Top 3 Star Trek The Next Generation characters

By Ames

You’ll remember that for our podcast coverage of Voyager episode “Flashback” featuring Hikaru Sulu, A Star to Steer Her By picked our three favorite The Original Series characters. Now we’re feeling inspired seeing more familiar faces in the Delta Quadrant with both Reg Barclay and Deanna Troi appearing in “Pathfinder,” so we’re doing the same for our favorite minor or one-off characters from The Next Generation!

Some of the characters we’ve picked have that eccentric, colorful kind of energy that would feel at home in our original TOS lists, and some have a more cerebral complexity that the different series of the 90s are more known for. We see some strong patterns forming in our lists below, along with a very clear winner. Place your bets now as we revisit the adventures of the Enterprise-D below and in our discussion on this week’s podcast episode (topic starts at 56:20). Engage!

Chris – Revenge of the nerds

K’Ehleyr

Berlinghoff Rasmussen

Reginald Barclay

All of Chris’s picks have Big Nerd energy in their own ways and may get ostracized from their respective cultures a little bit for it. From our girl K’Ehleyr, a half-breed fully accepted in neither her Klingon nor her human races; to Berlinghoff Rasmussen, a time-traveling weirdo who reminds us a lot of Chris’s TOS fave Harry Mudd; to the constantly trampled upon everyman Reginald Broccoli. At least, I think that’s his name…

Jake – Gone too soon

K’Ehleyr

Doctor Katherine Pulaski

Alidar Jarok

We all really wish all of Jake’s faves had stuck around! But sadly, our favorite Klingon gets murdered by Duras, leaving us only with her terrible son to remember her by. We were just starting to really get a feel for Dr. Pulaski as CMO of the ship before her season was over. And one of Jake’s favorite Romulans couldn’t live in a world where defecting from Romulus proved to all be for nothing. Well, nothing but a damn good episode.

Caitlin –  MILFs in space

Doctor Katherine Pulaski

K’Ehleyr

Lwaxana Troi

We see some familiar faces again in Caitlin’s list. Not only do all of her picks run their corners of the world like absolute bosses, but they look freakin’ hot doing it too! We’ve got the stone cold Katherine Pulaski who, fans will remember, used to nail Riker’s dad; yet again, K’Ehleyr is here breaking hearts, kicking ass, and taking names; and the galaxy’s biggest cougar Lwaxana Troi rounds things out with her trademark lust for all of life!

Ames – Unbreak my heart!

K'Ehleyr

Hugh

Timicin

My picks are giving me the feels all over again. Why?! Why couldn’t that honorless Duras have taken Alexander instead of K’Ehleyr?! I also have the softest of hearts for our BFF (Borg Friend Forever) Hugh and his touching friendship with Geordi. And another of the podcast’s favorite overall episodes, the legendary “Half a Life” is made so tragic by the nuanced and yet powerful presence of Timicin. Who else could tame Lwaxana’s heart?

—

Just like in our Best Klingons post, K’Ehleyr absolutely runs away with the win, yet again sweeping the lists of all of your hosts here. Pour out a glass of bloodwine for our hands-down favorite character from The Next Generation, and stay in our tractor beam because we’re keeping the blog on the Enterprise-D for a couple more weeks while the podcast is simultaneously on the Voyager over on SoundCloud (or whatever podcast thing you like). You can also like us on Facebook and Twitter, and we’ll see you in Ten Forward!

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry as Lwaxana Troi 1991 in Star Trek: The Next Generation ”Half a Life”

http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Half_a_Life_%28episode%29

[usstrekart]

“Half a Life” (S04E22, Stardate 44805.3) is a deep change of pace that focuses on 2 guests rather than the main characters. Timicin and Lwaxana headline a thought-provoking story that is moving, but could use some more time to breathe. The conclusion is good for Lwaxana's character, but feels rushed.
