I couldn't find a thread like this, so thought I'd make my own. Pretty simple, who are your top five or ten Star Trek characters (any series)? Mine (in order): 1.) Capt. Picard 2.) Spock 3.) Data 4.) Garak 5.) The Doctor (VOY) 6.) Bashir 7.) Jadzia Dax 8.) Dr. Pulaski (I know a lot of people hate her, especially because she is basically TNG's version of Bones, but I loved her character). 9.) Tom Paris 10.) Seven of Nine
1) Damar 2) Quark 3) Picard 4) Doctor 5) Garak 6) Scotty(and not that NuTrek twerp) 7) Data 8) Kira 9) O'brien 10) Sisko
In chronological order: 1. Spock 2. Data 3. Ro 4. Sisko 5. Kira 6. Garak 7. Seska 8. Trip 9. Shran 10. nuScotty
TOS: Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Chekov TNG: Picard, Data, Troi DS9: Sisko, O'Brien VOY: Janeway, The Doctor, Tuvok, Kes, Seven ENT: T'Pol, Trip, Phlox NuTrek: Kirk, Spock, Bones, Uhura, Scotty I know that's more than ten - sorry!
As far as the Abramsverse goes, I pretty much like everyone. But not more than their TOS counterparts. I do think John Cho would be kick-ass as the lead in a Captain Sulu TV series.
I am not really a fan of anything besides TOS so my favorites (in this order) are 1) McCoy 2) Spock 3) Kirk Yes I am a trio fan through and through. Although I am also quite fond of Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov. Really I don't dislike anyone from TOS. I also like Sarek & Amanda a lot. Growing up I watched a lot of TNG and I think Picard and Data come out the most positive from my memories, but I wouldn't necessarily say they are favorite characters. edit: As far as NuTrek my favorites were Bones and Khan. But that is more because I liked Karl Urban and Benedict Cumberbatch's performances the best.
Without question, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. I like many of the other characters from all around the world of Star Trek, but placing them in order is extremely difficult.
Spock Kirk McCoy Scotty Uhura Sulu Checkov Love both the original and Nu characters. Tom Paris Will Riker Data
Kira Nerys Beverly Crusher Leonard McCoy (original) They are the main ones plus a handful of others from TNG and DS9.
Characters I love, not in any particular order: Spock McCoy Chekhov Picard Data Lwaxana Q Lursa and B'Etor Ben Sisko Jake Sisko Jadzia Kira Garak Rom Odo Martok Winn Dukat Janeway EMH Naomi
In no particular order: Jadzia Dax, Scotty, all 3 Siskos (dad, Capt. and Jake), O'Brien, Nog, Troi, Crusher, Kirk and I can't add any more since I'm limited to 10.
From the Original Series, of course . . . Kirk Spock McCoy Sulu Scotty Uhura Chekov Rand Sarek Amanda There would be more, but this'll cover the high points.
