Spoilers I think Dr Pulaski died between Season 2 and 3

[at Quark's]

Memory Alpha says 'Pulaski transferred off the ship sometime prior to Crusher's return', but AFAIK, there is no canon evidence for that.

For all we know, Beverly simply went into 'There can be only one!' berserker mode when she returned and found Pulaski on the ship. They could have used Eye of the Beholder to tell that story, just with a different twist ending:

Beveley: You won't tell the captain or anyone else of the crew, right?
Deanna: I don't think they'd mind. They've never even made a single remark about her unexplained disappearance, after all. But if you don't want me to, of course I won't! What are friends for, after all?
<Both walk away through the corridors, giggling>

I almost hope we never know... it's more fun to speculate on possible fates for the good doctor than what probably really happened.

 

[New Kid 99]

I actually misread the question. I thought the question was if she was alive by the time of Picard season 3. I never assumed she passed away right after Shades of Grey. That would get a passing mention somewhere.

Unless we hear of her death in PIC or another film then we have to assume that she is alive!
Does anyone here think that McCoy or perhaps even Scotty are still kicking at the time of the events in PIC?

Seven, I am familiar with, but..."Shaw"?



Beverly is still my preferred M.D., but I do like how Pulaski both grew as a character and occasionally helped to push Data in the right direction; it would have been nice to see her make a cameo post-Season 2.

He's a character appearing in PIC Season 3.

Spoiler

The deadnaming until shortly before he died, but also the slowly growing respect and understanding for Seven reminded me strongly on Pulaski and Data in Season 2.

Think Bones is dead but Scotty may be still alive and kicking.

 

[johnnybear]

We never heard of him landing to refuel his shuttlecraft anywhere though did we...?

[Oddish]

Maybe Scotty figured out Paris's trick, got his shuttle to Warp 10, and now he's a salamander somewhere.

 

[johnnybear]

He could well be, yessss....

I always loved the "All Good Things" novelisation and she turns up in that just hanging out back on the Repulse chatting with Lwaxana. So I think she just went back to her old ship or if not, maybe she went and took Beverly's job at Starfleet once she came back to the Enterprise.

Data recorded the souls of every person from the colony were he was built.

Has he kept recording souls?

If Kate is dead, is she still alive inside Data too?

...

What would have been amazing, is if Kate left on Maternity leave, and she wouldn't take the Oath either.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Nothing says she’s alive or dead. I choose alive though maybe she fell down a turbo shaft…

If the future, you can fall up a turbo shaft.

 

[somebuddyX]

If she did die it was from BOREDOM due to the events of "Shades of Grey."

 

[Oddish]

Maybe the pathogens that killed Riker didn't die... they just migrated to the closest human. Pulaski was found in her quarters the next day with her CNS overrun by them.

 

[Orphalesion]

She didn't die. She just had to go back to the Dungeon Dimensions, ascend to the Gorgon Throne and claim her birthright as Queen of the Space Harpies.
That's just not the kind of thing you can put off indefinitely.

Really she was only on the Enterprise in the first case because she wanted to insert her lflesh eating larvae into Picard (and use Data to build a nest for them). When that failed she left.

 

[vulcancicada]

She got a job at the Daystrom Institute, of course.

 

[Unimatrix Q]

She got a job at the Daystrom Institute, of course.

If she's really still alive in the 25th century, i would love to see her meeting Data (and Soji) after the PIC Season 3 finale.

Me too! And seeing her different reaction to Soji would be a nice contrast to her character's original reaction to Data. I know she changed her conception of him but the show didn't really highlight that.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Wasn't it explicitly stated she was assigned to Starfleet Medical?
