And that was really my gripe. She was basically just genderbent McCoy. At least to start. They did enough with her character that she was more than that by the end, but using that as a starting point just rubbed me the wrong way.
Yeah but most of the characters on TNG started out as two dimensional caricatures of what they actually became. I don’t think the Pulaski character is any more deserving of criticism than early Picard or Riker or, heck, Data himself (who I’d argue started off as Albino Spock).
