“Boff” is not all that different.
“I repeat what the computer says. Listen, I have one job on this ship, and I’m going to do it.”
damn dell keyboard.
Wesley must live, because Wil Wheaton is teh awesome. The writers are the ones who must die.
That said:
TOS - the Space Hippies
TNG - Troi’s clothing
DS9 - Captain Sisko
Voyager - Everybody involved with the show in any way
Enterprise - see “Voyager”
THANK YOU. I never thought Wesley was as bad as all that. Troi was the one who needed to be airlocked.
I like everyone on DS9, except maybe Ezri Dax. I don’t hate her enough to kill her, though.
The whole Voyager crew should just get time-anomalied out of existence.
She wanted to quit, but Dr. King told her to stay, since she was one of the first African Americans on prime time TV. Note that she was Lieutenant Uhura, not some stupid Yeoman.
TOS: Rand
TNG: That incredibly bitchy female chief engineer
DS9: Keiko
VOY: Chakotay
ENT: Subcommander Catsuit
DS9 - Captain Sisko

Sweet God! What over-the-top acting!! Reminds me of David Caruso - my other favouritest actor – sans shades

As for Troi’s clothing, I would say it depends on the episode…:p:D
(laughing)
OS: What’shername that was in love with Spock…Christine somebody. And the freakin’ Tribbles.
NG: Will Ryker, especially in his yelling phase. Seems like the first season he had to say everything loudly. Followed closely by Deanna Troi. One more “I’m sensing…” combined with that pained “I’m constipated” look on her face and I’d reach through the teevee and strangle her myself.
DS9: Odo. Hands down.
STV: Neelix is a given. Looks like a rainbow trout in a bad leisure suit. I wasn’t fond of his girlfriend either.
STE: Archer. Definitely Archer. I didn’t like most of that crew, but Archer would be the first to go.
It took me a while to realize it, but, I hate the doctor on Star Trek. Bones began to annoy me, he seemed to cause as many problems as he solved. Dr. Crusher was annoying, then replaced with the annoying Dr. Pulaski, then they bring the same annoying Dr. Crusher back. Each time they show up on screen, they open a window and toss the Prime Directive right out. I want to scream “Stay in sick bay and help the wounded.” They almost got it right with the EMH, but of course, had to let him walk around. There’s nothing wrong with their acting, or the strong female characters on NG, but its just lazy writing – make everyone stern and regretful they can’t help, then make doctor kind-hearted and violate the Prime Directive, and now everyone has to fix the Doctor’s mess. I only saw a little Enterprise, but Dr. Phlox didn’t seem too subtle. So yeah, the whole franchise needs a complete doctor-ectomy.
Yeah, but she was hot.
(I’ve got this thing for Asian girls.)
I think the problem with Hoshi Sato was that she wasn’t well written. Her premise was that she was supposed to be a linguist in a period before “universal translators” existed. So the first few times out, they had her translating stuff. Then they realized this was cumbersome and dropped the premise, leaving her with less to do. But the episode where it was the evil alternate universe, she really showed she could act when given something to do.
As opposed to the helmsman, who just plain old couldn’t act. (They reversed the races of Sulu and Uhura, making those two characters the “Token Minorities”). His character was given this whole complex back story about being among the first people who went into space in more primitive warp ships that took years to get from place to place. But the guy couldn’t act for a whit, and by about season 3, they were essentially not writing anything for him to do in episodes.
Enterprise’s real problem was that the producers had I think developed a contempt for the fans themselves, until season 4 when they started doing shows that the fans might have wanted to see, but by that time, everyone had tuned out.
Well, I always thought the Prime Directive was a silly plot device anyway, usually designed to keep the characters from using all the technology they had at their disposal from solving the dilema in the first act of an episode.
I also think that you really can’t do a space show like this without having a doctor character. For instance, * Babylon 5* and its spinoff *Crusade * had a doctor, as did Firefly, and they were given other things to do than to “help the wounded”.
Interestingly, the most awesome space show doctor ever - Doc Cottle from BSG - actually did stay in the sickbay for almost the entire series, because that was his job, damn it.
Didn’t watch what I assume is the new version.
Just couldn’t get around the fact they were using the same silly names and premises from the “Mormons in Space” version of 1979 (which if remember correctly, didn’t even have a regular doctor character. It did have a nurse who used to be a prostitute or something.)
Also, from what I understand third hand, wasn’t like every other character in the show really a Cylon at the end or something? As a medical professional, he really kind of missed that.
I’m surprised there isn’t more animosity towards Worf’s kid. I hated that little pecker.
I never liked the Brit on Enterprise either. (I forget his name.) What a bland ineffectual boring character. And T’Pal was a bigger badass anyway.
I never liked any of the Bjorans on DS9. One dimensional victims.
Last but not least, Tash Yar. Terrible actress. Her storyline was convoluted and she should have remained dead. The only good thing about the alternate timeline episode where she came back was that she died again at the end. Then what happens? She comes back as a freakin Romulan!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr! Just go away already!
Well, Q was a useful character for the purposes of the show, but if I had been on the Enterprise I would have strangled the motherfucker with my bare hands in that episode where he briefly became human. Of course, I also think that Luther Sloane deserved a medal for single-handedly winning the Dominion War.
Oh, good lord, do you seriously think we’re supposed to like her? She annoyed the hell out of every other character, and the viewers. That was obviously the intention.
I’ll second that!
[whiny kid voice] “I don’t wanna be a warrior!” [/whiny kid voice]
Set my teeth on edge every time he was on screen… :mad:
Yeah, but her sister Ishara was some kinda hot!
