Who's the biggest networker?

[JoeZhang]

Which character has encountered the most other characters?

Spock ?

 

[od0_ital]

Dax, in all its various hosts.

But, if that doesn't count, I'd agree Spock is right up there, by virtue of havin' such a long life, with Scotty & McCoy close behind.

And Elias Vaughn seems to have met quite a few folks durin' his ten decades...

 

[JoeZhang]

Dax, in all its various hosts.

I should put a qualification on this - I'm thinking of encounters that we have actually seen on screen or on page. Having said that, I would guess that Dax would still be up there.

Well, seems to me that every story in The Lives of Dax anthology has at least one "canon" character in it, and Dax encountered 'em in whichever host was appropriate to the era.

So, there's that.

Than ya have Curzon Dax runnin' all 'round the damn Federation & Klingon Empire for a bit.

Six seasons of Jadzia Dax on DS9, and she seemed to know everyone who came through the station.

And then one more season with Ezri, makin' friends with whoever Jadzia didn't.

Plus, ya have the DS9 Relaunch & post-finale comic books with Ezri, too.

 

[Ethros]

Q comes to mind, just because he's met all the crews of TNG, DS9 & VOY

 

[Geoff Thorne]

Dax and Q

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Definitely Spock.

 

[JoeZhang]

Spock has encountered at least some of the vanguard and NF casts right?

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Spock has met most of the New Frontier cast at one point or another.

 

[Rosalind]

I don't remember seeing Spock in DS9 or Voyager stories though.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I still haven't read The Brave and the Bold (but I have it around here somewhere), but were there any meetings there since I know Spock is in it and there is some crossover? Also, did Spock meet Tuvok in Taking Wing? So while it's not the entirety of the crews, it is some. Oh, and he has meet Seven.

 

[Christopher]

^^Diane Carey's novelization of VGR: Flashback has a scene where young Tuvok meets Spock shortly after the events of The Undiscovered Country.

Spoiler: The Brave and the Bold

Spock spends a lot of quality time with Worf. He may also interact with Klag and the IKS Gorkon gang, though my recollection on that is not 100%.

^^Diane Carey's novelization of VGR: Flashback has a scene where young Tuvok meets Spock shortly after the events of The Undiscovered Country.

Although that was based on Tuvok saying in the episode "Alliances" that he'd disagreed with Spock regarding the events of TUC.

 

[Christopher]

^^But Tuvok's lines don't suggest he met Spock. He said he "spoke out against" Spock's suggestion of alliance with the Klingons. "Spoke out" implies that he spoke publicly about Spock's plans, not specifically that he spoke to Spock about them.

 

[KRAD]

^ Well, the two aren't mutually exclusive...

 

[Christopher]

^^Never said they were. I was just clarifying that the episode didn't specify that Tuvok met Spock, that it was Diane Carey's idea to elaborate on the reference in that way.

 

[KRAD]

^ Of course.

What were we talking about, again?
