I have been analyzing the women of Trek as of late. Considering the male to female ratio in the franchise is rather to one side, I have been wondering who people consider their favorite and least favorite female character and also why? Please share any opinions you may have! Also, preferably a reoccurring female unless you absolutely cannot think of one! Thanks!
Favorite AND least Favorite Female Character?

A caution to anyone who may be inclined to post images: If this even begins to smell like a "Babe of the Week" thread, it's liable to get shut down pretty fast.
I am sorry! Not my intentions at all!
Not assuming it was, but I've seen where these threads tend to go.
Favorite: Emperor Georgiou
Least Favorite: I don't think I have one. At least not one that's coming to mind. At some point, the day after I post this, someone will pop up and I'll think "Oh yeah!" but I can't think of anyone right now. I don't have a problem with Pulaski or Nachayev, who are some of the most common choices. And, even though some people don't like her, I think Winn makes for a compelling villain.

Favourite: Kira (no nonsense power figure but still with some issues), Janeway (same).
Least favourite : 7 of 9 (too much of a cliché after Data's, and the EMH 'discovering humanity'arcs. Nothing to do with the actress though, she did a fine job with the material she was given, it's merely the character I don't like that much), Jadzia (pretty, but somehow I couldn't feel sympathy for her), Lwaxanna (though she was supposed to be annoying and even she had her moments).

Favorite: Dr. Katherine Pulaski and Ezri Dax. Both characters were likable and charismatic, and each had chemistry with the other cast.
Least Favorite: Nurse Chapel and Jadzia Dax(wisecracking Klingon fangirl Dax from seasons 4-6 specifically).
Star Trek has given actresses strong guest roles to play over the years. Carolyn Seymour comes to mind. She played a Romulan twice on TNG plus one of the enlightened aliens in First Contact, and I enjoyed each of her performances.

I enjoyed Ellen Geer's perfomance as the obsessed scientist in Silicon Avatar(TNG).

Who could forget Nancy Parsons(from Porkys) appearing as Sovereign Marouk on The Vengeance Factor(TNG).

My favorite is not a main character, but she was recurring, & influential. K'ehyler. It don't get much better than her imho, & I wish, more than any other character, that she'd been able to be around more
Least favorite... Well, I tend to struggle to get through a lot of Voyager episodes, but that battle goes up tenfold any time Naomi whatsherface is in one. Granted, I haven't seen that many

Naomi Wildman is pretty much the only child character in any tv show that I actually like. But to each their own.
Favourites: Janeway and Seven.
Least favourites: Kes. I’m also not too fond of Jadzia or Kira but I haven’t finished DS9 yet so maybe I’ll change my mind.
Seconded. Didn't think of her as I only considered regulars, but it was nice to see a well-integrated Klingon-human hybrid for a change... much more so than Worf (ok, no hybrid, but a cultural hybrid still), or later, B'Elanna. Or at least superificially more so, she still had her own issues to work through.... besides, she would have made a great companion for Worf! Really a pity she wasn't used more.
I never said she was worse than any other kid character in Star Trek. That would be a pretty tall order lol
