He briefly served as Captain during TNG Gambit 1 and 2. And he made damn sure Worf knew it too!

Poor Data never got a promotion through seven seasons and four movies. The only time he held higher rank might have been the alternate future the Romulans manufactured for Riker on a holodeck to try to trick him into revealing secrets.

The scene where Worf says “it is I who have endangered our friendship” always makes me cry.

Same. I genuinely think that was Worf realizing what he did and being legitimately afraid of losing a friend. We don’t see that soft human side of Worf very often. We also know that Data can miss people so when Data said he’s sorry if it damaged the friendship… That’s one of the closest examples of Data being human, in my opinion.

He did lose control of himself on multiple occasions, even endangering the whole ship…

So did Picard, a number of times. “Bridge officer goes cuckoo” is a standard theme. Geordi was turned into a Romulan assassin. Worf de-evolves and kills multiple members of the crew.

And Picard stayed captain as well

During the Klingon civil war, he was temporarily made Captain of the USS Sutherland
This is also where Data shows serious BDE to his racist(?) first officer.

Captain, as in head of the ship, not the rank. He was still Lt. Cmdr. Unless I’m missing remembering the episode

Yeah that’s like saying the person in charge of the duty night shift is captain while they have the bridge.
