I'll second all three of them, and add Winn; she was such an awful character that I had to love Louise Fletcher's performance even more. :worried:

I like Lwaxana Troi because of all the mirth and merriment she usually causes and also Vash because she's the perfect MILF :)

She can't be a MILF. I don't see her as the childbearing type.

She's hot, though. :)

Garak was awesome but he was almost a main cast member.

I'll go for Q.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I see Garak as a minor character that become more of a major character. Like O'brian. Speaking of which, O'brian in TNG.

Gotta go with Shran, single best character in Enterprise and that's meant as actual praise, not a backhanded insult.

Mayweather wasn't a recurring character. He was furniture.

He had a couple of really good lines.

"Aye Captain."

"Yes Ma'am"

"Pedal to the metal, Commander." (Oh wait was that.........ahh, close enough)

All joking aside, you gotta feel bad for the actor. Guy is a main cast character on a TV show with a four year run (which is actually better than probably 95% of TV shows out there) and he's got literally nothing to put on a resume. The fucking dog got more attention than he did.

They gave him a couple of pity episodes in the first season. But by season three, nothing. I guess they figured "how interesting can a helmsman be".

They managed it with Tom. Sure he was annoying as hell, ugly, and stupid, but at least he actually had a character.
