Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.
#star trek#muppets#data tng#picard#tng#kermit#fan art#next gen#okay so like…#this is obviously mostly intended as a joke but also#human is arbitrary#especially in star trek where every other planet seems to have its own sapient nonhuman species#human is fucking arbitrary#data holds humanhood as the ideal because he was built by humans#but also because the qualities that are most often used to define him as 'lesser' are qualities that humans especially seem to prize#nobody's tries to claim that vulcans aren't real people because they don't feel emotion#or that ferengi don't show enough empathy to qualify#we don't get any betazoids going around saying that true personhood is defined by how good you are at mindreading#in a world where the enterprise was crewed by muppets#and data genuinely was the closest thing to a human onboard#Measure Of A Man would have been about Picard trying to prove that you can't have someone dismantled#just because they can't sing or travel by map
