Best First Officer in the history of Trek

Sorry, my favourite XO in sci-fi was Saul Tigh, though now he's being supplanted by Kelly Grayson.

Oh, this is about Star Trek, isn't it? I still stand by my answer.
 
Top notch supermodel walk, taller than a mountain, lean like a stick

Extremely reserved and well thought, counts his words

Original alien species, and an odd one
You mean the gibbering idiot who had a meltdown on the first away mission we saw him on?
 
Can we agree that Decker was the worst (even putting the actor's moral problems aside)?
No, the worst was Lt. Cmdr. Cavit. Seen here at the height of his career, being completely outclassed by Harry Kim:

That was funny.

Seriously wouldn't Burnham be the worst though? She turned on her Captain and friend. At least that poor schmuck above meant no harm (except it would seem to himself). The only service we saw Michael do for her Captain was save her com badge.
 
What is a thread that is so obviously all about Chuckles doing in the Discovery Forum? I'll just move this thread over to the Voyager Forum where it clearly belongs. :evil:

Seriously though, ranking Saru over Spock should get you flogged. Spock XO is best XO.

Saru rates with Ferengi versus kiddie crew episode or playing with his joystick or Generations level Riker, but not Borg Riker. He was at full beard power against the Borg.

I don't recall Saru sticking his hands in a reactor core to save his fellow crew.

Nope, pretty hard to pass the Spock test.

Spock actually failed that one. As first officer, the job is to delegate and organize. Spock should *not* have been in that reactor. He should have been ordering an engineer (who is less vital to the ship) to do it instead.

Also, he wasn't even first officer during WoK. At that point Spock was captain of the Enterprise, which makes it doubly inappropriate.

1. Spock
1. Riker (tie)
3. Kira
4. T'Pol
5. Saru
6. No first officer at all.
7. Michael Burnham
8. Sutherland Jerk
9. Getting hit by a shuttlecraft.
10. Chakotay

FTFY

I am curious though what has Saru done to earn any rating? Shit all. He took care of the ship when Lorca was in prison. Give him a medal..

An engineer who was already wearing one of those handy radiation suits.
