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!
Ta very much for the tribble - oh, it's had babies. How cute. Oh now the babies have had babies - aaaaahhhhhhhhh! Someone save me before I'm crushed!
ReplyDeleteMy fave character has to be Data!
I'd love a Tribble thank you, Kate!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow's your garden?!!? Take care

Spock's the man -- er, half-man. It was great to see Nimoy in the latest film.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have to say that since I've got three of those in my top five, too. :)

ReplyDeleteSpock for me too - and a tribble! I've always wanted a ... oh and another, thank you so much ...[muffled squeak] ... Help!
when they introduced the doctor on voyager... it was like... wow they get their own technology.

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. :)
ReplyDeleteThe holographic doctor was way better than Bev Crusher.
ReplyDeleteSo 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Yes, the doc was great.
ReplyDeleteI take a few Tribbles, but mine seems to have multiplied. The ship canno' take no more, Captain.
ReplyDeleteLoved your choices!
Great list - I'm a TNG fan so mine would be dominated by Jean Luc & Co.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI think my kids would so dump our 2 cats for one tribble! I know I would. ;)

Can Alex save Winter from the darkness that hunts her?
YA Paranormal Romance, Darkspell coming fall of 2011!
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. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm happy to see the Doctor getting such love from everyone.
ReplyDeleteI 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.)
Great picks. I loved the doc on Voyager too.
ReplyDeletePass on the Tribbles, thanks! And no one can beat Picard in the role of captain.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. You can't go wrong with the tribbles!
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteSlightly 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!
Wow - so many visitors! And so many tribbles!
ReplyDeleteI've been away for a few days bit I'm back now and off to catch up with everyone elses favourites! :-)
A tribble? (Awkward look.) You know, I'm just terrible at taking care of pets...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your list with us blogfesters!

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!
