One is his name. And the other is not.

I knew I hated Pulaski from that moment on.

It seemed to me like they might've been setting her up to be like McCoy, poking fun at Data instead of Spock.

But she didn't earn it. They need to be friends first.

She starts off pretty acerbic with a clear bias toward Data, but they were definitely going for a character arc with her and she started having some character growth as the season went on. She later encourages and supports Data when he's having a mini crisis about losing at stratagema, and she takes an innoculant so she can drink the poisonous tea Worf offers her. Then they brought back Bev and we never got to see it really pay off. Then for ages Crusher is barely anything more than set dressing and a 'will they won't they' relationship for Picard. I always thought Pulaski was a more interesting character than Crusher and the show would have been better for keeping her.

Does Data pronounce it "Gif" or "Gif"? Inquiring minds need to know.

The good old Jraphics Interchange Format.

I'll do you one better: do you pronounce it SATA or SATA?

Essay Tea, eh!

SATA like the "a" in dad. Do people pronounce it the other way?

[–] MutatedBass@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I pronounce it "say-tuh"

Is or are though?

When Data is talking about data and not his name, does he still call it Data? I've never paid attention to this and need to find out.

I thought so, but it turns out he says "One is my name. The other is not."

Always felt right when I first read it.
