I actually really enjoyed Dr. Pulaski, but I'm pretty aware I'm in a small group on that one. She was just so damn surly, which I thought brought a nice contrast to the rest of the cast.
- jonnathanson 12y agoI guess I have mixed feelings about her. She was definitely a character, and I give her credit for that. She was not out to win a popularity contest, or to be Miss Congeniality. She was gruff, old fashioned, and smart. Sort of like McCoy, but without the charm. But I just didn't buy her Luddite tendencies. Her treatment of Data bordered on cruel, even if I understand that sometimes she was doing it to make a point, or to test him in certain ways. But I just didn't get where it came from. It felt odd. And I know this isn't necessarily fair to Pulaski, but seeing as how Data is so gosh-darned lovable, her antagonism towards him makes her unlovable by association. It's like having a character whose defining traits include being mean to puppies. It's just...hard to win people over if you're going to be that person.
- bane 12y agoShe's grown on me over the years. She's definitely a more interesting person than Dr. Crusher, but I think she was also too much of an homage to Bones from TOS. I recently went back and watched some TOS and was really surprised to see young her on the show.
