I want a Doctor Pulaski story line before she passes. The greatest part of the online world is that it gives another life to artist. I would love to see STO pursue voice actors to preserve star trek history. :) I mean it would be awesome. But one up and talk about this. Polaski was the second "Bones" we have tasha back. I want me some Polaski.

    Yeah, I always liked Pulaski too. I don't know how everyone else felt about her though. I always got the impression that Crusher was the fan favorite.

    Count me in for a Pulaski appearance. The first couple of episodes I wasn't sure what to think, but then I grew to like her, and missed her when she was gone. I kinda hoped that she would pop up from time to time.

    as far as i am aware, diana retired from acting in 1993. so there is no chance of a reappearance.

    She was the greatest foil to Data. That's why I particularly like Dr. Pulaski.

    Hard pass. I hated Pulaski. They tried doing the whole 'Bones was mean to Spock because he deep down cared for him' thing with her and Data but it just comes across as mean spirited because Data is very different to Spock. (Spock gave as good as he got while Data has this childlike innocence that makes Pulaski's treatment of him seem unnecessarily cruel)

    Plus the whole reason for the character to be on the show in the first place was because Gates McFadden was being harassed by Maurice Hurley, so while that's not a reason to hate Pulaski it is a reason to hate the circumstances that forced the show to have Pulaski.

    I don't know, I wouldn't call the way she treated Data mean spirited. She held this belief that Data was a machine, a tool, and this no doubt came from her background in the sciences and medicine. There were times when Data surprised her and those moments were great like Elementary Dear Data where she challenged him to solve a mystery on his own and arose to that challenge.

    Yeah on reflection I may have overstated it. They seemed to settle into a friendship with each other as the season progressed. It was just in the early episodes that it seemed like she was being mean to Data for no real reason. I mean yeah ok he's an android and not a biological lifeform, but you can't tell me that after spending five minutes with him you'd think of Data as nothing more than a machine. She also called him 'it' IIRC in one of the early episodes which I really didn't like (I think it was 'Where Silence Has Lease', I might have to rewatch that one).

    I still maintain though that what they were trying to go for - the Bones/Spock bickering dynamic - was ill-conceived. EDIT Actually looked this up on Memory-Alpha and their section on her relationship with Data reminded me of a whole lot more examples of her being mean to him.

    Preserving Star Trek history? I hate to remind you but this game won't last forever. It's likely that it won't be around in 5 years time. If you wan't to preserve something, an online game is not the right place to do so.

    No. I hate Pulaski. She's my least favourite character in the entirety of Trek, and yes, that includes Wesley.


    Don't get me wrong, I think Diana Muldar did a great job in the role, but I can't stand the character.


    For crying out loud, she gets told she's saying Data's name wrong and just doesn't care when she gets corrected.

    I liked Pulaski. She was abrasive in comparison to Crusher, but to me it made her a non cookie cutter in her role.

    I liked Pulaski because she always had the right tool to bring Picard off his high horse and show him what reality is. that not everyone is going to be dazzled by the name Jean-Luc Picard, she treated him like anyone else and she had the spine that other officers didnt have to get into a fist fight with Picard in a literal sense.

    Its the same reason i liked Lwaxana, because she always knew how to push Picard's buttons to force him to see reality as well.

    I liked Polaski character wise, she was a old school doctor
