I’d like to know, who’s your favorite crewmen/important character from each series? If you want to! Sorry if you’ve already answered this somewhere, I scrolled your tag and didn’t see it, but the tumblr search function is terrible so I’m reluctant to place faith in it.
I haven’t done something like this yet, so thanks for the challenge! Gonna go in chronological in-universe order, since that’s closest to the order I watched them in:
ENT: This one is a close call between Hoshi and T’Pol but at the end of the day I’ve gotta say it’s Hoshi. She’s my personal hero and so amazing!
DISCO 1-2: Michael Burnham, hands down. She’s the most relatable character to me personally. The guilt complex she has? Oh wow that’s me. Her compassion, her intelligence her determination to do the right thing even if it’s hard or unpopular, the way she makes mistakes but always tries to do better. I love her so so much.
AOS: this is the hardest. I love the AOS characters so much. It’s probably a threeway tie between Kirk, Spock and Uhura with Sulu and Gaila coming in hot on their tails.
SNW: T’Pring. Loved her in Amok Time. She’s great in SNW and I Can’t wait to see her dump Spock for Stonn. It’s gonna be a riot, I’m sure.
TOS/TAS: Gotta be Spock, of course.
TNG: Tasha Yar if she’d gotten more seasons 😢But probably Troi! I think she often gets overlooked, but her performance in “Face of Evil” especially was great. And I’m a sucker for telepathic characters who are half human/half alien and struggle with their parents.
DS9: Again, the DS9 cast is so great it’s really hard to pick just one, but I think I’m most obsessed with Sisko. He’s a really complex and unique character that so often gets overlooked, but he’s got so much going on. Surprised there aren’t reams of Saratoga fics for him when Michael’s got a good number of Shenzhou-Era fics for her. But maybe I’ll just have to write them myself.
VOY: a tie between Tuvok and B’Elanna. Tuvok is an excellent Vulcan character and I love Vulcans. And B’Elanna is another hybrid, which I’ve always found interesting.
LOW: Beckett Mariner! She’s a AOS-Kirk-Type party animal, but just like him, deep deep down she really cares about everyone and she only pushes people away because it’s a coping mechanism for trauma. There’s so much depth to her character and she’s one of Trek’s first openly bisexual characters, so that’s awesome!
PRO: Prodigy is still warming up, so it’s hard to say. But I think Gwyn is my favorite. She’s got so much angst potential in that backstory of hers. Going against her own dad who thinks he’s on a mission to save their people? I love it. So juicy.
PIC: Can I make everyone angry and say Narek? I was hoping he would come back but no, Picard writers hate me specifically.
DISCO 3-4 (it’s basically a different show): Michael again, if we’re being honest. But I also really like Rillak and T’Rina. More milf presidents, please!
an irrational yet very real concern:
what if this nonsense word i made up to refer to a random alien culture/planet/system/whatever is actually already in use in the Star Trek canon somewhere
