So which "outsider alien" or "non human" character was your favorite in all of Trek? There's quite a long list to choose from:
*Spock *Data *Worf *Troi *Jadzia *Odo *Quark *Garak *Neelix *Seven *Kes *B'Ellana *The Doctor *T'Pol *Phlox
I think that is all of them. Obviously some of the above aliens were less outsiders than others, eg Spock and Data were exploring their humanity, whereas Worf and Jadzia were very close with humans - Worf was brought up by them and Jadzia was close with Sisko.
If I forgot someone, or if there is someone you think is worthy of mention, than feel free.
Which one was your favorite?
Which do you think best explored the human condition?

Should Garak be up there?
And yes, I like all of them--though Spock, Data, and the Doctor are particular favorites.

I am going with Worf.
His character and that of The Klingons were so well developed by TNG and DS9. What really seals the deal on Worf happened fairly early in TNG.
When Gowron and Duras are "fighting" to become the next Klingon High Chancellor, Duras goes to Worf's first wife for support, she turns him down cold, he kills her. Then Worf, disregarding any Starfleet nonesense, goes after Duras. Defeats him in battle.
However, what happens next clinches it for me. Picard and Riker have beamed over to Duras' ship, Duras is defeated and on his back, Worf circles the Bat'Leth in the air and buries it in Duras. That was cool. None of that pounding the Bat'Leth into the deck next to Duras, no stopping to contemplate, Worf just plain and simple takes the guy out.
I loved the way the writers let Worf do what he should. They wrote him as a true warrior. The baddest Klingon to exist since Kahless.

There are so many. I knew I had forgotten someone, that's why I said sorry if i did in the post. I actually liked Garak. He was GREAT!!

I would pull the Doc and Data from the list, as they were not aliens, But Human constructs, That grew more"Human" as time went on and add Ezri. I will once again go with Garak, His whole shadowy background, Never knowing if he was friend or foe. That is just part of the intrigue of DS9.

Oh gosh, I can't choose. So I'll go with one from each series ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Yeah, I'm taking the cheap way out ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) TOS-Spock TNG-Data DS9-Jadzia, but only because I'm personally disqualifying Garak because he wasn't technically a "main character". VOY-B'Ellana ENT-Phlox Now.. of those five.. I'd have to say Data was my favorite.. He was the first Trek character I ever really liked, and "Data's Day" was the episode that converted me into a Trekkie (yeah, I'm not an old school TOS fan, but give me a break, I'm only 22!).

I am an old school Trekker and I would say Spock with Worf a not-too-distant second. Each character had a chance to grow, develop and, more or less, fit in with their respective crewmates(Worf did this twice which is why he's a close second) to the point of being invaluable to them.

I have always been particulary fond of Guinan. Data and Spock.
I like Seven quite a bit. But there is a nothing in this wold that can make me apprichiate Neelix. Or the other Vulcans. Man they are DRY.
BUT I LOVE THE DOC!!!!!

I'd have to go with B'Elanna and Jadzia--two of my favorite women characters in Trek.
