Takara_Soong 4 Posted March 6, 2004 I think in terms of medical knowledge and ability that Kate Pulaski was a better doctor. Personally, I liked her. She got off to a rocky start with the way the writers wrote her treating Data but in the end I think she would have pushed Data closer to his goals than Beverly Crusher ever did.

Jaz4stfguy 0 Posted March 6, 2004 I chose Pulaski - Diana Muldaur - primarily because I recognised her from a few TOS episodes. In particular, when she and Kirk were used as temporary bodies -episode name? - for beings found underground in glowing globes. :huh: In TNG, the episode that featured Dr. Pulaski performing surgery on Picard is one of my favorites.

Ace 0 Posted March 6, 2004 I really liked Pulaski. She was a much funnier character than Crusher; she had that dry sarcastic wit that I love so much :huh: . Her interactions with Data were great, IMO, especially in "Elementary, Dear Data". Compared to Pulaski, Crusher seemed somewhat like a whiner. I really do like Bev, though. The problem is, we had many, many more chances to see Bev. When someone is in that many episodes, they're bound to come off as boring once in a while. If Muldaur had been allowed to stay on for more than a season, she would've encountered that same occassional staleness. I dunno; I think Pulaski had a better personality, but I also think Crusher was the better person and doctor (hey, the only reason Pulaski was there was because Crusher got a cushy job back at SF medical). For this poll, I'll say Pulaski. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hangon 3 Posted March 6, 2004 :huh: I voted for crusher because she is so much like my mom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 5 Posted March 6, 2004 Tough choice but I went with Crusher. I like Pulaski fine enough and I believe she had lots of medical knowledge. But it's hard for me to vote for her because she was only with the show for 1 season. I also didn't like the way her relationship with Data started out.

edmcgon 0 Posted March 6, 2004 I would take Pulaski over Wesley Crusher any day of the week. (you meant Wesley, right?) :huh: Seriously, I do prefer Pulaski. She had more personality. She reminded me of McCoy in a lot of ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted March 6, 2004 (edited) PULASKI all the way!!! I think she was cool, she was a bit like McCoy, that's what I liked about her. And - most important thing - she didn't have an annoying son. :( She was way better doctor than Crusher ( :huh: ) and she did what she was told to do without complaining about anything, like Crusher ( :lol: ) does... So, go Kate! :( Mrs. Captain Picard Edited March 6, 2004 by Mrs.Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barry 0 Posted March 6, 2004 Dr.Crusher gets my vote, she is better looking, and has a better personality, I like those story lines with Picard, Oh I wish those two would get together properly :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted March 6, 2004 Crusher Beverly Crusher is by far the better doctor on the show! As much as I enjoyed Pulaski, Crusher just plain rocks! :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted March 6, 2004 PULASKI all the way!!! And - most important thing - she didn't have an annoying son. Mrs. Picard, I do not believe you when you say that was the most important thing. You and I both know Kate Pulaski NOT being seen as a potential love interest for Picard was THE most important thing. I am definitely NOT a shipper when it comes to Picard/Crusher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and I both know Kate Pulaski NOT being seen as a potential love interest for Picard was THE most important thing. I am definitely NOT a shipper when it comes to Picard/Crusher. Is is that obvious, Takara??? Well, at least I tried to find some more reasons why Pulaski is better than Crusher ( )... I'm not a P/C shipper, too... MOST DEFINITELY not...

TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted March 7, 2004 For me Pulaski was the superior and more embellished character. Her character also acted as a foundation for development of Data as can be seen in 'Elementary, Dear Data' and 'Unnatural Selection'. In my opinion she could have been one of the main group of characters such as Picard, Data and Riker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stelfan 0 Posted March 7, 2004 It's pretty hard to decide since Pulaski was only with the show for one season.. But I think I'll go with Crusher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoned_vulcan 0 Posted March 7, 2004 Am i the only one here who totally thought that Bev was a much better Dr. Pulaski was very very cold... and very detached... Crusher isnt and if you still dont see my point look at it this way... Jean-Luc wood have voted for bev.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted March 7, 2004 Crusher, as a Dr was better but as a character to have some fun with Pulaski stole the the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
