Of course, quibbling about their nerd qualifications only reinforces their argument.
Riley: No pulse. Anya: Yup. The space lamb got 'im.
'Never Leave Me'
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

They also seem to think that the most amusing fanfic out there (in the sense of pointing and laughing) is the Garfield section at fanfiction.net.
Clearly, they missed the Golden Girls section.
Which reminds me, I should go into aff.net again soon and see if that damn Archie post-apoc novel was ever finished.

She wasn't canned! She left the show of her own power.
Oh, OK then.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And they brought her back, didn't they? An AU thing ....

ION, Ellen is really running out of stuff with no writers. Today's show included recreating a goofy Japanese game show, many many animals with Jack Hannah, and a whole segment of old pictures of Ellen. Oh, and a terrible "instructional" video she did early in her career.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They did bring her back. The team changed something in time that meant that she'd never died, but the Federation fell into war with the Klingons. Whoopi Goldberg senses the wrongness in this when confronted with Tasha, and urges Picard to make a decision which isn't the obvious one, because she thinks that will right everything.
Tasha gets the vibe she's not supposed to be there, so she goes back in time to help folks out there instead.
Turns out (and this is where it gets even foggier for me) that she doesn't die back in the past, and gets all tied up with the Romulans. So when "our" universe crosses paths with that one she's back again.
I think.
She left by her own choice--what was she intending to do? Did she have a beef, or a better offer?

Wasn't that one the offspring of Tasha and a Romulan?

As I just learned on Wikipedia, she felt like her role was turning into Uhura, and she wasn't for that -- nothing to do but stand around.

That would fit with the timeline better.
I'm so averse to actors playing their original character's parents or children (Dallas, I'm looking at you) that my mind seems to tidy up my memories.
she felt like her role was turning into Uhura, and she wasn't for that -- nothing to do but stand around.
I'm watching TOS right now, and Uhura got some screaming in. But seriously--she kinda went nowhere except back for a visit or two. I wonder if she stands by her decision.

Hilariously, the same wikipedia article says she's "worked nonstop," and then names like 10 guest spots.
I do wonder if, as an actor, you'd rather have a steady but somewhat crappy job.
