T'Pol, as mentioned in several posts in this very thread.
Best First Officer in the history of Trek
- Thread starter Sci-fi fan
- Start date
As others have already been mentioned, T'Pol. Not how I would have done it. I would have had T'Pol as an observor/advisor only and say place Reed as First Officer so you have the more optomisitic Archer vs the more cautious (everbody is out get us) Reed dynamic. With an experimental Engine you would need Tucker in Engineering more than the bridge.
The best first officer? Riker!!!! Nobody can sit a chair like him!
While Thelin is clearly the fan favorite, I'm a bit partial to Romah Doek.
Tom Nellis deserves a mention too.

I tbought T'Pol was more of an advisor.
Yeah, the next-highest-ranking Starfleet officer on the ship was Trip, but T'Pol was made the de facto first officer since her presence aboard Enterprise was so valuable due to her extensive knowledge of the regions of space the ship would be visiting.
She was most certainly the NX-01's XO, as she was the one who always took command in Archer's absence, and indeed Starfleet even officially made her the ship's captain when Archer was incapacitated in the alternate timeline in the episode Twilight.
Yawn...September wants its argument back...
Anyway back on topic...Spock for me!
An opinion is not a truth...no matter how many times you feel the need to present it as such...but anyway...back on topic...
I think a much better test would be something that tricks you into thinking it's real, like with Wesley at the academy entrance thing, or whatever it was.
...in my opinion.

Spock (not an opinion)
Mirror Spock. Survived for years in a mad universe, under the command of a psychopath and mass murderer, on a ship full of traitors and backstabbers.
had not thought of that.
Don't you know the rules we Star Trek fans must live by? Unless you write "IMO" in your post, it cannot be canonically considered to be your opinion.
I would like to Nominate Commander Shelby as best first officer. In the two episodes she spent on the enterprise D, she played a pivotal role in responding to the Borg threat. She showed Commander Riker how a first officer should take the initiative to compliment the captain with new information rather than just be a reflection of the captain's ideas... so much so that he made her first officer and modified her battle plan to rescue Picard. She did so well in the first officer role that Starfleet pulled her off the ship to do a fleet-wide assignment preparing the federation for a war footing.
If I were Doug Jones I'd be glaring at you right now and issuing a restraining order.
