Love Diana Muldaur. Miranda Jones in TOS' "Is There No Truth in Beauty?", Rosalind Shays on L.A. Law--just a terrific actress.
Did not like Pulaski.
I think they were going for a Leonard McCoy type, but she had the "crusty doctor" part down without any of DeForest Kelly's charm.
I hated her attitude toward Data; she never seemed to respect his sentience, or what he was trying to achieve by studying humanity.
It didn't help that she was a centerpoint of some of the worst episodes of s2: "Unnatural Selection" and "Icarus Factor" are just all time stinkers--and I just hate that scene where Pulaski and Troi complain about them craaaazy Riker mens. (She didn't really make the better eps of s2 better, either.)
I'll grant you, Beverly didn't fare too well in solo episodes either ("Sub Rosa", anyone?), but she had some great moments one on one with JLP, and "Remember Me" is just a blast.
