Worf had chickenpox?

The Klingon version of it, at any rate, in "Up the Long Ladder" (the one with the clones). He keeled over on the bridge, and Pulaski made up a story about him fasting and failing to reduce his output, to reduces his embarrassment at suffering from a childhood illness.

I thought it was Klingon measles. And come to think of it, if they can alter than own genome at will in ENT times, how have they not come up with school-age vaccines by the TNG era?

According to the script it was "rop'ngor". Whatever its human equivalent is, Worf was not happy about the idea of suffering from a childhood disease.

As for the vaccine, their experimentation with genetic tampering didn't exactly go according to plan. Also, given Worf's repeated insistence that Klingons don't get ill, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have vaccines on those grounds. Just as Klingon warrior prowess means that they don't need rifles, support weapons or tactics.

Being a warrior means never having to say you're... smart.

Look on the bright side gang! If she was still serving on the Repulse, doesn't that mean she got blown up in the war???

I have found that over the years I have come to like Pulaski. Some have condemned her for her inability to view Data as a sentient being, but I appreciated that point of view. Look at Measure Of A Man and we can see how there are many in Starfleet with the same attitude. Despite Starfleet's mandate to seek out new life forms, there is still going to be some hesitation in accepting that Man created one right under their noses.

I also appreciated the conflict as well. Everyone got along so well that first season and I found myself really missing the old McCoy/Spock debates/arguments. As for Data taking it, well, why woudn't he? He has no emotions, no ego, and by this I would imagine he is pretty used to being looked at as a machine by a certain percentage of the population. He is sentient, but incomplete at this point of his development.

I imagin he had a pretty hard time of it at the academy with the other cadets not liking him.

It's Data - he wouldn't care one way or the other.

He always wanted to be more human, being rejected by them would not have been what he wanted.

True, but that rejection wouldn't have hurt him or affected him as such.

Quite true. He didn't have emotions at that point, so it wouldn't really have bothered him much.

That explains the overload with his emotion chip in Generations: all those pent up feeling for so long,
