The YouTube channel Red Letter Media has a series of videos on Star Trek and Star Wars. Mostly review/satire/comedy stuff. If I recall correctly, it was in the one of the Star Wars videos was criticizing a part of Star Wars credit to a guy named Rick, but on screen they showed a picture of Rick Berman.

Cue dramatic pause, then the lines "That's the wrong one. What is it with these Ricks"

It's their Mr Plinkett series. They did TNG movies and had long series for the Star Wars Prequel trilogy. The Ricks riff was the fact that Rick Berman was bad for TNG and Rick McCallum was a chump with Star Wars.

Regardless of it's overall dark satire, they really ripped the prequel trilogy to shreds with very accurate, very relevant critiques of story and character faults that CinemaSins could never hold a candle to.

Technically, her last scenes were in Redemption, as Sela. And her last scenes as Tasha were in Yesterday's Enterprise.

But Rick Berman is, has been, and always will be scum. The way he treated the women on-set was worse than Roddenberry.

There has been a off-handed remark I heard on The Delta Flyers that Colm must have had so much time off to film other things in his contract and Terry saying that is why they never got to do anything.

EDIT: Basically any time Colm isn’t in an episode of DS9, he was off filming other things.

She wanted less time on the series to do other things but Berman did allow it. So she was fired instead.

MisterD 4 points 9 months ago

I remember seeing an interview where she quit because of the grueling schedule where she had to be on set at like 4-5am but had to wait for her scene to be ready. Almost right after the word came out she was regretting her decision.

Now I think Rick might have heard of her complaining and "helped her out"

The way Denise (who knows him better than we do) reacted imo suggests she too thinks he's making shit up (again). But sure, he'd just have to say "sorry, I seem to have misremembered this. In the future, I will try to check with others before I publicly post about distant memories."

At the time, very much akin to ceremony. Women are generally treated better these days (but still not like they should be treated), but in the 90s they were very much looked upon like meat with pretty packaging.
