The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Right? Stupid studio. They should never be allowed to make creative decisions.
I don't recall that being a studio decision. I thought it was showrunners/producers?
Maybe. I thought it was Roddenberry and the Producers who didn't like the direction the character was moving in, they chose to replace her. Patrick Stewart was pissed. They realized their mistake and brought her back for S2.

I found this on some random message board just now:

Another explanation arises from an April/May 1994 story published in Star Trek the Official Fan Club Magazine. The story claims that McFadden attempted to renegotiate her contract at the end of The Next Generation’s first season. Although this may be a reasonable ploy for an actor on a hit series, Paramount refused to meet her demands and removed her from the program. The article also claims that when McFadden returned to Star Trek, it was at a lower salary than the rest of her co-stars.

By Studio I meant Producers.
Man I wish Roddenberry were around today.
Me too.
His mind turned me into an optimist. I wanna find that again.

That's actually interesting, now that I think about it: Data never had any great foil on the crew like Spock did with Bones because of Roddenberry's mandate that no one be hot-headed or adversarial.
