The reason Picard and Crusher became such anunsatisfactory coupling wasn't because the writers didn'tlike them together. It was much worse. The writersdid like them, which is why they had so much tension.However, they were more married to the concept of Picard asa bachelor than someone in a relationship.
Considering this, why did Dr Crusher leave in Season 2?
The added stress of the writer's strike didn't help. Theworking relationship became unmanageable and she was fired.One of the better things that happened to the show in the secondseason was the introduction of Dr. Pulaski to replaceDr. Crusher. She was a better actress and hercharacter was better written.
