Thirty Days of Star Trek: Favorite Character
Day 9 - Favorite Character
I don’t have a favorite character in all of Star Trek, but I can narrow it down per incarnation:
TOS: Spock (Saavik for the TOS movies)
Rebootverse: Pike
TNG: Jean-Luc Picard
DS9: used to be Garak, is now Quark, closely followed by Garak and Jadzia Dax
Voyager: Seven of Nine
Enterprise: Porthos Shran
Discovery: Michael Burnham
There’s undoubtedly a pattern here, of smart stoics with strong emotions hidden beneath, except for Shran (decidedly not a stoic) and Quark (also anything but a stoic, and the shadiest, least heroic regular on his show to boot). If you want to know where my Quark loves hails from: here’s the essay. As for Shran: he’s an angry honorable antennae-wearing alien annoyed into liking (some) of his enemies, with a penchant for sarcasm. What’s not to love?
