How and Why GATES MCFADDEN Was ‘Fired’ From Her Role in STAR TREK - Lemmy NZ

That was such a bad situation. The whole, "how dare you question me, get out," loss of Gates McFadden. Dr. Pulaski's introduction as Bones 2.0 instead of as a distinct, unique character, and her first comments to Data. I think Diana Muldaur is very talented and a Star Trek icon -- TOS and TNG. Pulaski is a strong character, but that first impression was hard for me to shake. I was happy when Dr. Crusher returned, but by then I was also missing Dr. Pulaski. I wish that PIC had made room for a Dr. Pulaski appearance.
I hated her as a kid watching the show. But now I realize that I agree with her teleportation-is-murder-stance. I mean, it’s definitely murder.

That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how transporters function in the Trek universe. There is no destruction and recreation of objects. Matter is simply converted into quantum information and then converted back.
