Frankly, I think many would agree that the character who spent the majority of their screen time not in a Starfleet uniform that had the most positive response when they did begin wearing one was... Deanna Troi

I'd give it to Seven.
Long as you count the blue uniform she wore during the latter part of the series... the gray one wasn't nearly as good a look for her, I thought.
Her blue science uniform is the only one I consider a proper Starfleet uniform. Honestly, I didn't mind her wearing the Farpoint scant one either
Anything else... I like about as much as Picard's constant penchant for plunging V-neck civvies
You know what the worst part about Star Trek V: TFF is for me? It's that the whole movie felt utterly pointless. I mean, they go and try to find God, but the person they meet is not actually God and that's it. That's the entire movie. I know that in the epilogue of the movie Kirk mentions that maybe God isn't out there, but in the human heart. If that is the point of the movie then I wish they would've made that point a bigger part of the plot. All it gets is a passing mention. I don't blame Shatner for all of this though. I know his original idea was for Enterprise crew to meet the actual God (and devil) as described in the bible with God being an alien that created humankind, but Paramount wouldn't let him do that. But man, that would've made for an epic movie! Instead all we get was some weak alien that can be hurt by starship weapons lol.
It's a tough call for me. Seven's uniform was definitely a big improvement over her painfully tight catsuit. Deanna had some nice civilian outfits, but some were a disservice to her character (Jellico made some mistakes, but he got that right).
On the other hand... I still get a big smile when I watch that scene with Wes emerging onto the bridge in his red ensign's uniform. And Neelix rocked that gold one, too. I wonder if his character might have gotten a little more regard if he had worn one from the start.
I guess the weakest one was Kira, partly because I never really liked the gray uniforms that much, and partly because her normal look was the best (i.e., she didn't look like a pinup, a geek, or a sofa).
Well, Gene advised against that. And they already met the devil in TAS.
"Meeting 'God' but it's really an alienz omg" is a really cliche story idea though that was already done several times in the original show.
So weird to think that by Phase 2 Kurtzman Trek standards:
- TOS ran for the equivalent of 8 seasons.
- TNG, DS9, and VOY all ran for the equivalent of 17 or 18 seasons each.
- ENT ran for the equivalent of 10 seasons.
- DSC would have the equivalent of 7 seasons, if it was 10 episodes per year throughout, and you threw in the first season of Short Treks, along with the Section 31 TV Movie. I basically count all of that as Disco.
Anyone else find Picard's pronunciation of the word "been" at the end of Best of Both Worlds Pt. 1 hilarious? When he's talking to the Enterprise as Locutus, he tells them "Your life, as it has been, is over" and when he says "been" he pronounces it as "bean".
That’s how you pronounce it
Bin or bean.
He's from Florida, we can't expect proper English.

I wasn't sure where to put this and I didn't really feel like creating a new thread. If you have a Paramount+ subscription that ends between now and September 20th, P+ is offering Half off both the essential and ad free versions. I was thinking about going Month to Month, but the prices of both Lower Decks and Discovery will pretty much cover the $70 that I was going to pay in installments. It's a pretty tempting offer. Just enter "SPORTS" in the promo code to get the discount.
Maybe he's been a being whose bean has been being.
Edit: Incidentally, in my part of the world, each of those words is said differently
Maybe he's (bin) a (beeng) whose (beeeeen) has (bin) (be-ing) lol

It's a bit of a trademark by now. Even Sir Patrick himself jokes about his "the line must be drawn HEAAAAAH" line in First Contact these days. Jean-Luc just has a cute way of talking sometimes. He's simply a very British Frenchman. And so adorable
He's from Beantown.
