Star Trek Blogfest

I simply couldn’t resist this one – the temptation to indulge in pure Star Trek geekery (cheers Ellie) was too much – so here you go – my 5 favourite Star Trek Characters are:

Spock
(okay, boring but I love his logical view of the world)

The Holographic Doctor in the Voyager series – for being the only character with any real depth amongst a crew of cardboard cutouts!

The borg queen – always good to include a strong female role model (plus the borg have to be the scariest aliens ever)

Jean Luc Pickard – for saying ‘Merde’ on the Bridge of the Enterprise! Shame on you Jean Luc - there’s children watching!

A tribble – no – several tribbles – Oh hang on a minute – lots of tribbles….

Anybody want a tribble?

Aha - a blog visitor - here you go - you are now the proud owner of a Tribble!

    My fave character has to be Data!

  3. Spock's the man -- er, half-man. It was great to see Nimoy in the latest film.

  7. Take one of my tribbles...I have too many. Jean Luc Picard always had someone to quote....I always loved that about him. The holographic doctor was pretty cool. :)

  8. The holographic doctor was way better than Bev Crusher.

  9. So happy to see a female on your list :). TNG I watched regularly, DS9 a bit, but I just couldn't connect to the characters in Voyager. I guess if the holographic doc had the most substance that would explain why.

  10. Great list. Yes, the doc was great.

  11. I take a few Tribbles, but mine seems to have multiplied. The ship canno' take no more, Captain.

    Loved your choices!

  12. Great list - I'm a TNG fan so mine would be dominated by Jean Luc & Co.

  13. I have a tribble on my feet, tribbling away. Hoping I'll quit blogging and play the ribbon game some more. :) The borg queen was cool.

  14. I think my kids would so dump our 2 cats for one tribble! I know I would. ;)

  15. Great list, have tribbles, but I'll take more. I'm allergic but my Doctor will give me a shot as soon as his emitters are working again. :)

  16. Great list! I'm happy to see the Doctor getting such love from everyone.

    I see we were in an anthology together. Ruins Metropolis. Nice to meet you! (I was published under my maiden name at the time: Christine Poulsen.)

  17. Great picks. I loved the doc on Voyager too.

  18. Pass on the Tribbles, thanks! And no one can beat Picard in the role of captain.

  19. Great list. You can't go wrong with the tribbles!

  20. Kate,

    Slightly late to the party, but great list! Not too far from my own. The Borg Queen nearly made it into mine. I'm seeing a lot of Tribble votes. Darn things seem to get everywhere!

  21. Wow - so many visitors! And so many tribbles!

    I've been away for a few days bit I'm back now and off to catch up with everyone elses favourites! :-)

  22. A tribble? (Awkward look.) You know, I'm just terrible at taking care of pets...

    Thanks for sharing your list with us blogfesters!

  23. I'm probably in the minority here, but I loved the ST: Enterprise series. T'Pol and Tucker were great characters. I like the Captain as well. It was a little different and fun and I loved the "prequel" type aspect of it. I wish it had caught on!
