Doctor Katherine Pulaski’s pass through TNG was swift and left us wanting more, so I humbly hope this piece can help a little bit with what. Dr. Crusher’s shoes were big to fill and our first contact with Pulaski was antagonizing our dear Data. 

This definitely conditioned how some fans perceived her. However, in just one season we got a great character with an interesting and rich development. Also, we got to know an intelligent, empathetic, bold, competent, sweet, professional woman who embodied some of the best qualities of the whole series.
