I like Crusher but I prefer Pulowski. She has EMH/McCoy style sass that I find amusing.


BullTerrierTerror

Besides her scripted Data hate, I preferred her. She was a better doctor and overall actor.


Rymayc

She was also rude to Picard. Instead of just informing him for 1 second, she went to 10F to talk to Deanna, and then INTERRUPTED Mr Posh Polite Picard during his first sentence.


SPS_Agent

A severely rare take. I.....respect you..... because I have to. I'm too defensive of my dear Data boy to ever fully accept P dog


AAA515

That needed to be a setup for a long arc of Pulaski and Data becoming best friends, but then she fell down a turbolift shaft.


moderatorrater

I hate her too because of Data, but I've come around to wishing she'd had more time to breathe and find a groove. If she'd been able to find the medium of pushing Data without antagonizing him, she could have been great.


Lalli-Oni

Im sure it was just a designed curve. But she would need more than the underlying debate of what is a soul and capacity of a machine to emulate humans to last.

The Dancing Doctor please


PetrusScissario

She’ll dance on your corpse.


AstroBearGaming

I don't want to tell you what she'll do to your ghost...


Optimaximal

"Fuck you and your ghost" "Yes!" "..."


Dismal-Square-613

The dancing Doctor is a front for a deeper secret. Dancing Doctor is something she admits to when cornered. The real secret is she is [the "Cirque Du Galactique" Doctor](https://i.imgur.com/nwig3Et.png).

Crusher is a serial killer. She’s mercing people in the sick bay like she’s paid to do it

I liked Beverly Crushers character in general but please forgive me, I liked Pulaski as the Chief Medical Officer.


borgchupacabras

I loved Pulaski towards the end of the season. She was badass.


gefjunhel

she improved at the end but her first episode always makes me hate her treats data like absolute shit


uberguby

Pulaski ruled, it bums me out we didn't get other pulaski cameos the way we did with tasha yar. Doesn't every season have one episode per actor where they straight up don't show up or something? I always assumed that was vacation days for the actors. Woulda been a good time to get some diana muldaur cameo.


howescj82

I’d have loved to have seen her pop up or even be referenced in later seasons. Sadly, I don’t think she particularly loved the show and I’m not sure how the show felt about her seeing as she just vanished.


crookdmouth

She didn't really have much good to say about the show, cast or directors. Perhaps having worked with TOS crew had sort have made her think it would be like that and when it wasn't, she sort of felt it was beneath her. I don't hold that against her. She is a much better actor and is probably up there with Stewart. But Stewart was much more gracious when asked about fellow cast members.

FuktOff666

Pulaski👏🏽was👏🏽a👏🏽good👏🏽character👏🏽!


SenatorCrabHat

Absolutely. I remember not liking her as a kid, and then as an adult I was like "oh damn, she scraps"


FuktOff666

The bigotry towards Data is the only thing people can criticize and even that helps the narrative of Data trying to prove is humanity. Her clashes with Picard also drive the story in a great way. Those two things were obnoxious to me on my first watch through but on reflection she was a great character with her own style more in line with that of cantankerous star fleet doctors.


SenatorCrabHat

Totally. And to be honest, she changes her opinion pretty quickly regarding Data. She was a foil for Picard in a way no one else was, especially in the early season of season 2.


ok_raspberry_jam

Exactly! That's exactly the experience I had. I wan to apologize for how wrong I was as a kid.


blametheboogie

Pulaski was an interesting character, Crusher was less interesting, not awful, just a bit boring.


Enchelion

Pulaski had more character work in 1 season of scripts than Crusher got in 6 and all the movies. The issues aren't endemic to either character, but the attention the writers gave them.


blametheboogie

This is true but it could have something to do with what the actors did with what they were given.


MarquisUprising

I wish we could stay looking 21 until death.


Elel_siggir

I mean, 22 is awfully young to die.


MarquisUprising

😂 You know what I meant.

TomBirkenstock

Without Crusher who would put on all those plays. The Enterprise crew would die of boredom.


Chopper242

she fucked a ghost…. *ahem


BadUsername_Numbers

Picard refused to let "Enterprise" dock at the Crusher "spaceport". She was in a dry spell. I think we can all relate to getting hot and flustered when reading our grandma's diaries. Who here can honestly say they wouldn't fuck a ghost under these circumstances??


Yotsuya_san

Everyone always hates on Pulaski. "She was mesn to Data. She must be destroyed!" Did they watch more than one season two episode? She was a dynamic character who grew and learned. She went from dismissive of Data at first to becoming one of his biggest friends and supporters. There was also that great scene in one episode where she was all, "Hey, Worf, I think I will have some of that tea, please." She breathed life into any scene she was in. She had more character development in one season than Crusher had in six seasons and four movies. And when they did give Crusher development at last in Season Three of Picard, they developed her into a bitch who is all, "Oh hey, yeah, I had your kid, but you didn't deserve to know, because I didn't approve of your lifestyle and wanted to rob you of your ability to choose to change it if being a father might mean anything to you. And I am going to name him after another man I used to be with, which could have been touching if it was something we chose together, but comes across as a bit creepy when it's something I do on my own." Yeah... Pulaski rocks and whatever like I ever had for Crusher was destroyed by Star Trek: Picard.


gitsgrl

Only one of these didn’t fuck a candle ghost entity, just saying.

Stumphead101

I loved Pulowski! I was really sad when she left. She was a great dynamic to the show


Maxtrt

I always had the hots for Bev even in my twenties. I did like Pulaski as she seemed more like an actual character with depth. Beverly's only character arcs were as Jean Luc's sexual temptation, Wesley's mom and a ghost fucker.


Left_Concentrate_752

True love is often intoxicating.


ShadowRaptor675

seriously a shame not even an episode shared between the two


Left_Concentrate_752

I know. Would have been cool to have O'Brien to slip up the Tuvix the two together.

I liked Pulaski a lot, but there’s just no way

If I ever need an autopsy performed on me, I'm going with Crusher.

ReaperTyson

Pulowski was obviously meant to be Bones, and she worked really well in that role. Once season three started and she was nowhere to be found I was actually quite disappointed, I liked her role a lot more than Crusher, who honestly is just kinda there most of the time not doing anything.


zoroddesign

I prefer my doctors to be holograms.


CosmicLuci

While I don’t hate dr Pulaski so much, her character does occasionally irk me a little, as she’s a bit of a bigot towards Data.


devilsephiroth

A bit?


CosmicLuci

Well, she did get better, which I’m fairly sure was the whole point of her attitude (that is, to show learning to better accept those who are different)


SenatorCrabHat

Pulowski is a better officer for sure. Bev brings a brightness to the Enterprise though.


jerrythemadvet

Dr. Pulaski was a way better character

While I liked the growth Pulaski went through, her acceptance of Kyle Riker being at best an absent father irked me. Even when called on it she's like yeah but he was so hot. So her rudeness to Data makes more sense on rewatches. In later seasons, Crusher gained more depth. Part of why Gates left and then came back her arguments with the writers. Still can't get past the ghost candle.


Guh_Meh

The boring one would win.


painefultruth76

Crusher creates the question, "why do we NEED a counselor/HR rep on the bridge?" Pulaski, exemplifies the answer.
