    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

          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.
