Well, seeing how she did not last very long on the show, I think the producer,
director, or whoever makes the decisions also didn't believe her as a security
officer. But, she does make a descent Romulan.
Another ST:TNG turkey was with the tar like creature which Riker was sucked
into I think that was also the show where Tasha died. Also Warf looked like a
whimpy Kilingon that first year.

Like ST:TNG didn't show rehashes or get mellow dramatic. How about when Riker
got stung by some deadly plant and then 80% of the rest of the show was a rerun
of previous shows. That's something Iv'e seen on 6 different episodes of Happy
Days. And the mellow drama on the Enterprise when Tasha Yar tried to explain
why people get adictted to drugs Wesley Crusher in context of an addicted
planet.
My whole point is the first year of all the recent Sci-fi TV shows tend to have
a lot of bugs their first year, but they seem to get worked out by the next
season. Sooner or later the shows actually build a following and people tend to
forget the turkeys at the begining. IMHO
