It always annoyed me that he gave a shit, being an emotionless it, er, machine.

Should’ve done that episode nude, let me tell ya. I mean, hey, I was nude…
OTTOMH, that would be the episode in which aliens from the planet of people with funky metal barrettes on the corners of their mouths discover a stable wormhole. Troi falls for an agent of one of the interested parties, a guy named Debonani Rahl(Played IIRC by that guy who played Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld in the episodes after Braun returned from a mental institution). There was a follow up Voyager episode, which had less curvy goodness.
Or the episode the Naked Now (the remake of the TOS episode) when she became all hot, sweaty and restless round Jean Luc 
Pulaski is also redited with restoring Geordi’s sight.
She really, really, really needed to get away from her son. And who could blame her?
And by the way, I think Dr. Pulaski was far more interesting than Crusher, especially when she called Data “it” or mispronounced his name.
She spent a year dead for tax purposes.
Captain Picard called him “Dayter”.
I was hoping she’d fall to her death down a turboshaft, personally.

I thought Wil Weaton was a good actor from his role in Stand By Me (he was the kid that told stories, and grew up to be a famous author.
As for Star Trek, I thought he did a good job of playing a smug bratty smartarse.
That’s okay, George Bush called him “Ducular.”
I kid, I kid.
I remember that episode in which she offered La Forge a set of replacement eyeballs that would look normal and have nearly the same function as the VISOR, and wouldn’t give him headaches, but I can’t recall why he turned them down.
Being about 6 years old at the time, the most I can remember from the Star Trek watching ritual in my household was that I was a really, really big Picard/Beverly shipper. And it still lingers 12 years later. I really wanted them to get together, with all the tenacity of a 6 year old who played out love stories with Barbies.
I am not a veteran of the navy, but…
I have always heard that a true salt would take a job out in the water over a landside desk job any day, regardless of rank, pay, whatever.
Same thing ought to apply times 10 in the Star Trek universe.
Interesting trivial note. Gates McFadden, using the name Cheryl, was the choreographer for Jim Henson’s The Muppets Take Manhattan and Labyrinth.
Like James T Kirk going from an Admiral back to Captain in the TOS movies. Not much of a punishment to him.
Didn’t Data outrank her, to boot? Isn’t that insubordination?
Yeah. It’s hard to get it on with office supplies. 
(“I believe you bonked my stapler.”)
No, both Pulaski and Crusher were Commanders. (I imagine you would have to be in order to be CMO of a starship.)
I don’t think Crusher was ever head of Starfleet Medical, that would be an admiral’s job. She was just there, doing stuff for a year.
Michael Dorn was at least as good an actor as Patrick Stewart - who is given a lot of acting credit for having a British accent - and was certainly better than Gates McFadden or Levar Burton.
I will be the first to agree that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis are dreadful actors.
It’s hard to gauge Wil Wheaton’s abilities based on Star Trek; his character was so silly, and the situations so ludicrous, that I don’t know anyone could have pulled that off. He’s been very good in some other roles.
But Data was still second officer; that is, third in command of the whole starship. Wouldn’t that still make him her boss?
