    Your least favorite Trek character

    At risk of starting a "beat-up-on-Wesley-Crusher" thread, I just have to ask this question: who is your least favorite character in all of Trek?
    Please list a REASON for a character being your least favorite, OTHER than that they are "badly acted." I want reasons based on their character traits/personality rather than how well they are acted.

    My least favorite is Janeway. Although I like the fact that Voyager has a female captain, personally I felt that being a woman was Janeway's only selling point because other than that, she had no unique personality traits... they kept trying to make her a female version of Kirk.

    Think I've gotta go with Wesley. A precocious 15 year is okay by me...but the 'Wesley is the only person among 1000 on board that as a clue & saves the day' stuff was annoying.

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    My problem with Wesley was that I thought it was totally unrealistic for him to get a Starfleet commission at age 15 is totally unrealistic. How Picard snuck that one past Starfleet Command is beyond me.

    Mmm... amongst all the regulars and semi-regulars, I guess it's be Quark's mother. Actually, I dislike this character mainly because almost all of the episodes she appeared in were the ones I considered the worst of DS9.

    As for my least favourite regular character... I guess I deserve Trekkers' hell for this, but I think this would be Kirk . I never managed to find him likeable in any way, at least in the series (the movies are a different matter - maybe because he didn't get to seduce an alien chick every 50 mn ).

    THis is a tough question, cause there is so many to choose from.

    From DS9, I would have to go with . . . Rom. OK, fine you're an idiot who can fix things. No need for you to act like a snivling idiot as well. And the new Grand Nagus. OMG. The end of The Ferengi Alliance as we know it folks. Look for the end of the use of money if he gets his way.

    From TNG, this is a toughy. <thinks> Even though I like the character. I would also go with Barkley. If you are that much of a whimp, lets face it he is, how did you make it through the acadamy. And then how did you even set foot in a starship? Stay planetside and get out of the way, we have Lightyears to cover, and you're making us go slow! (oh, and since I was a pre-teen when I started watching Star Trek (I picked it up on my own, back when it was on CBS in San Diego) I liked Wesley, even though I will agree he was a bit young for a commission, maybe make him enlisted would have been better.)

    From TOS. Gotta go with Chekov. Sorry the Russian accent, and the wanta be british 60's pop just didn't cut it for me.

    From VOY. Gotta go with Neelix as well, followed closely by Kim. And to think Kim was the first main Asian Character since Sulu, and he blows it! We need someone better if we see as ST: Titan. Maybe as the Security Officer or XO? ( you know what Asian main role I liked. The XO from B5:Excalibar. Or the original XO of B5 for that matter.)

    Most of Voyager's characters irked me.

    Janeway never interested me, and I never identified with her. Her characterization seemed inconsistent, and her voice grated on my ears. Since she got the most screen time of all the characters that annoyed me, she's first on my list.

    Neelix came across as an idiot.

    Paris could have been a cool hotshot pilot with a shady past, but he just turned into a wuss.

    Tuvok should have taken humor lessons from Spock. Maybe then he wouldn't have seemed so arrogant and cold.

    Uhh, that's the way a Vulcan should be played. Spock was half human, so humour could be intergrated into his character.

    At least Tuvok was played 1000% better then the Vulcans in Ent.
