with Spock, when i think about his relationship to the Captain character.. and the fact that Spiner's character is the one learning human emotions from square one makes the whole episode even better..

I wonder if Frakes was doing the Riker pose while lecturing him.

He probably swung a chair around and mounted it backwards.

If they were seated he almost certainly performed the Riker maneuver.

I don't know if it is against the chain of command to Riker maneuver you superior officer.
