I will agree that Discovery season 2 is better than season 1, though I'm like the biggest Discovery hated on the board, so take that with a grain of salt.

58. Katherine Pulaski
Ive known people who liked Neelix. Ive never known anyone who likes Pulaski. Likes the idea of her, maybe, but certainly not the execution.

So Pulaski was brought in after Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher) left the show. Someone stupid said McCoy, but a girl, so they made a doctor racist against robots in the way McCoy was racist against Vulcans. The problem is that McCoy was charismatic because he was ornery toward Spock, but Spock was way smarter and could give as well as he could take, so McCoys casual racism comes across as comical because it sets him up to get schooled. Data is too genuinely nice to even realize hes being insulted half the time and never shoots back, so any insults against him come across as way meaner.

Pulaskis other main character trait is that shes old school, and knows about things like tourniquets and the common cold. Barfffff. Get her out of here. No wonder even the hologram of Professor Moriarty, who met three humans when he gained sentience, didnt ask where she was when he returned.
