Pulaski is a woman and mother too. So your comments about Crusher make no sense.

She viewed her role as a doctor differently. Some believe in being blunt and focusing on the disease which Pulaski did. Others believe in treating the disease AND the person which is what Crusher did. Neither has ANYTHING to do with being a woman or mother. As men who are fathers do that as doctors too.

Data didnt react because he didnt notice the animosity Pulaski was giving to him. He doesnt know about prejudice in the sense of knowing when its happening in real time.

A 14 year old going to Caltech definitely received a full scholarship for all expenses.

As for trust, they were barely getting by with their expenses. Its why when either parent lost their job they freaked out immediately as they had no cushion or extra money.

This argument is flimsy at best.

First in TBBT Georgie said he had to work his butt off to get his first tire location. In order to pay off loan against mothers house he would have.

Second, since this store isnt Dr Tire, he might have to sell it later on and still work towards money for Dr Tire.

Third, his comments in TBBT about all the money going to Sheldon were true and still works here. Mary had no money to give to Georgie which is why she offered her house. That complicates things in Georgie's flexibility in what he could do with his business. If given just cash, he could hold out longer if it wasnt as successful as he wants starting off. With moms house as collateral, he can not do that.

The thing I dont understand is with it being his father in law and him having half of it to buy it. Why wouldn't he allow him to finance the rest of the amount with him and get monthly payments for the rest instead of employee as a partner.

His father in law didnt need all 100% up front. He was taking about traveling. So half up front and monthly payments after would not prevent that nor inhibit him with extra money for expenses every month.

Seems like a hardship put into it that didn't need to be.

I dont really see Discovery season 1 as Star Trek. If you change a few character names and give Klingons a different name as well, it could have been any new kind of science fiction show. Season 2 was better but odd just about everyone was aware of Section 31 when no one was supposed to know about them.

I am so tired of the Terran mirror universe stories. Its one thing in original series but almost every series after gets involved with it. They are so boring and uninteresting. These stories add nothing but stuff to take up time. Need better writing and ideas.

But as to Progressive tendacies. That IS Star Trek. From equally of races and species to socialist economy that Star Trek has. If you have issues with Progressivism then you shouldn't watch Star Trek as almost all aspects of it has its involvement.
