Star Trek: The Next Generation1987
Rating: TV-PG
Runtime: 44 minutes
Lt. Commander Data:
Captain, I wish to submit myself for disciplinary action. I have disobeyed a direct order from a superior officer. Although the result of my actions proved positive, the ends cannot justify the means.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
No, they can't. However, the claim 'I was only following orders' has been used to justify too many tragedies in our history. Starfleet doesn't want officers who will blindly follow orders without analyzing the situation. Your actions were appropriate for the circumstances. And I have noted that in your record.
[Data acknowledges with a nod and turns to leave]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Mr. Data... Nicely done!
