startrekWhat's your favorite Star Trek series? Favorite episodes overall? Favorite character?
On another note, When I was at work for one of my last days (I had two jobs) they were having this discussion:
"It's so stupid we've just got a new line in. And apparently __________ is getting some new line in. Cardassians."
Me: ... Cardassians? Like Star Trek?
"No, not like Star Trek. I don't know what you're talking about. Dork!" (Affectionately, of course.)
I'm thinking they might have had the name wrong!

Date: 2011-09-28 09:47 pm (UTC)i sometimes don't follow the crowd in what i like.
i like VOY & ENT because they weren't the usual trek stuff. VOY was lost in the delta quadrant and ENT was before what started it all. (if that makes sense)
i'm not sure why i like the more "quirky" episodes (i dislike the usual suspects though, like spock's brain)
archer & janeway where the captains in the "unusual" trek episodes. i guess that's why. paris was one of the characters that went through most change in the trek series.
hope that answers some questions.

DS9 as a whole is my favorite because it features the ongoing religion and politics of a particular place.
Garak is my favorite for a number of reasons. He gets some absolutely great dialogue, and he's wonderfully performed by an actor with a lot of presence. I like how queer-coded he is, and I love it when he's camp. :0) I like his interactions with everyone, particularly Bashir -- I like how he questions things about our art and culture that don't usually get questioned. It's interesting to see how his culture has shaped him.

They end at his life being an unresolvable torturous existence and I kept thinking about how awful his situation was and whether they were right to actually let him go alive, heh.

Favourite episode: All Good Things, Trials and Tribble-ations
Favourite character: Picard, Spock, Q
I love DS9 and TOS as well, and I enjoy watching Voyager, although not as much as the others. I've hardly seen any ENT - not a fan at all.
