You must be a Klingon. 
Though Lazarus is a pain, my vote on TOS is F. Lee Bailey as the stupid friendly angel. A fat lawyer who can’t act in an episode without a script. Yech. (He actually was a better actor in Gimmee Shelter if you ask me.
Me, too. She was just so condescending, talking to everyone like they had the emotional maturity of a two-year-old. Plus their was the fact that they all had to pretend that her worthless insights (E.g., “I’m sensing anger.”) were any help whatsoever.
I never figured out how she could “sense” emotions over a video screen from a distance of up to several light-years. If she’s that powerful, you’re telling me she can’t figure out how to read minds? The entire Counselor concept had some issues (why does she need to be on the bridge?) but that was the biggest issue I had.
By the end of his tenure, I think Wesley Crusher wasn’t THAT bad, really. Sure, the early episodes were plagued with “Wesley saves the ship” syndrome, but the writers fixed that by season 3. The biggest problem with his character was how it strained credibility that he could be competent enough to sit at the helm of the fleet flagship but couldn’t get into Starfleet Academy.
Operation Ripper: thanks.
Personally, I have no idea whether Alexander will rank as LEAST LIKED in this thread but I can’t stand the character, personally. Anytime you’re casting a child actor with the temperament of one of those socially retarded Barney Kids as a Klingon, you’re askking for trouble. The Sudden Growth Spurt phenomenon so prevelant in crappy TV sitcoms during the jump from TNG to DS9 doesn’t help. And worse, quite unforgiveably, Alexander was a fucking wuss, so much so that I deeply suspect the Klingon curse word for “punkass bitch” is “Rozhenko.” I’m sure this was established canon, somewhere.
Alexander doesn’t do justice to his Klingon heritage or his human grandparents – I liked the Rozhenkos! Such an enormous loss of genetic potential. At least Wesley Crusher had his moments, and Guinan made me laugh myself sick when she stabbed Q in the hand. Alexander basically just made me wince inwardly and wonder if this dude would have done better in the character’s role.
I wasn’t a regular viewer, but did Enterprise’s Travis Mayweather ever get anything approaching a personality?
Wrong Famous Lawyer Who Oddly Enough Had a Guest Appearance on a TV Show: it was Melvin Belli who played Gorgan the “friendly angel” on “And the Children Shall Lead”.
However, F. Lee Bailey apparently did do some voice work for one of the animated “Spider-Man” series.
Oh yeah. She was so fucking worthless. What I resent about her is that she and the Doctor on TNG were the only major female characters through most of the show’s run. And the Doctor mostly only did doctory stuff, so Troi was left - and she was like the epitome of every stereotype of women who only know about “feelings” and who are ultimately wussy and useless and incapable of being leaders. And the whole ship had to pretend like she wasn’t useless. Ferchrissakes, why didn’t they just make a good female character (besides Tasha Yar, who left the show and didn’t have a particularly important role anyway)?
They did a lot better in that respect once DS9 rolled around. None of the major characters caused the same kind of “Why the fuck would they even let someone so useless on the crew?” puzzlement.
Riker. Yeah.
***Hated him. ***
Found him WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more annoying than Wesley.
But that’s just me, I suppose. 
Hell, how could I forget Dr. Pulaski?
y’know, the whole interaction between McCoy and Spock…it just worked. Maybe it was acting skill, maybe it was cameradre, maybe it was just the right combination of character types.
With Pulaski and Data, however…she just sounded like an insubordinate specist. Down the turbolift shaft with her, no regrets.
My vote is definately Alexander, but Lwaxana Troy runs a close second.
During first run, any time either appeared in the beginning of an episode, it seriously ruined my night. The worst was the episode with both of them.
All I remember from that one is a hottub. My eyes, it burns!
Capt. Sisco’s kid from DS9 bugged me. I can’t remember his name and don’t really care to know either.
He’s not at the bottom of my list, but I realized in reruns that there were a lot of characters I took a liking to simply because Riker behaved like an overbearing ass to them: Ensign Ro, Cmdr. Shelby, Capt. Jellico, Tom Riker, that guy in “Tin Man.” This pattern, however, did not hold true when Riker’s dad came to visit–Will was a jerk to him, but Dad was even a bigger jerk.
OTOH, a visit from Lwaxana Troi could always make me feel sorry for Deanna.
Mudbath, actually.
Why yes, I AM a major geek. Why do you ask?
But! But! …
It was a colony of Free Thinkers.
FREE THINKERS!
Thanks for reminding me of when I learned to love the taste of my own bile, you Medusan. :dubious:
The full figured chick was a nice eye salve, tho.
I would say the early Wesley character was highly annoying.
Worf’s son too.
And Q. That bastard…
I’m sorry, what’s wrong with this again?
Becuase it represents that very moment when the writers and producers of all that is trek realized they could not come up with any more ‘good’ ideas and had to resort to the lowest common demoniator.
It represents that moment when I, a proud fan and follower for nigh on 30 years quit watching. Enterprise had some hope, but they couldn’t get past T&A for plot points.
How bad a geek am I? I’ve got collectibles back to the ORIGINAL model kits (with lights) from 1968… I’ve got a Leaf Set… I went to England and spent time running old comic shops in search of the last card(s) I needed for an AB&C set.
Wesley… yeah, an annoyance. He got much better when he finally got the acadamy and grew a set.
Data… the second time he took over my ship would’ve represented his being permanently dismantled.
Troi? An attempt at useless eye candy…
But all forgiveable, if for nothing than the camp factor.
Kai Winn. Hated her. But then, I guess we were supposed to hate her. She reminded me of that annoying coworker whom everybody hates, and somehow gets promoted to management “because she’s been here so long”.
I was never a Troi fan. I didn’t find her attractive like I was apparently supposed to. From my perspective, it was a huge improvement when they finally put her in a standard Starfleet uniform instead of those formfitting dresses and catsuits. Maybe it’s just that the blue color was a flattering color for her. I also hated the way she acted out whatever emotion she was supposed to be reading off the screen. The creators seemed to eventually realize it looked stupid, and after a couple seasons we only saw Troi’s own emotional response to whatever she was reading.
I hated those stupid Binars, or whatever they were called.
And Morn. Fucking drunk.
Okay, just kidding on that last one.
I agree, although I think it’s the uniform’s cut that was flattering, not it’s colour. She still looks very nice in the late-season Voyager version.
Hmm…Characters I hated that we weren’t supposed to.
I LIKE Wesley. I think we’re supposed to find Llwoxana annoying. I never had any problems with the Ferengi…
Ah. Noonian Soong just struck me as an arrogant, obnoxious bastard. More and more every time we saw him.
Jadzia Dax. Had no problem with her at first, but by the time she got together with Worf, she grated on me. She was just…I don’t know…supposed to be too… everything. Too hot. Too smart. Too knowledgable. Too flawless. And I didn’t think she was too terribly hot, either. (Not unattractive, mind. Quite pretty, in fact. But not as OMGHOT as she was supposed to be.)
I must be old…but TOS was full of horrid characters. Tops on my list is the curly-haired space-hippy-musician. His groovy vibe was so powerful it turned Spock into a Zamfir/Yanni channeling harpist. Yaaaaayyyyy brother!
