I don’t know whether it’s a popular opinion or not, but I think Dr. Pulaski was a great character and I found her much more interesting than Dr. Crusher. I don’t know if it was down to the writing or the performance but Pulaski is one of the best parts of season 2 and I would have been happy to see her character continue.

She wasn’t very nice to Data but that bit of friction between some of the main characters of the show was welcome, especially in the early seasons. And her performance in Unnatural Selection is a moment in the series my mind returns to often.

How about it? Do we like Dr. Pulaski? What’s her best moment on the show?

    Could you please expand on what you mean by shoehorning in the Guinan scene? How would you handle it if you were the episode writer?

    Edit: to be clear, I know what shoehorning is, I just want to know why you think it occured here.

      I was referring to this trivia:

      Picard’s scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a “Ten-Forward” scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.

      I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank
