Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Beverly Crusher 

"Remember Me" was a decent episode and remembered by me mostly because I was delighted that Beverly was getting her own episode at last. Gates played being disoriented and grieving so well.

"If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe!" -- Beverly Crusher

A Crusher episode some people don’t realize is a Crusher episode is the excellent Cause and Effect. If you watch it again, you’ll realize that Dr. C is the primary viewpoint character, and she plays it well.

We need a spin off from Picard called "Crusher" where we get to see Beverly kicking ass and taking names in a show of her own. I would totally watch that.

Doctor Crusher is easily one of my favorite Star Trek characters. I love that they finally gave her the respect she deserves in Picard.

I was not quite 5 years old when TNG first aired. But I remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV just glued to season 1 Dr. Crusher because "she has the same color red hair like me!" (and not like Pippi Longstocking, who generated so much teasing material for me). Might not be the most elegant reason for loving a character, but for kids watching a show it's a great example of "representation matters". Thank you Star Trek and especially to Gates McFadden.

Dr Crusher is one of my all-time favorite Trek characters. Gates McFadden is a big part of why. Had she not been so underutilized through the years Crusher would have been an even more outstanding character!

Having Gates back for Picard S3 was the best unexpected gift to fans. Never expected it, for good reasons! Love her.

Season 3, Episode 1, Doctor Crusher comes back to the Enterprise and asks Jean-Luc about what kind of man Wesley is becoming. There's a brief exchange, Crusher: "What were you doing when you were his age?" Picard: "Getting into trouble, much more than him." Crusher: "So was I!" Wesley was almost summarily executed, in season 1. So, exactly WTH was young Beverly up to that was worse than pissing off a god and being sacrificed? We kind of got to see how badass she is in Picard, Season 3, but- I still want to know what Bev meant by getting into trouble. THAT was the one thing I didn't know about Beverly Crusher that I was hoping was on that list.

A wonderful actress in a wonderful and criminally underrated role.

I liked her as Crusher in the episode "The High Ground" after the bomb in the cafe went off. When Picard threatened to have her beamed back up to the ship over her protests, Riker said that he didn't want to be the one who greeted her in the transporter room. The expression on his face was very telling. 🖖😆👍

I was all too happy when she was in command of the Enterprise during "Descent" and showed amazing capabilities.

At 4:23 you can see Tasha Yar waving GOODBYE to her fans! I read somewhere that this was the last scene Denise Crosby shot for ST:TNG.

I always thought that Dr. Crusher was kept back as far as her character development was concerned. She could have been a lot more in the series as a woman, as a mother, and as a starfleet officer.

Seeing Dr. Crusher was one of my favorite characters in TNG. To see her in Picard, season 3, that was FREAKING EPIC! I was so happy to see her being the bad ass she always was!

🎵Wesley's mom has got it goin' on🎵....sorry, I couldnt resist

“Nothing holds a candle to Sun Rosa”. I GUFFAWED! 😂 7:33

Peace from Scotland!

FACT: Beverly was my first teenage crush.

Always had a soft spot for Beverly. I was so chuffed to see her role in S3 Picard. Her acting was sublime. On a negative, is anyone else getting fed up with the sheer number of ad breaks in short vids? 3 before the 5 minute mark is ridiculous. Obvious tactics by YT to annoy viewers into subscribing to premium

Gates McFadden's Doctor Crusher is one of most favorite ST:TNG characters. I loved it, whenever Doctor Crusher was given command of the Enterprise-D!!! I was so happy to see how much Picard Season 3 redeemed Beverly!!!

I love Gates McFadden and Dr. Crusher. I had such a crush on her (pun intended), more so than Troi or Yar, and was mad when season 2 started and he was not there. Thank goodness the idiot that caused her absence was gone by season 3 and we got to get "Dancing" Doctor back. She is still just a beautiful and charming as ever.

One of the things that makes Picard season 3 so good is giving TNG characters more to do than many of the movies. Ensemble cast. Same goes for ST4 Voyage Home, ensemble cast. I can go on...

E.L. crushing the 10 Crusher Things list!

Both Gates and Beverly are incredible role models for girls.

Doctor Crusher was never the best character, but she was a dependable member of the crew that was sorely missed in season 2. Remember kids, just because you're not the Star, doesn't mean that you can't bring value.

Crushers' sex candle scandal is part of what makes Star Trek so fun and enjoyable. It doesn't always have to be all space ship battles and diplomacy, "the one with the whales" type episodes is great to offset serious tones. I wish people would relax a bit more when it comes to having fun.

We love Dr. Crusher! She's always been my favorite character from TNG! And her return in Picard is timeless!

Had to watch this video. Doctor Beverly Crusher is my favorite Star Trek character. Loved her character.

I loved how involved Crusher was in the Picard series. And the way she worked the Weapons Station on the Enterprise D, She ruled that station far better than Worf ever did even on manual controls.

I've always loved Dr. Crusher, she's a wonderful character.

Once again I'm struck by a feeling of deja vu, like I've heard all this before. And then the little voice in my head says, "Because you read the article, you dope!" Oh. Right. Nevermind.

Doctor crusher was always my favorite. Her and Picard together in s3 ❤️

I'm impressed. Huge Gates McFadden and Dr. Crusher fan, and I learned a few things I didn't know. :D

That was great! I have a new respect for Dr. Beverly Crusher and I'm going to go back and watch season 3 of Picard to take her in.

Very cool that she worked on Labyrinth! 🎉

No mention of the Blazin' Bev mem? I'm not even sure how that came about, but they're often hilarious.

I did not know most of that. Thank you.

Such an well played and under utilized character.

Hail to the Queen!

The video title promised 10 facts about Dr. Crusher, not 10 facts about Gates McFadden.

You should a list of spaceborn creatures

Great video!

The commitment to delivering quality content is evident in every aspect of this video.🍒

I always liked the role and Gates McFadden playing Beverly Crusher.

if I'm not mistaken the scene where they're taking the car to the Enterprise G it looks like she's got an admiral pip or at l or at least commodore

1:08 - ELLIE!!!!!!

Everyone likes to talk about the sex-candle episode. But for me, Crusher's most memorable episode is Remember Me (see what I did there?). Super creepy at first, then downright terrifying as she's running away from a collapsing universe. It even brings The Traveler back!

I really love hearing about 10 things You Didn't About Beverly Crusher.

2364 the 24th century. I want to have the autograph.

In my nearly entire series watch, she struck me as the "only sane (wo)man" and probably the most humanized character that wasn't Data. She didn't get too many crappy episodes, but she was a balanced, fun character overall and I'd probably put her in my top ten or eight favorite trek characters. I still maintain that (controversial!) a lot of the TNG characters were dry and cardboard in personality and flaws compared to the later series, but she was less so.

Thanks. 🖖🏻

Holy Ghost, its about Crusher

CRUSHER WAAAAAAAAATCH!... Oops, beggin' your pardon, Ma'am. Wrong channel again. 😂

Gates McFadden speaking frenchcmakes she much sense because she always said "Jean-Luc" so well

HOLD UP: Thank GOD she was in Nemesis, she explained what a Thalaron Generator does, cause I had NO FKIN' CLUE😂😂. Also, there is a band called GROPPLER ZORN.... They're on RU-vid.

"Those who can; do. Those who can't; teach Those who can't teach, teach teachers." I don't know who first said that, but it was a pretty common saying around the teacher's college I attended. But not where the professors could hear. "Those who can; do. Those who can't; teach Those who can't teach, teach gym." Quote from Jack Black's character in School of Rock.

Dr. Crusher is THE BALLS. That is all.

How did I know, even before clicking on the video, that this video was going to be narrated by Ellie?

I loved "Attached" and was so disappointed in the end... and then even more so that the story didn't go the same way it did in the script copy I got... (the door was much more left open to a relationship)

'Sub Rosa' is her best episode? 🤷😅

I feel there was a joke opportunity missed. Jacques Lecoq Grande? Does anybody get/remember that? He likes to make French Canadian pizza. You know, a Pop-Tart with ketchup.

