Bones! Good shout. Love the new one too.
Well... Don't hate me, because I used to like Voyager (didn't watch all of it though) and thought Chakotay was yummy.. err I mean a great character. 
I also liked Belanna. I didn't like DS9 much. I think the first few episodes put me off the show, but Dax and Bashir are my favourite from DS9. Picard and Data from TNG. And I was a huge fan of Dr. Crusher/Picard pairing. Too bad they never got together!
But my ALL time favourite character would be Mr. Spock. Haven't watched all of Original series, but I like what I've seen of him. He's got the most intense eyes ever! Oh and I also like Bones.

Didn't they kiss in the finale? And its obvious thats where they were going with them. Especially with the episode where they get mind linked on that planet.

that episode was awesome......................ly bad.
Riker's silk nightgown thingie with the wide open chest was ridiculous.
the cheesiness of the first season of TNG is shocking, in retrospect. nowadays, I don't see how that show could've gotten a second season. (but thank God it did)

Tuvok+Neelix=Tuvix :lol :lol :lol
He was such a better/more interesting character than any of the Voyager crew, even with only one episode, and Janeway MURDERED him for it.

He was a terribly written character that had no real place on the show. He was shoehorned in to essentially be someone the kids could relate to, like Robin was for Batman. Didn't help that they never did anything really interesting with the character. Only after he left did they mange to put together a few good episodes about him (First Duty was great).
At least Jake had an interesting story behind him, not doing the Starfleet thing and finding his own way/
At least Lucas in seaQuest was a useful member of the crew.
Another reason Jake > Wesley.
Wesley grows up to be a reject "Rocky" for The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Jake grows up to be The Candyman.

Cheebs said:You are not a true trek fan if you don't make the top 3 kirk spock and mccoy. Not including ANY of them in your top list makes you a embarrassment
Picking a bunch of DS9..etc characters makes you a TNG era fan NOT a real Star Trek fan imo. There is the TOS crew and then a bunch of wannabe's.
Like I said earlier, completely agree.
Dax01 is like those kids who's only artistic history is through anime; except his is modern sci-fi television.

Why mention me? What are you trying to prove? There are other people in this thread who like characters that came later and value them more than Kirk, Spock, or McCoy.bengraven said:
I don't understand what you are trying to say with this "artistic history" thing, but I don't watch anime.

they focus on you because you're notorious for liking ds9. which is a totally justified position. because it is the best, aka, my favorite.
the difference in his comparison is that getting all your sci fi knowledge through modern anime is less thorough and thought-provoking than the material it's based on, while the older sci-fi shows being defended are quite a bit less dense than their modern counterparts.

I'm still not sure I completely understand, but I've watched all the TOS episodes and I just like '90s science-fiction more (and the more modern stuff). There isn't any other science-fiction worth watching around the TOS era besides The Twilight Zone and Flash Gordon. That leaves movies: 2001 is my favorite movie so I don't know how that's not having artistic taste. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a favorite of mine, too; I've been meaning to rewatch Blade Runner...beelzebozo said:
Modern-day science-fiction less thought-provoking and thorough than their predecessors? Of course I disagree with that.
