In TNG... wooo's it gonna be? I only really detested Pulanski. DS9. Quark made my skin crawl. Enterprise... No opinion. Yeah yeah Pulaski! Re DS9: How about his goofy brother Rom? Wasn't that something out of some bad Disney cartoon or what? Enterprise - only one? ok: I nominate the show itself as one package deal. ;D |

TOS: Roddenberry wanted to shut up Pravda so he stuck in a Token Russian, he wanted to appeal to the suits at NBC so he gave him a Beatle cut and, to add insult to injury, the writers gave him character-interraction & love scenes that should have gone to Sulu! Who do you think I'm gonna vote for there?
TNG: All of the superfluous characters were eventually removed so there's nobody to choose from there. Even the underused crewmembers served significant functions by design.
DS9: The recurring appearances of Cassidy Yates, Sisko's girlfriend turned 2nd wife, and Keiko's not being a recurring character emphasized that Jake could have been given the same designation if it weren't for the dreaded Demographic Quotient that even syndicated stations love so much(how else do you explain Wesley's appearances on TNG?)!
VOY: IMO, Harry was also a demographic decision, so an interesting Chakotay/Paris hate-turns-to-mutual-respect development was ruined by the big brother/little brother thing that Paris and Kim attempted to portray.
ENT: Somebody's got to steer the ship on a regular basis due to the precedence set on other Trek shows(except DS9, unless they planned to have a steady helmsman for the Defiant and it fell through). Hoshi is in danger of becoming an Uhura clone if the Universal Translator continues to work properly and the aliens continue to use recognisable English words. Hoshi is my reluctant choice. She's cute as a button! ;D

Maybe you should work on your bedside manner Doc!

Another vote for Jake. It is funny, but I never considered him a major character. I know that Cirric Lofton had his name in the opening credits, but I never thought much about him. Opening credits don't mean a great deal, obviously, as Jake had his name up in lights, but it wasn't till season 2 of TOS that Deforrest Kelley was put up along with Nemoy and Shatner. Still, bye bye JakeVOY: IMO, Harry was also a demographic decision, so an interesting Chakotay/Paris hate-turns-to-mutual-respect development was ruined by the big brother/little brother thing that Paris and Kim attempted to portray. Poor Harry, not really. You all are just stating the truth(IMO). Funny, that so many of us say Voyager could have done without him/or even done better without him, but the writers never saw it.ENT: Somebody's got to steer the ship on a regular basis due to the precedence set on other Trek shows(except DS9, unless they planned to have a steady helmsman for the Defiant and it fell through).

The fact that writers "stuck him in there" and did very little with him reinforces my demographics theory regarding Harry, and as for your theory regarding Hoshi, Aragorn,  how did you know? Have you been tapping my phone or my brain? If the former, you owe me a huge phone bill, young man! If the latter, you're starting to scare me!  |

You could always put aluminum foil over all your windows and doors. Also wearing a necklace of garlic around your kneck just might keep me from tapping into your innermost thoughts. Maybe |

After having spent a few days watching DS9 episodes ( 8 of them in complete disorder. ;D ) I have come to the horrifying fact... I am starting to like Quark ( someone give me something to get the bad taste out of my mouth ) who I originally wrote off with the words "makes my skin crawl"... Nog bugs me, Klingons are growing on me, and if I had not cried my eyes out watching "the Visitor" I would have liked to seen Jake parting for earth in the next shuttle. And I might have a thing for another bald captain... |