I certainly much preferred Crusher over Pulaski, she just seemed so much more mellow and laid back, while not trying to be McCoy Mk.2 (Pulaski's transporter phobia, one-liners and random insults akin to her predecessor a century prior), even in Picard S1 where JL needed to speak to "an old friend" regarding his health, I so hoped it would have been a cameo for Bev, but no, we got a new guy allegedly Picard's CMO from the Stargazer, which was the first of the disappointments for S1 & 2...

Her hair is divine.

As a young lad I had such a crush on Crusher lol I found her to be much more appealing than Deanna. She was smart and funny and capable and just more interesting to watch, even when they didn't properly utilize her. And that red hair... lol

Dr. Crusher, was also a damn fine cook 🍳 😋!

Clicks on a video promising "10 things I didn't know about a character" and instead gets 3 things about the character and 7 about the actress who plays the character. You might want to re-title this one. Maybe... 3 things you didn't know about Beverly Crusher and 7 more about Gates McFadden. Come on TrekCulture.... you can do better. That said; I always felt like Dr. Crusher never really got enough screen time.

I STILL have a crush on Dr.Beverly. My ex bought me a signed photo of Gates for Christmas one year and I put it in a frame by my side of the bed....replacing his picture. I understand why we are exes. LOL

Your hostess has a lovely voice but I would not have used her for VO in this instance. The tenor and the speed at which she is speaking make it almost impossible to understand her. One of the few times I'm glad CC was available.

W/Crusher now an Admiral, they must leave the door open for some Crusher-specific content in new projects going forward. It’d be a crime to not see more of the character.

TrekCulture not going to say anything about what the day is? 17, January AKA: 1701

Your amazing ellie do more in front of the camera narrating

What is the Good Doctor doing Today?

12:13 I had someone tell me "I hope you die." once. I responded, "I'd do it if it sent you to prison for life for my murder." It one thing to wish someone would die, but it's an entirely different level to willingly surrender your life just to make sure someone spent the rest of their life in prison.

seems more like info about the actor and creation of and not the actual character

Jaque leqoq 💀

I'd let Crusher command the Enterprise, let Picard run a tugboat.

I always liked Sub Rosa! Gothic horror theme! I was honestly SHOCKED by how much it's panned! Although, upon reflection, it is a bit silly...sex with a Ghost candle...🤣🤣🤣. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦🕊️

7 seasons and 26 episodes per season,I always felt her character was vastly under used.

I can’t believe you just casually skip over the fact that Beverly has another son??!! I haven’t, who is he? Who’s the dad? Where’s Wesley? Is it worth watching Picard to find these things out?

SEAN ADS FOREVER.

🖖🖖😆🖖🖖🍁

"Those who can, do; those who can't, teach." True in too many instances, however there ARE exceptions. 🤗

Would

Hey, i like the sex ghost episode! It has a lot of atmosphere!

#1. She _really_ likes ghosts 😉😏

Wow I'm surprised she's such an accomplished actress because I found her to be the least compelling main character in the show

#11: There's nothing wrong with her; there's something wrong with the universe.

There was nothing sexist about her writing in TNG. I hated her girl boss return and plastic surgery in Picard.

Hot woman

Preferred Doctor Pulaski

even with aging, she is hot !

I don't think they ever gave her a part or script that was suitable for her acting, so she came off badly on screen. In general, I preferred the doggedness of Diana Muldaur to McFadden. One con I went to she was at her table all alone, looking bored, with no one even wanting to talk or get a signature.

The square space ads at the end for the sponsor are terrible. Quite literally don't want to go near square space or remain a subscriber due to them 🤮

I don't know if I know of a more boring character than Beverly Crusher.

Typically you r basing most of your opinions on feelings & your personal beliefs not on the actual on the Hebrew scriptures themselves which means your antisemitic

This is nauseating propaganda.

Worked on aircraft for over 2 decades until I hurt my back and can no longer do it. However, as an instructor I can teach others to do what I loved to do. So, that saying isn't garbage and I'll thank you to keep your political activism out of my Star Trek video.

Do one on 10 reasons why people don’t give a sh!t about Bev.

Here are other things you may not know about Doctor Crusher. 1. Beverly is insufferable! 2. Beverly was a terrible mother. 3. Theres no way Starfleet would've given her a ship to command. 4. How many times did she break the Prime Directive? 6. Beverly never got promoted once on TNG.
