Started Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time last night. How big of an ongoing factor is "Q?" Because I kind of hate him. (kbin.social)

I also had no idea the top portion of the Starship Enterprise could separate like that. That was pretty sweet.

Season two also isn't the greatest. But its got some solid stories that do affect things later.

Mostly I just can't stand Pulaski

I don't like her either, but I would say that's not because Muldaur is a bad actress, or because she was a bad character.

For example, her being a dick to Data really helped his character growth. She was abrasive but it really helped TNG grow its beard.

She's a great actress doing a fantastic job of playing a very unlikable character. Except that she's not unlikable in the way a good unlikable character is. She's not the way OP is feeling about Q.

But it's not just the way she interacts with Data, which does result in character growth for both of them. I'm sure they were going for the adversarial thing but it didn't work, with Data or anyone else.
