Worst characters in each series

TOS: Chekov

TNG: Wesley

DS9: Jadzia

Voy: Neelix

Ent: Mayweather


Mayweather? :confused: He was barely in it, his character disappearing for episodes on end, and what little dialogue he did get was mostly functional and plot-related. How could he be most annoying?

Well, the title of the thread is "worst" not "most annoying" so it can be read as "which is the character you think was executed the worst by the writers and/or actor" and a character who is barely in the show, has little dialogue or characteristics is "badly executed" if you ask me.

That's why Harry is my pick on Voyager, for instance, instead of the EMH or Neelix who both greatly annoy me.

you're right, that's a fair way to read it. I thought "worst" and automatically connected it to "most annoying.":lol:
 
Agreed about Phlox, who managed to nauseate year in ... and year out. Between his doctoring, involving trendy Alternative Medicine approaches like using live animals on people, including maggots and such, or his sorry-looking rubber head, or his voice and duck waddle and personality in general, it would've been so satisfying seeing him "get it," instead of Trip, in "These Are the Voyages." He could have a slow, meaningless death, perhaps captured in a time-loop so that we can watch it over and over and over again ...

There's an episode of The Outer Limits that ends exactly this way. The villain is in a time loop, in which he has time to scream and die... It repeats again and again. The worst part being that as we learn in the episode, in each loop he remembers all the ones that preceded. Like an eternal damnation.
 
Neelix was really a bad idea, I don't get why they kept him even though everyone hated him. I mean the audience.
 
The Next Generation - Commander Riker.

^ Yup made no sense at all - he should have been ejected into space, suddenly. :D The writers desperately trying to fit him into episodes with random, boring nonsense-stories; the character struggling to be of any use on the ship. Ridiculous. I will say the Neelix episode with Wixiban was a v. good one tho...
 
In the hopes of giving some pointers to the creators of any future star trek series, who are some major or recurring characters that never should have existed? Here are my picks for those that were boring, annoying and should have been killed off after the 1st episode (or sooner).

If I have to choose just one from each cast:

TOS
-Matt Decker

TNG
-Wesley Crusher

DS9
-Kira Nerys

VOY
-Neelix

ENT
-Degra
