If you quit watching then, you quit -way- too soon. Check out episodes
from seasons three through seven, especially seasons three and four, maybe
five, too. Gates McFadden (Crusher) and Marina Sirtis (Troi), but mostly
McFadden, noted that they really had to struggle to get anything
interesting to do, but they eventually did and it showed up later in the
series. Troi got her rank advanced above Data, who I think was third in
command. Maybe fourth after Dr. Crusher. Speaking of whom, Crusher
commanded the Enterprise once, stuff the old series women would never get
to do (I'm thinking of Uhura and Yeoman Rand).
