Top 3 Star Trek characters

Yes, I'm bored at work - sorry. Don't worry, I'll go away again soon enough!

Anyway - since we've been talking about Trek - and I see we have a lot of fans around here, I thought this would be fun.

1. Spock
2. Picard
3. Q

How about you?

Can't go past the original trio.

1. Kirk
2. McCoy
3. Spock

1. Picard
2. Kirk
3. Spock

1.Quark
2. Spock
3. Kirk

I elevated Quark to the no. 1 spot for me because every scene he is in is gold. Kirk is entertaining to watch but I identify more with Spock.

1. Wesley Crusher
2. Red-shirt guy/gal
3. Khan

1. Spock
2. Data
3. Scotty

1. Data
2. Picard
3. Spock

1. Picard
2. Seven
3. Odo

1) Spock
2) Data
3) Tie between Q, Kira and Odo

1) McCoy (but really it's a tie for the original trio)
2) Picard
3) Seven

I was thinking about padding the list with another two, but really all contenders pale next to Q. Each of his episodes was simply a treat.

1. Picard
2. Data
3. Scotty

1. Worf
2. Scotty
3. Odo

In no particular order…

Harry Mudd
Q
Khan Noonien Singh

Harry Mudd - was he in 3 or just 2 show ? I know there was the one with furry wurry and andriods but can't remember if there was a third.

He was in 2 episodes of TOS, 1 of TAS, and I believe 2 so far in Discovery. He's played by Rainn Wilson in Discovery and is one of the few worthwhile performances in that series.

If I remember right, I believe Mudd was also in one of the animated episodes/log books. Something about the Federation issuing a warrant because he was pedaling love drugs maybe. Poor Chapel gets kidnapped =xxxx.

Thanks, Oh I haven't watched any of the TAS or discovery series - won't watch discovery while they are on cbs thingy.

Data
Picard
Gul Dukat

I much preferred Data to the Vulkans, as the conception of Vulkans as strictly logical beings was always a bit muddy, and doesn't make a great deal of sense. I always thought Data was much more plausible and well-considered as an expression of a superior but purely logical mind. He understood, as a powerful computational mind probably would, the limits of its own mathematical, logical cognition, and so he had a fascination and aspiration to the possibilities of the organic mind.

While I really like Data and Brent Spiner's portrayal - I felt his constant pursuit of humanity was silly and far-fetched. It never made the slightest sense to me.

At least not until his emotion-chip.

Same is true for his countless human-like observations and motivations.

But I agree about Vulcans - I find them rather dull and one-sided.

That's why I'm so fond of Spock, because he's only half-Vulcan - and I find his conflicted nature dramatically appealing - and a much more plausible mirror of the challenges of the human condition.

Gul Dukat was a great villain except for the end bit.
