Season 2 was great, fight me

I’ll fight with anyone who didn’t like Pulaski.

She was a badass who would always stand up for and push for what she thought was right.

She was wrong about Data, but she seemed to take to him over time.

Does anyone remember what fan reaction to Data was from Season One? Was there perhaps a small subset of people who disliked Data in the way Pulaski inititally did? Was Pulaski written for them?

Because I always sort of felt Pulaski was more or less a type of foil for Data, to help people who were offput by the idea of Data themselves to find the same path of understanding that Pulaski did. She existed as a contrast to the other characters who implicitly accepted Data, but was forced to reckon with her own preconceptions and accept she was wrong.

Her character felt like it was way more about humanizing Data than it felt like she existed as an important character on her own. As I said, a type of foil.

I'll get in the world's longest line to fight you, I guess 🤷

That's not a good thing when you're wrong most of the time. And a bigot. Both of which she was.

Starfleet loves its medical bigots. Go back and watch TOS. 90% of the shit that comes out of mccoy's mouth shoulda got him cashiered, if not outright court martialled for hate speech

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
