Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The parallel highlights Pulaski's pattern of using confrontation to assert her presence and challenge those in power, regardless of species or machine status. It also shows her comfort with psychological pressure tactics, a trait that reappears in Episode 21 when she goads Data to act after his defeat.
