… And it turned out Tasha really died, though the article did mention the actress returning on a few occasions. It sounded like the first season was a little rough behind the scenes, and the actress was also worried that the role would be too repetitive(?)
Ultimately, I feel kind of bad for the actress since TNG is widely revered as one of the best sci-fi series and she missed an opportunity to be a major part of it; but I can understand why she felt the need to leave. Plus this change gave Worf more time to shine, and also made room to introduce Guinan; so I really can’t be mad.
I also still find it pretty touching when the cast references Tasha and mourn her (like Data’s hologram in the episode where they legally have to prove his sentience).
Well don’t leave us hanging!
…and?

Denied, Mr Worf.
Do people like Guinan?
I was sold on her when she stabbed Q’s hand with a fork.
I’m not so many episodes in, so I’m not sure how strong a character she’ll be; but how could anyone not like a character played by Whoopi Goldberg?
Character aside, there is plenty controversy around Goldberg that can definitely sour any performance you recognize her in.
Hell yeah I do. Why wouldn’t I?
