The characters make me watch Voyager!

Chakotay was the one character I couldn't stand.

I concur and coincidentally I can't stand Riker either, even less actually.

There is no comparison, Chak is just there. Riker is awful. Most disliked character in Trek.

I actually like Riker!

There's no main character in VOY, TNG, DS9 and TOS I dislike. There are some I like better than others.

As for ENT, I never got into that one. I think that T'Pol is my least favorite among all the main Trek characters.

Still, ENT was a masterpiece compared to Stargate Universe and nuBSG.

The only character I was ever interested in on Voyager during its entire 7 year run was Chakotay, and wished that more episodes were devoted to him. Chakotay was a very "Riker-esque" character. :thumbsup:

Obviously many people dislike Chakotay. But he is one of my favorites. Multi-faceted and of Native American decent. I can´t understand why some people don´t like him. Neelix, hmmm, sometimes he sucks. Harry Kim, the one and only Ensign. I don´t dislike any on-screen characters, not even Wesley Crusher. Only literature characters come to mind. And then I´m content with never reading about them again.

Well, I did dislike Seven once, due to the fact that Kes was kicked out to make room for her and that those in charge made it look like the best thing ever done in any show. Later on I realized that I was wrong, taking out my frustration on the character, something I actually regret now.
I've re-watched a few season 4-7 episodes in recent time and find the character acceptable. But I still like the other characters more, maybe for nostalgical reasons.
As for Chakotay, he's number 2 on my favorite list.

I´ve come to like Seven because of what the authors made out of her in the Voyager Relaunch. Her friendship with her former crewmates and her love and care for her aunt Irene.

Riker?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

My most disliked character, yes.

 

[Kobayshi Maru]

My most disliked character, yes.

Hey, small world! It's mine as well.

I liked Riker. He was basically just captain residue. Can't have Picard popping down to planets and banging the local green women. Can't have Picard getting into punch ups. Can't have Picard beaming off into idiotic and dangerous situations

Riker was invented to do the heavy lifting. He did a good job

Kes bored the living shit out of me

You're talking about "First Contact" the episode, aren't you?
