Suder is a little too strange for my taste. I admit the actor did a great job in portraying the character, but Suder gives me the creeps.

I'm not the biggest Klingon fan at the best of times, but I always found Torres to be particularly grating.

I never liked Trip. Next to T'Pol, he's my most disliked ENT character.

Another vote for Uhura. About all I can say in her favor is that, at least, she never talked about people sleeping with farm animals.

Another vote for Suder. While he is interesting, I'd much rather watch any of the other characters over him. He's also hindered by the fact that he only did three episodes.

Uhura. I really like her, but she was woefully underused and underwritten, which can't be said of the other characters on the list.

Another vote for Uhura- she's just a glorified background character for most of the TOS material. The only time she really gets any sort of role beyond comm. officer is STXI.

Suder, he just doesn't belong with the rest of these characters.

I vote for Sudar too. I liked his character a lot, but he was only in three episodes, so he doesn't quite hold a candle to the others.

And I can't believe we're in General Trek already. I've been so busy at work and with family/friends the last few days that I missed all the elimination fun! Damn you real life! Spock, Garak, Kira, Seven of Nine and the Doctor are the glaring emissions from the list for me. So curses to all you people out there choosing the wrong characters! What is wrong with you?

NEW ROUND!

I'll move onto Quark. I loved his character but he was tainted by all those Ferengi episodes. He was far more interesting when totally uninvolved with all of that pantomime.

Voting for Torres because she's my least favourite character in the list and I dislike a lot of her centric episodes on VOY because they usually revolved around her being moody and unrestrained - which was something we'd already seen with Worf.

Torres - Have to agree with Admiral M's assessment of the character. I too often found her too moody and unrestrained.

Torres - by far my least favorite character here. I don't think the whole hybrid thing was done that well with her. K'Ehleyr was a much better Klingon/Human character.

Trip - while I do like him, he's not my favorite, even from ENT. So, he has to get my vote.
