Who is your favorite member of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast?

Rich Bliss26 Aug 2016 1:21 p.m. PST

Jean-Luc Picard. No other character strayed from stereotypes so much. Warf would be my second choice.

Dynaman878926 Aug 2016 1:48 p.m. PST

Cast or character? I don't know enough about most of the actors to say anything but Levar Burton has had an interesting career and Will Wheaton is a nerd like me so either of them.

Character wise – Tasha Mark 2, seeing how much better that character was written after she died makes me wonder how much better the show could have been in the early years.

mwindsorfw26 Aug 2016 2:02 p.m. PST

Jean-Luc. When things go to hell, I'll take Jean-Luc over James T. every time.

mad monkey 126 Aug 2016 2:11 p.m. PST

Tasha Yar.

RebelPaul26 Aug 2016 2:20 p.m. PST

Worf.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP26 Aug 2016 2:22 p.m. PST

The Picard!

Weasel26 Aug 2016 2:22 p.m. PST

Worf but not by a huge margin.

Actually, I liked Picard, then Worf, then everyone else, then Wesley.

Anything that tried to kill Wesley Crusher.

USAFpilot26 Aug 2016 4:41 p.m. PST

Data, a well acted android mostly due to good writing. His struggle to understand humor was interesting. Too many other sci-fi shows really screw up the android character by making them act too human.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP26 Aug 2016 5:22 p.m. PST

Worf – followed by Jean Luc

Calico Bill26 Aug 2016 5:59 p.m. PST

Another vote for Spot the cat.

Worf gotta love the Klingons

Personal logo Saber6 Supporting Member of TMP Fezian26 Aug 2016 7:59 p.m. PST

Tasha Yard was my first choice

21eRegt26 Aug 2016 8:01 p.m. PST

My first instinct was to say Worf but then I realized it was really that the Klingons were my favorite species (including humans). So yeah, Jean-Luc by a hair, if he had any.

Now for least favorite….

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut26 Aug 2016 8:06 p.m. PST

Tasha Yar. She was a great character and well-acted by Denise Crosby. She suffered largely from being in the wrong ship department. She was hopeless as a security chief. She would have done much better in Engineering or Operations.

Captain Gideon26 Aug 2016 8:06 p.m. PST

Since I'm a Cat person and because I lost my Beloved Cat last June my vote is for Spot.

Worf is my second favorite.

Buck21526 Aug 2016 8:18 p.m. PST

The Enterprise "E" herself. The Enterprise "D" was nice, but the "E" looked like the ship meant business…

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP27 Aug 2016 6:26 a.m. PST

The empathetic brunette. Very hot.

Mako1127 Aug 2016 8:55 a.m. PST

Yea, Tasha.

One of the few/only characters I could really stomach on that show.

Personal logo Doctor X Supporting Member of TMP27 Aug 2016 9:13 a.m. PST

Q, followed by any Pakled character…

Dynaman878927 Aug 2016 10:14 a.m. PST

> followed by any Pakled character

Ah the Packled's, TNG at it's hypocritical preachy worst. All cultures are acceptable – except the Klingons because they are a warrior race and the Pakleds because Fat aliens are stupid.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP27 Aug 2016 10:20 a.m. PST

Since when isn't Klingon culture acceptable?

Picard mediates in the klingon chansilor succession. Picard also only gives a slap on the wrist to worf after worf murders duras.

Dynaman878927 Aug 2016 10:32 a.m. PST

> Since when isn't Klingon culture acceptable?

Deep Space 9, Klingon X (don't remember the name) gives Sisko a cup of blood wine to celebrate a victory and Sisko, with a look a vast disgust, pours it on the ground right in front of the Klingon's face.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP27 Aug 2016 10:45 a.m. PST

Doesn't look at in disgust. Simply won't celebrate the the death of 800 million cardasians. Which as a human he can do. Doesn't yell at or lecture martok. Simply two different cultures. Martok took no offence simply quiping "humans"

Dynaman878927 Aug 2016 11:10 a.m. PST

I saw disgust. And typical ST preachiness. YMMV

EDIT – Youtube clip, especially at the 47 second mark.

Picard over James T???? Gimme a break, Kirk finds a way to keep his ship intact and his crew alive, Picard holds a board meeting with everyone, decides that you broke the Prime Directive so "sorry to say but your sacrifice to Galaxy Peace will be noted" while the aliens quick fry you to a crackly crunch. If the question is who do I want to go to war with the answer would never be Picard, let him stay in the rear with the gear.

Dynaman878927 Aug 2016 5:42 p.m. PST

> and his crew alive

Well, all but the redshirts in security.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP28 Aug 2016 1:51 a.m. PST

Dynaman, I see no discusts there.

Avery brooks is an extreme over actor, and if he tried to show discust he would throw up on Martok. He was stone faced. So no discusts.

Chuckaroobob28 Aug 2016 5:17 a.m. PST

Data.

Avery Brooks is an actor? I thought he was a wooden mock up. Learn something new every day!

Captain Gideon28 Aug 2016 7:07 a.m. PST

You must never saw Avery Brooks in Spencer for Hire.

Balthazar Marduk28 Aug 2016 9:39 a.m. PST

Deanna Troy because I'm a red blooded man.

Howler28 Aug 2016 7:44 p.m. PST

Ditto Deanna Troy.

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP29 Aug 2016 9:48 a.m. PST

If I were to vote for Troi, it would have to be for reasons other than her contribution to the bridge…
