Rate your favorite lead characters of all of Star Trek

[trekfan_1]

Apologies if this has posted before. I checked the first 5 pages and the closest thing I saw was a discussion thread for the best captain. Since not all Trek shows' lead character are starfleet captains, I'd thought I run a poll on who people think is the best lead character .
I have only seen one episode of LD but I think I have the correct character listed. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). And I think Dal is the main lead for PROD but maybe it's Gwynn ? Or are they co leads ?

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Kirk.

Mariner and Dal are the two I would've called the lead as well, though I suppose you could argue that Mariner and Boimler are kind of co-leads.

I toyed with idea of listing Picard twice since it can be argued you can have different opinions on him depending on which show . Decided against it to make things more streamlined. So if your someone who loved TNG Picard and disliked PICARD'S Picard (or vice versa), I suggest you average it out

My thoughts:
Kirk: While TOS wasn't my main Trek, it is hard to overstate the character's importance to the phenomenon as a whole.
Picard: Helped Berman era Trek find it's own identity. Smart, cerebral, and with enough weaknesses (isolated, bad with kids) to be human.
Sisko: The most well-rounded Trek protagonist, and the one who took the greatest character journey.
Janeway: Yes, she made mistakes. But she was still awesome.
Archer: Inoffensive, but unexceptional.
Burnham: See "Archer".
Mariner: I find her irritating, maybe because I'm more like Boimler.
Tal: He has his moments. But needs seasoning.
Pike: Too soon to be sure, but I like him so far.

Sisko. Guy had a sense of humour.

 

[Alexander Corrino]

Jean-Luc, of course. (No, I’m not biased at all. lol)

 

[Oddish]

Of course you're not.

Multiple votes make it difficult to pick just one or two.... So I picked several characters. Kirk, Sisko and Picard among them.

 

[Qonundrum]

Kirk & Sisko

 

[Jedi Marso]

Kirk.

Ranking the captains (of the shows I've seen) top to bottom:

Kirk
Picard
Pike
Sisko
Archer
Janeway
Burnham

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Burnham in a heartbeat.

 

[Cyfa]

Sisko and Pike (My decision for Pike is based solely on his appearances in DSC as SNW is not out here yet )
Picard would have been up there as well, but I didn't really like him in his own show, so he was "averaged out". And Mariner almost made it but I just find her too much sometimes.

 

[1001001]

Janeway

 

[F. King Daniel]

This thread has opened my eyes to being a bigger fan of the supporting characters than the series leads for my whole life

 

[trekfan_1]

For those who chose Burnham, can you provide any insight as to why you like the character? Genuinely curious. Not a fan of her but I don't Outright dislike the character. Would be interested in hearing other people's perspective.

 

[Lord Garth]

This is "What's your favorite Star Trek series?" by another name...

... but my answer is Kirk.

 

[NCC-73515]

Boimler is missing

 

[Vger23]

Kirk
Sisko
Pike

The rest (all of whom I like…but just couldn’t rank at this time)

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Sorry, I was thrown by the use of the word "is."

Was that Clinton-esque of me?

Nah, I thought we had to pick just one.

Anyway, added in the rest of my favorites:

Kirk (TOS, TAS)
Picard (TNG, PIC)
Sisko (DS9)
Janeway (VOY)
Pike (SNW)
Mariner(LD)
