Which Trek series can you not stand because you hate the crew?

Norrin Radd

Vice Admiral
For me, I find it very difficult to watch Voyager, even the "decent" episodes. The major reason is, with the exception of B'Elanna, I can't stand the characters. So, no matter how good the plot is, I can't get past that fundamental roadblock.

Are there any Trek series you dislike because of the same reason?

Same reason with Voyager, for me.

As for Enterprise...I didn't hate it so much as see a lot of missed potential.
 
I don't mean to disrepect anyone's favorite series, but I can't stand the Voyager characters. I've tried to sit down and enjoy Voyager several times, and I can never get past how much I dislike the people on this show. It's not so much the actors, I just don't think the writers gave them anything to work with. Many of the voyager characters have thin personalities to begin with, and the others are inconsistent.

I do like the doctor though. He was the one character that I thought was decent.

I don't care for the enterprise characters that much more, but I found the attempts to make them more human interesting at least. I also have a weakness for Scott Bakula. Doesn't make me like the show that much better though.

I mostly have learned to live with the fact that there are a couple of Star Trek shows I'll just never learn to appreciate. It drives me nuts sometimes because the other three are my favorite tv/movie anything, so I'm dying for more, I've just found I can't get it with VOY and ENT.
 
I have never found the good in ENT crew. I don't HATE any of the characters in ENT, because I have no reason whatsoever to hate anything about fictional characters, but I guess I was not able to connect with the ENT crew at all. There are some good ENT episodes, which are well written IMO, but because I dont' really connect with the characters, I don't really care what is going to happen to them.

Voyager crew is the best one for me. The only crew I could have watched 15 seasons without any problems at all. Love them.
 
I can't recall having this problem, although I try to avoid Neelix-centric VOY episodes, or anything where Travis Mayweather has more than 2 lines. :guffaw:
 
What is wrong with Travis Mayweather? And this is an honest question without any intention to cause drama, because I have watched only handful of ENT episodes, some good some not so much, and this particular person has not managed to irritate me at all. I hardly rememebered him, to be honest.

This is why. He never does anything. He's slightly above all those different actors on TNG who played the conn officer, seemingly a new one per episode.


Okay, I see. So there is a thing known as "less character develpment than Harry Kim had". :lol:
Yes. I think there was one Travis-centric episode where we meet his family, which operates an Earth freighter. That's it.
 
Enterprise. I don't hate them (one should be somewhat invested in a character to care enough to hate it, I'd think), but I could never get past how uninteresting everyone was to me, starting with the captain. And I tried for 3 seasons before finally giving up. We really never clicked.
 
I don't hate any of the crews - they're fictional people, after all, and "hate" is a word I almost never use in relation to anything, never mind something as trivial as TV shows. Having said that, one of the main reasons I never got the appeal of DS9 is that none of the characters (aside from Kira and occasionally Odo) interested or appealed to me in the least and I therefore didn't give a damn what they did or what happened to them. Ditto Enterprise - as I've said before, when the only character I find even slightly appealing is (literally) a dog, it's a clear sign the show is not for me.
 
This is a very strange question. I don't hate any of the crews, I just don't care for some of them *shrug*
 
ENT and VOY - i never wantched ENT so can't really comment, but thought that the premise was naff. I used to enjoy VOY [Quark]That Rhymes[/Quark] ;) but the plot and characterisations went downhill at a rate of knotts mid S4.
 
Voyager. I don't hate them just never really found them fascinating enough to empathise with.

DS9. Watched a few episodes here and there (less than 10 actually) but never felt any interest in the chars.
