Who's your favorite Star Trek actor and why is it Wil WHEATon?

>>79985666
Fuck of crusher, stop shit posting and report to deck you series ruining cunt

I felt bad at first when I heard that Wheaton hated Wesley, but then I found out how much of a douche Will Wheaton is and I didn't feel as bad.

On topic though, I like Stewart obviously, and I think LeVar Burton is underrated as shit in TNG. He has a really calming presence and really meshes well with the Geordi character

>>79986427
>I like Stewart
He's a pleb.

Honestly I think the VOY cast has my favorite actors, too bad the writing was weak most of the time

I don't understand the hate for Wesley. I mean, I get that he can be an annoying kid sometimes, but he showed that he was an incredibly capable engineer. After season 1, he just acted like a regular member of the crew, he wasnt even written as a dumbass kid anymore.

>>79986646

>>79986806
I found early-season Riker and later-season Picard more annoying since they were main characters. Them being a bit cardboardy and Mary Sue-ish was more of a drag than Wesley.

This is so retarded. They're both portrayed as being incredibly seasoned officers with gigantic amounts of experience between them.

What do you want out of Star Trek? Some kind of anime training montage over a series of 400 episodes where they become increasingly stronger? This wouldn't make any fucking sense in Star Trek. I don't even know if it makes sense in anime. Whatever the case, most venues for storytelling simply don't have room to work a character through a gigantic progression of gaining skill.
This is something that only retarded weeb neckbeards want out of a story. They BEGIN the series as experienced officers. That's enough to justify their abilities.

>>79986891
Riker doesn't even have a character. He just YELLS AT EVERYONE ALL THE TIME. At one point they tried to shoehorn some characterization about him being "jovial" but all he does is show off and play trombone.

>>79986891

Of all the stupidities, Star Fleet Academy almost didn't take him because he still wasn't good enough.

>>79986970
That's the whole point of drama. You put a character through situations that test them to near breaking point and they come out stronger for it. Think of all the most memorable moments from the series, it was things like Picard and the four lights and Riker being locked in the mental institution. The episodes where everyone knows exactly what to do and everything works out fine are forgettable.

i like patrick stewart because he pulls off the bald man without beard look while looking great

>>79986970
>This is so retarded. They're both portrayed as being incredibly seasoned officers with gigantic amounts of experience between them.
That's all fine, maybe "Mary Sue" isn't the right word, if taken to mean "skilled beyond their experience". I was talking more about how both the stakes and the room for the characters to grow were undermined in many episodes because there wasn't any resolution possible besides "Riker is charismatic/Picard is authoritative". It's a bit like if Geordi or Data episodes revolved around their technical ability rather than their personalities.
I'm going to be accused of missing the point and leveraging an unfair criticism at the show which was limited by the serial episodic format, but I acknowledge that it might just be a matter of personal taste, and some people like the inconsequential episodes like Genesis.

Kirk generally succeeded more through struggle or was Deus-Ex-Machina'd out of trouble by the hubris or sympathy of super-powerful mystic aliens, not constantly showing his innate superiority over every obstacle and adversary.

Being skilled, experienced, or talented doesn't make a Mary Sue.

I knew I wasn't alone in Wesley hating, his smugness is a pimple on the bridge, Riker is smug as shit from time to time but he has the experience and skills to back them up. I like Picard a lot too but the best characters are Geordi and Data by far, they suit the Enterprise quite well. Worst character to me is the saddy black signing church lady at the "bar".

Special note for Q his acting is so over the top is wonderful and he just makes the series more interesting.

Pulaski was the only thing that made season 2 watchable, she was essentially a female McCoy.

>>79990230
McCoy wasn't so annoying

that's the difference
a man acting like McCoy is likeable and comes off as a guy having more concerns about ethics
a female acting that way comes off as a cunt

>>79990230
The problem is the McCoy & Spock dynamic doesn't work well with Pulaski & Data, it just made her seem like an asshole.

This.

Spock had some vague understanding of emotions, even if he chose to eschew them. Data is pretty much a hyper intelligent child learning about humanity.

McCoy shitting on Spock comes across as jovial and light hearted because Spock made the choice to not feel emotions

Pulaski came across like she was kicking a kid in the shins when she shat on Data

I'm not saying there is in universe, but for the audience, the one it was easiest to form a bond with was Data. Particularly in those first two seasons where everyone was uptight and sterile.

She might not have come across as such a prick had her season been S6 or whatever, but in season 2 when she's bullying what is objectively the best character at that point? Nah.

>>79996083

Pulaski is the most sterile person on the crew when not around Data. Her entire personality is this wooden half-human thing that comes off as more androidish than Data. She has no character, so if you make the comparison to Crusher, you actually find out that Pulaski is "ms.Blank" and fails to hold up against Crusher except in Season 1 when it comes to this value.

Casting this dull old woman to replace a moderately attractive and at least somewhat realistic person in Crusher wasn't a good decision.

I'm gonna be honest. Most of the time klingons bore me to tears. I like some Worf moments, but... Klingon-centric episodes (and the ones on TNG which were exclusively about this theme) are some of the worst. I think they are good actors, but their whole culture is so unappealing

Wow. Just. Wow.

Did Worf "ever do anything of importance?"? Uhh, YEAH.

-Killed the head of the Klingon high council
-Became rule of the Klingon empire
-In a magnanimous turn of events he thrusts that awesome power on the most needed type of rule in Martok
-Kills the main conspirator to bring down the Klingon empire in Duras

This is just off the top of my head and these were part of the most important storylines of TNG and DS9. Most characters would be so lucky to have Worf's resume.

>>79997710
I disagree in part.

The Klingon centric episodes were best within the TNG and DS9 series but outside of them were fucking atrocious and not because they were being presented within generally maligned series such as Voyager and Enterprise.

No, by the time Voyager and Enterprise had aired the entire Klingon motif and arc had reached it's apex and could only go downhill in terms of relevance and interest to the Trek fan. Same thing could be said of the Borg by the end of Voyager.

At times, I wished they would've spaced out the Klingon episodes but in hindsight, keeping the two-parters close with Worf standalones seemed to add to their presence geographically in my mind as I watched so you never felt like the empire was too far away even in episodes where there were no Klingons.
