martog Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have recently been watching Season Two of The Next Generation and have come to the conclusion that Pulaski played a far better role in moving the plots of episodes than Crusher in all the other seasons combined. So I pose the question to the board, who was your favorite actor and character, Pulaski or Crusher? I can only recall one moment and two reasons where Crusher had anything to say or was an effective character. Her "moment" was in Best of Both Worlds when she mentions nanoprobes (only to swiftly let you down in her time estimations for weaponization) and her two reasons for survival were to add the element of family into the script (which O'Brien solved) and that she was younger than Pulaski (age descrimination?) Dr. Kate Pulaski, in my opinion, was the better actor and brought more to the stores than Dr. Beverly Crusher. She preformed well in a slew of episodes from season two while Crusher never had much too add (accept for making Picard uncomfortable at all those morning breakfasts). Any Thoughts or Comments?

nuages Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 i've always disliked pulaski greatly, i found her charchter to be contrived, boring, and i just wanted her to leave because i hated her personality greatly, season 2 of TNG is deffently my least favourite season of any star trek ever.She was a female McCoy and that just didn't work with all the other charchters in TNG. Way to much of a TOS charchter for TNG. She is my least favourite star trek charchter and will continue to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arktis Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I found Pulaski to be open, dignified, thoughtful, courageous, dilligent, intelligent and stubborn. Just because she didn't have a pretty smile, more makup than a clown, and a pushup bra is no reason to dismiss her. She's one of my favorite Trek characters and definately my favortie Trek doctor. The only realistic criticism that I have heard is over the way she treats Data at first. But that's all part of the whole character growth/development/gaining of wisdom through experience theme which is ever present in the Star Trek series. And besides, it's a welcome bit of sharp realism to see different people's attitudes towards Data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFMF Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Crusher had a much kinder, better bed-side manner kind of personality that made her a much better Doctor than Pulaski (she was meaner in away but she was more profesonal i think...)

GhostShadow Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 its gonna sound weird but...Dr. Kate Pulaski reminds me of my Grandma... and if there are two things in this world that should not be mixed its Orange juice and pop, and also Star Trek and your 80+ year old Grand parents...

kyran Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 gates macfadden for me the other one was too stiff and not at all humourous and wesley needed a mum for gods sakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Gates McFadden for me as well. Never liked Diana Muldaur's character. Thought she was too nasty to Data. Treated him like a coffee pot or something... c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Gates for me. I don't think that the dancing doctor could be played by Muldaur. Besides, I don't think that they could have played the are they/aren't they romance plots involving Picard with Muldaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
