s2e18 “Up the Long Ladder”

I have changed zero dialogue, Pulaski just liked to get at it. With 3 known marriages, having dated Riker’s father, plus a fascination with Klingon culture, it’s no wonder she took this opportunity.

    distrusted Data.

    I mean, Roddenberry wasn’t wrong to try to rehash the character, because older folks who are distrusting of new people and technologies is just so fucking common.

    Also, I think that’s one of the things that made me vibe with her, the distrust of an Artificial Intelligence. Considering Data is pretty fucking unique and relatively new, it felt pretty realistic to me.

    Too bad we never got to see her character grow. Oh well.

      By “Peak Performance” she’d come around and even gave Data a pep talk about trusting his instincts after losing that game of strategema, but that’s just before the season finale/clip show that is “Shades of Gray.” If she could have stayed on as either chief physician or assistant to Crusher like Ogawa, we might have seen a little more of her personality.
