Tarball Yar, ya’ll!
So we can get her back by just tar -xzf TashaYar.tar.gz?
Armus: “Good luck decompressing her internal organs now.”
Didn’t she have a diva episode about not having enough screen time and they agreed by killing her off?
Diva is an extremely inaccurate way of putting it.
The role was not what was described. She requested a release of her contract as a consequence. They agreed and Rodenberry used the opportunity to show any character could die in TNG.
That’s pretty chill, the story I’d been told was wildly inaccurate then!
What is it with Ricks?
Didn’t that happen because the actress left the show? The way it played out was disappointing though
She left because she was tired of being harassed by Rick Berman.
Yeah I just read some excerpts posted from her book and it’s looking like it’s 10% wanting new roles and opportunities, 10% just trying to have a conversation about said reduction in hours for the 6th of 7th season, and 80% Rick Berman being a misogynist and a pushy boss. Which, he can probably take up another 10% because he’s the reason she wanted reduced hours on that show and he was the one making it difficult to get a conversation started on it, kept pushing her to sign and said she was playing hardball with negotiations that had yet to happen.
What’s her book called? I may check it out
It was an excerpt from a different book she gave an interview in it seems. It’s called 50 Year Mission, by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross.

She wanted to drop down to a recurring character instead of a main character, I think for family reasons. A recurring charector would be in fewer episodes, but still be part of the show.
He killed her off instead.
I thought it was a Me Too situation where she wanted better treatment and this was the result. If you believe Will Wheaton, RB if a terrible person who made his life hell until he left.
It’s very likely both
What is it with Ricks?
