Though it was great to see that species show up again in Lower Decks, season 2.
Most Anoying Star Trek Character ever

Looks like we're getting our wish in PIC's season 2...
This is the nastiest I've ever seen Q get. He even hauled back and SLAPPED Picard. 
Now that's scary. Imagine what Q could do if he's seriously pissed off at someone. Q could have turned Picard into a chicken if he felt like it...

Didn't Janeway take his mobile emitter away for a few episodes?
Not since Q Who have we seen such a dangerous Q. But he's also tender in a couple moments with Picard, which reminded me of Tapestry.Looks like we're getting our wish in PIC's season 2...

Moriarty, Fontaine, the EMH, and even the "Shadowplay" village really open up a can of worms and contradictions... starship computers are supposed to be incapable of sentience. But, a hologram's memory and personality resides within a computer. And, one does wonder why Data is considered unique, when not only sentience but human emotion can apparently be generated by any 24th century ship's or station's computer. And not even deliberately, in Moriarty's case. Maybe Riker could recreate Minuet by telling the holodeck: "Computer, create a woman capable of rocking my socks."

The answer is the same; NO.
1. Mariner from LD. Sweet Baby Jesus there has never been a more obnoxious, grating, inappropriately over-the-top, inappropriately insubordinate character in all of Trek. Just listening to her gives me a pounding headache.
2. Gray from DSC. Pointless, wasteful (the character was good on paper) and not particularly well-performed.
3. TNG Reginald Barcaly. Should have been a 1-and-done. He was much more interesting when paired with Troi in VOY.
4. Lwaxana Troi. Like running a rusty cheese grater across your sensitive parts.
5. Neelix can be really annoying, but there are times I appreciate him….so I’m ok there.
Runner up: Lore...he sucks. Every episode he's in is a stinker, pretty much.
I've seen a lot of votes for Vic Fontaine....that's interesting. I always kind of liked him in DS9. Wesley seems too obvious a choice, and frankly, I never disliked the character like others did.
VOY by a landslide.

Yes. I really like The Void, but it's so generic that it would be exactly the same if it was a TOS or TNG episode.
Fair enough, I can't remember.
Neelix - Just ugh. Hate from first sight.
Lwaxana - Just annoying without a single redeeming trait. I hate that we had to put with her once a year just because she was Roddenberry's wife. Even on DS9, where she didn't even have a connection to any of the characters.
Chapel - Annoying because every damn scene with her was just the same thing over and over. She hopelessly loved Spock. Got it. I got it from her first appearance in "The Naked Time." I didn't need that single character trait hammered home for another two dozen episodes.
Early Wesley - Cringe because the writers had no idea how to write a kid. Fortunately, he got better over time.
Janeway - I don't hate her as much as I used to, but she's really tough to take in the early episodes. Especially when the show treats her as awesome when she's pretty demonstratively not awesome.

Michael Burnham — she was grear in Season 1, then turned into a patronizing Mary Sue on her own show.
Neelix — also had a thing or two to do in the earlier seasons…but he was too old for Kes. And Naomi Wildman.
Ezri — Cousin Oliver didn’t need to replace Jadzia. I never bought her as a character. Farrell could have guested.
Rom — I didn’t find him endearing in later seasons. His over the top character in later seasons was an annoying Fourth Wall break as the writers’ favorite pet character. He was better as Quark’s meaner brother of earlier seasons.
Empress Georgiou — never forget she’s Space Hitler. I don’t care how cool or “delicious” she thinks she is.
Ro — quit sulking.
Mayweather — start sulking.
…gosh, I’m such a hater.

I wish folks would get it into their heads what ‘Mary Sue’ means.
But the word has lost all meaning through over-use.
One aspect of a Mary Sue character is the ability to save the day every single time.
Burnham does have that tendency, so it's not really a stretch to put her in that category.

All protagonists from all shows save the day on the regular.
Yeah, the Google definition is pretty much the exact opposite of Burnham. Instead, she's like an addict being enabled.

You are just jealous, humans took longer lol
James Kirk, never liked him
Can that be the most irritating/annoying character? Because Mary Sue sucks all the fun out of character discussions.
