Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallel underscores Pulaski’s recurring role as the one who exposes concealed truths. In both cases, her diagnosis is initially resisted by the subject (Picard's pride, Worf's Klingon honor culture), but she persists, establishing her as a truth-seeker who challenges institutional pride and secrecy.
