Dawn Arnemann (Miss Gladstone)

|
| |
| Notes |
Ian Troi is named after Deanna's father.
Several crew changes are made beginning in Season 2: Geordi is promoted to full Lieutenant (from junior grade) and made Chief Engineer. Worf is made permanent Chief of Security. Dr. Pulaski replaces Dr. Crusher as Chief Medical Officer; Dr. Crusher has transferred to head Starfleet Medical. Wesley decides to stay on board, and replaces Geordi as the conn officer.
Dr. Pulaski is transferred to the Enterprise via shuttle from the U.S.S. Repulse NCC-2544.
Also, Troi begins wearing her hair down, while Riker has grown a beard.
Guinan and Ten Forward are first seen.
Though she has replaced Gates McFadden, Diana Muldaur's credit appears as a "Special Guest Appearance", not in the opening credits. According to Rick Berman (who was against the idea), some of the "powers that be" believed that the Dr. Crusher character was not working should be replaced by someone with a personality more like Dr. McCoy from the Original Series.
Due to the Writer's Guild Strike, Season 2 started much later than normal and consisted of only 22 episodes.

Earlier this season in "A Matter of Honor", Will is shocked that Kang doesn't speak to his father ("but he's your father!").

Lwaxana is in the Betazoid "phase," a mid-life female cycle that quadruples a woman's sex drive.
Robert O'Reilly later will play Klingon Chancellor Gowron.
Mick Fleetwood is drummer (and namesake) of the band Fleetwood Mac.
