My favorite character was General Martok. He was one damn cool klingon.

hmmm...probably Sisko: when he gets pissed it's great. Better when he has to give one of his officers a dressing down.
I knew I'd love his character when he obviously wanted to deck Picard in the first DS9.
Eddingtion rocked too- when he phasered Kira, it left my jaw hanging. A great suprise, and Trek has far too few suprises.

"Cadet, you are obviously under the mistaken impression that I am asking you for a favor. I want a name and I want it now! Is that understood Mister Nog?"
Great line. Yah, Sisko was a badass.

Well, Sisko DID deck Q .... and you have to love the dialoge in that scene.
Q: "You HIT me?! Picard never hit me" BS: "I'm NOT PICARD!"

I was always a Sulu fan..."Don't call me Tiny."
But in the last few years, I've gained an appreciation of Scotty. The K7 barfight will always be my favorite Trek moment.

He got to say the wittiest line in the history of Trek, when they were going to infiltrate the Cardassian compound and was stopped by the bombproof door. Seldom do the Trek-writers have good wit.
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
Damar was one of the most realistic characters to me. When we first meet the guy he's a complete ass. Pompous an arrogant, your typical Cardassian. Then he kills Ziyal. And then, after all that, he does a complete turn around and becomes the leader of Cardassian resistance. He basically started out doing whatever would make Dukat happy. And then whatever would make Weyoun happy. Then he said "fuck this, I'm doing my own thing."

Paris, usaully in trouble, but good at his job....

Scotty has always been my favorite: an engineering genius with a good sense of humor and a reasonable amount of competence in the Captain's chair when Kirk and Spock were away. Plus he took on a bar full of Klingons over the honor of his ship.

Where is Liam to tell us he thinks the thread is OK, so long as no one goes with obscure characters just to seem cool.
My beliefs are my soul's fortress. I cannot stray from The One True Shatner. Kirk hands down. Second would probably have to go to Spock, but Garek is right up there, and 7of9 gets Super Ultra points for being the vessel of my destruction.

OK, I'll bite, go on then, tell us what the wittiest line in Trek was. . .
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
"You should have killed me, I'm the only Damar"?
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
"Today is a good day to die" that's always been my favorite Star Trek Line
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Dukat (leading the Dominon fleet): "I dont suppose you'd care to surrender now?"
Sisko (smiling from Ops): Absolutely not.
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
"Engage"
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I always thought that Damar shooting Ziyal didn't make much sense, as much as I liked him otherwise.
The best Star Trek exchange is, clearly:
quote:General Chang: "Doctor McCoy, what is your current medical status?" McCoy: "Aside from a touch of arthritis, I'd say pretty good." A single Klingon in the audience laughs loudly.
Posted by Bones McCoy (Member # 1480) on :
Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not an author!!
Bones is the coolest. He can cure a rainy day, put both Kirk and Spock into perspective, and he's got the coolest attitude out of the whole lot.
Followed closely by Captain Picard. My good friends, make it so.
Posted by OnToMars (Member # 621) on :
My friend insists, absolutely insists that it is McCoy laughing at his own joke during that part of Undiscovered Country and we are unable to convince him otherwise.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
I like spock in the Voyage Home. he should have kept using those slang words, coming frmo him it's just freakin hilarious.
"Just one damn minute captain"
Posted by WizArtist II (Member # 1425) on :
ST:FC
Riker: "Tough little ship." Worf (Glaring): "LITTLE?!"
TOS
Kirk, Spock & McCoy in sick bay. Kirk and Spock both yacking. McCoy shushes BOTH of them then looks into the camera and says "Well, I finally got the last word in."
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
I've always liked Picard's line to Data, on finding out that the android is asking every man on the ship for advice on women.
"As soon as I have any, I'll let you know."
And a rare moment of sarcasm (seriously, Trek characters are sarcastic even less often than they are witty) with regards to the ship collapsing around them.
"Mr Worf, if it should become necessary to fight could you please find some rocks for us to through at them?"
Oh, and it's overplayed to the point of death, and everyone probably hates the line because it's so overfamiliar all the original humour has been sucked out of it. But, honestly, the best Trek line has to be:
"Everyone remember where we parked."
(My dad really likes Spock's "Ah, the giants" from a bit later, too. Half his memory missing, but he's got enough left to play the literary critic.)
And McCoy is clearly not laughing at his own joke. The camera cuts to his face while the laughter is still going on. Plus, your friend is an idiot.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
lol, i don't get to watch the trek movies too often so i still find that line pretty funny.
"There be whales cappin!"

Did this change to favourite line?
Favourite character Kira! When we first see her in Emissary slamming down her fist on that desk - and saying to Sisko I suppose he wants the office now and he pulls the rug out from under her and that annoyed/sneer/bitchy smile she gives him.
She was no-nonsense from day 1 and all the way through. She also had heart - true heart. She was one of the best written characters in Star Trek. So many examples!
Obscure character??? Hmmm Vilix'pran The guy was pregnant and Jake looked after his kids who had hooks or wings or something! heheh.
Favourite Line is very hard. Maybe the last line by Sisko in "The Jem'Hadar" it just set everything up from there. The Trek universe would never be the same.
