Talk:Katherine Pulaski

Untitled
Diana Muldaur also played a marooned shipwreck survivor on an early TNG episode... as the Enterprise races to rescue her, she is 'kept company' by the bridge crew in shifts... her conversations with Picard are memorable.

When the Enterprise reaches the planet, just within the window for her survival,they find... dust. A time warp had enabled them to establish a link with a woman who had lived, and died, a hundred years before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.141.173.129 (talk) 04:33, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Name changed to Kate
It seems rather odd to stress that Muldaur asked for the character's name to be changed to Kate (actually mentioned twice) without telling us what the name was originally meant to be. --Khajidha (talk) 14:43, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd add it if I could source it to something reliable. Miyagawa (talk) 20:16, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I see this has previously been brought up. I've therefore removed the anecdote from the lead.  It's not very important and is really just a quip. Viriditas (talk) 20:42, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Pulaski overview
Is this a troll edit? "Reviewers praised Pulaski's approach, as well as her ability to fit in with the crew. Critics noted her unique warm presence in contrast to the icier other regular characters and noted her more interesting relationship with the captain, as she would stand up to him."

Maybe I'm missing something but she was the opposite of these things. Oh yes her unique warm presence compared to the Icy Geordie LeForge...lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EmilePersaud 05:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * That change was made in edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Katherine_Pulaski&oldid=984253899.
 * You can see the diff here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Katherine_Pulaski&type=revision&diff=984253899&oldid=970804137.
 * The last paragraph of the intro before the edit:
 * Reviewers criticized Pulaski's approach, as well as her inability to fit in with the crew.  Critics noted that her transporter phobia was reminiscent of  Dr. Leonard McCoy from the original Star Trek, as was her relationship with Data;  Pulaski's interaction with Data raised comparisons to that of McCoy and Spock from the original Star Trek. Episodes featuring Pulaski in a leading role produced divided opinions among critics, with some describing "Unnatural Selection" as a key episode while others argued that it showed only the negative side of her role.


 * whereas, after the edit, it reads:


 * Reviewers praised Pulaski's approach, as well as her ability to fit in with the crew.  Critics noted that her unique warm presence in contrast to the icier other regular characters and noted the more her more interesting relationship with the Captain as she would stand up to him. Episodes featuring Pulaski in a leading role produced united opinions among critics describing "Unnatural Selection" as a key episode.


 * This completely changes the meaning of the statement. I think it should be reverted. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that, so I have to leave it to y'all. --2A02:908:4B11:8820:5CB6:6F5B:8EFF:7F53 (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I have restored the original paragraph, but I note that it (as well as the previous version) violates the WP:LEAD guideline, because it introduces information that isn't present in the article body. The lead section should simply summarize the rest of the article. Everything in the lead section should be described more fully in the article, and this paragraph just doesn't comply. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Reception and Commentary section lacks criticism of character
As if it's done by someone patting himself on the back because he's saying nice things about a character who is generally disliked by Star Trek fans (gee what a hero 🙄) More negative criticism of the character, of which there's ample, is in order here.Alialiac (talk) 11:52, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
