she was obviously written like that so they could give her some character growth.
lot of the star trek characters didn’t exactly age well according to today’s standards, just take it with a grain of salt. i definitely liked her more than crusher, who was always so bland…
Good point. Seeing her for the first time a few months ago did her no favors lol. Tbf though, she was casually yet stubbornly bigoted even by late 80s standards in a show that was inherently xenophilic if anything.
Also, might just be me, but it very much felt like the bigotry was supposed to be a POSITIVE trait to show of her scientific skepticism or whatever compared to all those Pollyannas just going around treating other people as equals by default 🤦
Yeah I have, but I don’t remember any development with regards to her bigotry, her stubbornness, or both being portrayed as her being “the rational one”, which is what I hated about the character lol

have you finished the season already? she does get some development.

she started the season acting like an asshole to data, she ended up admitting her prejudice, asking for his help and respecting him.
i think the biggest problem was her character left as abruptly as it entered the scene, so there wasn’t enough time.
