She also went against Picard when she felt it was called for ("Unnatural Selection"). While Crusher was much easier on the eyes, I think she's definitely a blander character than Pulaski.

Imho I don't agree about Crusher being bland, but I do think that having Pulaski was an interesting change for one season. I don't like her as much as Crusher, but I don't hate her, and sometimes Pulaski was an interesting and refreshing contrast.
