Most Disliked Delta Quadrant Aliens

I think they were an even worse misfire than what the Ferengi were intended to be in TNG. At least with the Ferengi, their culture was interesting enough to explore in more detail, and we got Quark out of it.
The Kazon, even with the attempts to go into more detail with them, just weren't that interesting.

Rules who needs rules and I'd have said Stuff Roddbenberry we are doing new things.
Good points, Sophie.
Many of them--especially the ones that were obvious retreads of certain ones back home
I've actually thought meeting the Klingons would do the Kazons good. They could learn a lot and perhaps unify for good. If they did, they likely would be quite imposing. I also have to say a Kazon version of Kahless would be really cool.
As far as the OP, I'd say the Tak Tak and B'omar.

The B'omar were rather annoying. Though I suppose they were simply just tight about managing their borders. The episode wants you to dislike them but think about it from their perspective. They live in a difficult and tough quadrant. They have all sorts of measures in place to protect their society. Then this alien ship comes and demands passage through their space. You set a course for them. They complain and are ungrateful because "it's not fast enough". Then you hear from them they have a Borg drone or ex Borg drone on board that had stolen a shuttle craft and is headed off to who knows where. Not only do these aliens seem foolish for doing this to begin with but they then arrogantly tell you "we'll go after her." When the B'Omar have every right to consider Seven a security threat.
Ok, so I’ve had a very love hate relationship with voyager, for everything I liked, there were things I wish were done better. For me, I’ve noticed that a lot of species have an interesting premise, but then when you think about them for too long you go “wait what?!” For instance, a species that ages backwards, or a species that reproduces by grave robbing. Now funnily enough I actually don’t have a problem with that, in fact I actually like the kobali and would love to see how their culture works. But a species I just can’t stand, can’t wrap my dad around, and can’t even pretend to like, are the ocampa.
like what could I say that hasn’t already been said!
A painfully short lifespan, one timeframe when they have to reproduce otherwise that’s it, birth while standing upright, producing at best one offspring. Like clearly this species wasn’t meant to survive right?

Before this thread gets shut down, I'll throw in my two bits...
Three species were kind of pushing realism.
The Kazon had slow ships, and needed water? That's not exactly much of a threat here. I liked the concept of tribal warfare, and their weird hair didn't bother me, but they needed work.
The Ocampa reach maturity in two years... that's leisurely compared to the Jem'Hadar, but it's still questionable that a person could gain adult-level knowledge and awareness in so short a time.
And the Malon, dumping their trash in random places. Haven't they ever heard of... you know, stars? Or black holes? Space's answer to incinerators and trash cans, respectively.

Not sure why this thread would get shut down...
The Kazon definitely have my vote for the most disliked DQ aliens. As originally conceived, they were supposed to be space pirates, but instead they went for a space biker gang motif (their ships even somewhat resemble a motorcycle chassis) and the final product ended up being nothing more than bargain-basement Klingons with rocks in their hair. And their backstory was ludicrous. So they rose up against their slavemasters and stole their ships? Based on what I saw, those guys could barely keep their own petty squabbles between their factions together, much less have the technological knowhow to operate spacecraft. I could see their entire society crumbling in one generation.
Because the previous reply was over four years old. The mods don't like it when you bring back anything that's sat more than a year.
Ah, got it.
The Vidians..... Never liked them.
My most disliked VOY aliens? Whatever species Kes was, every time she or they appeared on screen I just wanted to throw summit at them!
That's quite the throw.
What? You could tolerate the Vidians? The experimenters made me think of TNG "Scisms" since they too were experimenters of a fashion.
I can see tolerating the Vidiians over the other ones.
The Vidiians were literally being eaten alive by the Phage, so it becomes a desperation issue. I thought their plight was brilliant because you have a built-in moral dilemma for that race.
The ones from "SCIENTIFIC METHOD" were basically just experimenting to get some results faster for various issues. Their need was not as dire as the Vidiians'. Plus they were being sneaky about it.
