Gone too soon... all those fan fictions that could have been!

Crosby is an awful actress. She can't act her way out of a wet paper bag. Which is, of course, why her career went nowhere and she desperately clings to Trek.

Yep. And here's the guy who co-wrote Yesterday's Enterprise, Eric Stilwell. Found his latest podcast where he talks about it. https://youtu.be/mcRRrnbT2cI

He didn't co-write it; he just came up with an idea that eventually evolved into the episode.

The episode was plotted by Ron Moore and the actual script was written by like five people over a weekend. (It had to be rushed because Whoopi Goldberg suddenly became available for that production slot.)

Without question. I audibly gasped at the reveal.

I still think season three of Picard should have focused on Yar/Sela.

I thought if Sela ended up being a villain in the Nemesis movie, it would have drastically improved it.

I wasn't impressed by her acting ability to begin with, but jfc her character's backstory was awful.

I've been rewatching TNG recently, and every time she brings up the **** gangs I just want to scream.

I cannot decide if Yar or Pulaski was my least favorite character.

[-]

Lost_Balloon_@reddit

Well, Diana Muldaur at least can act. More than can be said for Crosby.

[-]

taskilz@reddit

Pulaski was much better, and I’d take her over Crusher any day. Yar was one-dimensional.

[-]

Prof-Finklestink@reddit

It's a shame she died so early on, she could've gotten more development as the show went on.

[-]

Lost_Balloon_@reddit

The best thing Tasha Yar did was die to make room for Worf to develop.

[-]

JugOfVoodoo@reddit

Umm.... Do you read fan fiction? Tasha Yar has TONS of fan-fic about her. And it's specifically because she died early that people find her so interesting. The lack of information sparks the imagination.

[-]

Seanathan_@reddit

Yeah, I don't understand this post. You can do whatever you want in a FanFic.

Deanna Troi and Tasha Yar storylines!

Now, now!

Yar feels like a character who if the actor had stayed on, would have been developed further. But it's somewhat hard to blame her for leaving, given how she had been treated up to that point.

[-]

HisDivineOrder@reddit

Well, you can still fanfic her with her new husband Armus. All he had to do was create a dead clone and then rapidly swap the two.

He plays around with everyone a while and then they swear off the whole planet, forever stranding the two reluctant lovers.

Over the many years, Tar & Yar (as they prefer to be called) came to understand one another, and eventually a love blossomed from shared abandonment.

And Worf got the promotion he wanted all along and all it cost him was a colleague he needed gone anyway.

Totally agreed...and some Dufus downvoted already so the post won't be visible lol

[-]

MindlessNectarine374@reddit

I definitely agree.

I had a Latino friend when I was younger and the first seasons of TNG were on air. He pronounced his Ys as Js at the time, so this character will forever be Tasha Jar to me.

It's really amusing that this has stuck with me for thirty years.

Godspeed, Manny.
