[GAME] Our Collective Favourite DS9 Character Game

[JustKate]

(How has Damar made it this far?)

(Because Damar is just so cool! At least I think so. I already voted today so I can't back that up with 20 more points, but that's the reason. What can I say? I have a weakness for characters who find redemption, and while there are several of those on DS9 - redemption is practically the theme of DS9 - he's my favorite.)

[ZMistress]

I like Damar lots, but he's not my favorite. He's still far too much of a soldier type for my taste and he's less charismatic than Garak and less complex than Kira.

Also rather shocked that Damar has made it this far. He never really "stuck out" to me as a great character.

(How has Damar made it this far?)

(Because Damar is just so cool!

He is cool... but he is not that cool.
I think he would deserve the 3rd place... on TNG or maybe even on TOS. But not on DS9. He deserves to be in top 5... maybe.

Oh, DevilEyes...

The topic is "favorite" (or rather, "favourite" ), and of course that's nuthin' but pure, undiluted personal opinion. There may be reasons or logic, but there doesn't have to be. And let's face it: In the end, facts and logic don't matter in choosing a favorite. "Favorite" doesn't mean "best" and it doesn't mean "most important." It means nothing more nor less than...well, "favorite." How can you say a character doesn't "deserve" to be somebody's favorite?

Does rocky road ice cream deserve to be my favorite flavor? There are lots of other really great ice cream flavors! Does Harvey deserve to be one of my favorite movies? But what about Citizen Kane?

I mean, I'm perfectly fine with Damar not winning this little game - which is good since he probably isn't going to. And that's fine. There are lots of wonderful characters on DS9 to choose from, and while I'm pleased he's made it this far, I'm also a bit surprised. But please, let's give up this pretence that a character has to be deserving to win. All a character has to do to win is get the most points as favorite character.

Actually, I was not the one who brought up the idea of being deserving. apenpaap and Deranged Nasat specifically said:

(I am not in the least surprised to see Damar making it this far. He was a great character, and deserves the third place.)

(Damar is indeed worthy of third place)

Of course it's all a matter of personal opinion. And just like apenpaap and Nasat can express their personal opinion that he is deserving of a third place, I can express my personal opinion that other characters are more deserving, right?

Anyway, I hope you don't get the impression that I don't like Damar. I do. It's just that there are some 5 or 6 characters on DS9 I like more.
