Most annoying regular character

[AdmiralScreed]

Picard used to get on my nerves at times, because he was always so smug and condescending. Especially in ST:FC and "The Neutral Zone" when he bragged about how better things were in his future.

The Neutral Zone was a social commentary on many of the problems with our society in the 80's. Many, if not all, of those problems still exist today. Poverty, hunger, disease, greed, corruption, the list goes on. I found Picard's speech in TNZ to be very inspirational. The Utopian society in TNG is something that mankind should work towards.
I'm not sure I understand what it is about Picard's attitude that you find condescending. Those speeches he gave were meant to inspire, not insult.

^ I didn't say Picard was *wrong*, he just seemed to gloat while he said it. You could almost see the smirk.

I don't remember it seeming like he was gloating. He was merely stating the facts; mankind had come a long way in the last several hundred years. Humans had evolved and reached new heights.
I've only seen the episode once, though. The next time I watch it I'll try and pay extra attention to the way Picard gives his speech. Maybe I'll see what you're seeing.

Riker by far is the most annoying. He had all the emotional depth of an oily film. I wish he had been killed in the first season and a real first officer brought in.

 

[Ziriath]

Riker. I hate him. For the reasons, that have been already said. But I must say, the shaved Baby Face Riker was quite okay. That beard changed him, and I do not mean his appearance only. I'ts a similar thing, as Deanna's clothing. She was O.K., when she started to wear a regular starfleet uniform.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I actually liked Lwaxana. She was so outgoing and friendly, she's definitely my favorite of Majel's roles.

I love her because she is hilarious, annoying and attractive all at once, especially in DS9. Seems to have a great time in the role.

YOU can be my friend.

I was quite shocked that after having no love and quite a bit of annoyance for Troi for years I liked her very much in her VOY eps and in First Contact. She looked much better and suddenly seemed to be an interesting person. I wish she'd been like that the whole way through.

Troi definitely improved with age. Almost bearable by Nemesis. And I always loved Majel/Chapel/Lwaxana. Better comedienne than dramatic actress, imho.

 

[Captain April]

Chakotay. He was just so meh. I could never care about him, but then I'm biased as the best first officer ever was Spock. No XO could ever hold a candle to Spock.

Chakotay was first officer?

 

[Captain April]

Chakotay was first officer?

Who knows? He was like background noise to me, but I recall he filled that role, or was supposed to at least.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Chief Engineer Olsen got more character development in Star Trek XI than Chakotay did in all of Voyager.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Chief Engineer Olsen got more character development in Star Trek XI than Chakotay did in all of Voyager.

"O..Olsen is GONE sir!"



I don't know why but this line always cracks me up.

 

[Bones_McCoy21]

I'm going to go with Wesley Crusher for #1 and Beverly Crusher for #2 wow a whole family really sucks sorry if they were your favorites, I a little biased when it comes to doctors since I'm a HUGE McCoy fan.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Chief Engineer Olsen got more character development in Star Trek XI than Chakotay did in all of Voyager.

That's because Olsen was played by a real actor.

 

[Greg Cox]

Keiko O'Brien. The whiniest woman in Starfleet.

"But, Miles, what about our relationship . . . ?"

Just watch Picard trying to convince some poor local that he's not God, and I think you'll get the picture.
