Re: Most annoying/hated characters
Yeah, Jake's sorta the anti-Wesley, while Nog's the full-blown anti-Wesley.
Re: Most annoying/hated characters
Is anyone surprised who's in first place?

Re: Most annoying/hated characters
I am amazed that Wesley isn't in second place, however.

That character always annoyed the crap out of me.
I couldn't stand him. He always stuck me as a "whiny little bitch". I know, thats not politically correct, but thats how I always felt. He snivelled, he whined, he complained, and in the Klingon Conflict, he showed he was a coward. Granted, he never had any wish or desire to be in Starfleet, and that was the ONLY thing I liked about his character (his independence), but having a father like Sisko, and being raised around Starfleet officers, you'd figure he'd have developed a bit of backbone.
Even Nog "manned up" more than ol' Jake.

Re: Most annoying/hated characters
I don't mind Jake's wussiness, specifically because he wasn't the typical "blood of heroes in my veins," heir-apparent-to-Ben-Sisko type of character. Having no stomach for warfare is exactly what should be shown for someone who is explicitly stated to not want to be in Starfleet.

Re: Most annoying/hated characters
No stomach is one thing............running away and leaving people behind to die is another IMO.
But that was always his thing. He was always afraid of some damned thing.

Panicking while being shot at, especially given that he had no military training whatsoever, isn't exactly a surprising reaction.Mark wrote:No stomach is one thing............running away and leaving people behind to die is another IMO.

Re: Most annoying/hated characters
That's my point. Jake wasn't a military wunderkind, and it would have been terrible writing to have him suddenly act as if he was when put to it.

Zee, Boxey, Lumpy, Mel, Adric... There are plenty of candidates.
