The last battle had Nimoy vs Spiner. It was an epic battle, but it looks like Nimoy pulled it out at the end. Two great actors, to be sure..
THE BETTER ACTOR? BATTLE #2
René Auberjonois as ODO vs Robert Picardo as The Doctor
This is an interesting battle, as you can see. Both characters are played by two, really good, character actors. Odo, as much as Nimoy's Spock, opened our eyes to a whole new race in the Founders. Over the seven years of Ds9 we got to see Odo evolve from this grumpy "sherrif" into a very interesting, and romantic, being. My favorite ODO moment is when he just grabs Kira and kisses her for all to see. Loved it!!! Odo became, as much as Spock was, a great viewer of humanity from and outsider's view. When he finds out that it was the Feds who infected him and thus he infected his own people? This really hurts Odo because he thought the Feds were above that kind of act. Sure, Section-31 is not humanity at it's best. But it is still a operation ran by, even if covertly, Starfleet. A real eye opener for Odo. Odo's seven year cat/mouse game with Quark was very fun, even to the very end!
Robert Picardo puts his stamp on Holo-characters. We had seen them before, here and there, in other Trek outings; Moriarty comes to mind. But Picardo's incredible acting ability really creates, I think, Voyager's best character in terms of depth and character evolution. He comes on grumpy at the start but wow, what a trip he goes on. Some of my favorite episodes from Voyager (which isn't my favorite Trek show I admit) are based on the Doctor. I loved the episode where he created that family in the holodeck and Paris made it more realistic. And when the aliens tapped into one of his holodeck programs and thought that he, the Doctor,was some great hero? Or when he gets transported back to Federation space on a stolen star ship? Great stuff there..great stuff indeed..
So...who was the better actor? Rene Auberjonois or Robert Picardo??
