Ok, So, I've talked to several Trekies and they all seem to say the same thing (myself excluded, of course): they don't like Beverly Crusher. Now, I'm not saying that i am a fan of her or something like that, but I just can find out why people seem to hate her. They all say different things, but nothing definitive. Can anyone out there explain to me why this is? Opinions?
Dr. Beverly Crusher
Character » Dr. Beverly Crusher appears in 240 issues.
Beverly Crusher is the Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Enterprise under command of Captain Picard
Why do People hate Dr. Crusher?
They do? I've never heard of this, and I've never heard of McFadden getting anything but the warmest of welcomes at conventions. Sure, she's no Data, but how many of those can we really have?
Three.
I always like the Crusher-centric episodes. In the immensely logical and scientific world of Star Trek, she represented a character who followed her carefully honed instincts.
Killing the whole Borg collective by just one disease... even after what Voyager did with "Unimatrix Zero"... that still wasn't the end of them. There were a few things she said and did that I didn't like or agreed with, like in episodes
- "Symbiosis"
- "The High Ground"
- "Suddenly Human"
- "I, Borg"
But I never hated her because of those episodes. The same thing could be said about my top favorite ST characters.
She was my favorite character on Star Trek:The Next Generation. Clearly a student of the McCoy school of medicine. As quick with a phaser, as she was with a hypospray. I've never known anyone to actively dislike her. Everyone I know ( who watched the show) was much happier with her return (in the third season) than they had been with her replacement, Dr. Pulaski. I don't know anyone who liked her.
I'll tell you why they hate her, because she would rather save 1 borg than her entire race (Season 5 - I. Borg), she worries more about the feelings of the family of a dead man than possibly saving 1000s of lives in the future (Season 5 - Ethics), and those are just 2 examples. They always seem to give her the part of the bleeding heart that makes the person watching just cringe at her idiocy. I can't stand her, really, the actress plays the part well, the part in my opinion is very badly written.
