    What you don’t know is that those two were at it like animals every night and she transferred because even Riker was complaining about the sex noises.

    I’m with some of the other folks around here: Pulaski was a better character. Conflict between the ship doctor and the captain makes for more interesting narrative opportunities, and Pulaski was great specifically because she was willing to stand up to Picard and be a pain in the ass.

    Fans just didn’t like her because she didn’t immediately see Data as a person, but even that was interesting because not everyone would, and giving voice to that again created interesting ways to explore the implications of Data’s existence.

      Unpopular opinion, but I liked Pulaski. She didn’t put up with bullshit, but she was also one of the only characters to actually have legitimate growth over the course of their time on the show, going from not respecting Data’s sovereignty as a person to understanding why he was one.
