Well, you could go backwards, so long as you do it boldly and no one has ever gone there before.

So... they're fine as long as they don't go back to 1986 or 2063?

Pretty much.

And as long as they don't go back to the wild west. That's been done as well.

Qapla'

My favorite characters seem to change every time I go back to the series. However, the one character that has always been central to my enjoyment of the show is the Enterprise.



Now, my favorite Babylon 5 character is much trickier to nail down. Lord Refa made quite an impression on me, especially after he got the best death scene is a series full of great death scenes.



Londo really got to take out a lot of heavy hitting baddies.

"Leave his face and head intact...they will be needed later for identification..the rest is yours."

Love me some B5

i remember seeing the BBC cut of that episode on a smuggled VHS back in the day, and being unable to talk about it for three months until the episode aired in the US. I still prefer the British version.

Oh, I love TNG Recuts.

Kind of surprised Odo was not listed. While I got tired of him near the end of DS9, Odo was one of my favorites.

I also really liked Cpt. Sisko, he was my kind of Cpt.

Riker is sad at the lack of love.

Found a different one on the internet (Riker getting to 99% of a download then getting blue screen'd or something like that), broke it down into individual frames using some website, covered up the previous things on the Enterprise computer screen and put in some screen capture stuff of Dakka using Paint, then just recombine all the static images into a gif using the same website.

Spock, followed by Data. Kirk and Picard are great and everything (Picard man, here), but in both TOS and TNG, the major issues about what it means to be human (the most interesting thing Star Trek has to offer) are centered around Spock, and later Data.

P.S. Your list shopuld include Weyoun. One of the best villain performances on any TV show ever.





P.S.S. And there may be some Gul Dukat fans out there, too.

P.S.S.S. You also don't have Khan listed...at this point, I think you just don't like villains.

Main cast only.

Looks like we got an engineer here guys

I used to like Geordi LaForge a lot. I could relate to him, back when I was unsuccessful with women. Now, when I watch the show I feel bad for his character and the treatment the writers gave him.

As for him being anodyne, I remember some parody magazine awarding LaForge the title of "Least Threatening Black Male in Television." From what I understand, that may have been the writers' intention.

I think she's guest cast.

Kirstie Alley Saavik > Robin Curtis Saavik.

She was SWEET before she became Fat Actress! Robin Curtis wasn't too bad in the looks department either, but Kirstie definitely played it better.

'dat 80's hair...

She was one of the most important characters in 2 and 3. She had a greater, more prominent role in those than some of the main crew.

I preferred the Alley rendition of the character, seemed like the spiritual daughter of Spock, and although has a different personality (instead of the monotonous modern Vulcan), goes through similar struggles too.
