    Honestly, refusing to call a person the name (and pronouns) that they wish to be called by is very much a big thing in society today.

    Dr. Pulaski thinks Data is a lesser being who is not worthy of the same consideration she would give to her human colleagues, and I think that about sums up why everybody hates her.

      It lasted all of this episode, which seems to be the only one people remember.

      Her criticism of Data in Elementary was that he was effectively playing a game with the whole script memorised, and needed something actually new to be challenged by.

      And then in Peak Performance, she’s the one encouraging him to take a shot at challenging Kolrami in his game.

      Like Bones, she’s the negative reinforcement, except people seem to forgive him for constantly hurling racial remarks at Spock. When again, the disdain Pulaski had for Data lasts all of one episode.
