I think it also hurt that the first Pulaski episode has her arguing fiercely and repeatedly with Picard, and then turning out to be so catastrophically wrong that everyone on the ship would've died if Picard hadn't held firm. That's Unnatural Selection, episode 7 of the season. Early enough to inform early impressions of the character.

    yup. Brusque. Domineering. Unprofessional.

    one of the things that cracked me up, though, was that they could re-materialize the "kid" in stasis with that vacuformed stuff on top of him but couldn't, like, selectively not transport a space suit or other hazmat suit. (I.e. beam the person over, re-materialize the suit first, then the person. then when they're coming back, you beam the two over but leave the suit de-materialized and just replicate a new one.)

    They absolutely could have safely sent bodies over if what we saw on the episode was 'safe enough'.

    (as a side note, why did they have to expose anyone at all to see? A petri dish with something that looks vaguely like human cells would have been enough. we've been doing that ourselves for ages.)
