As my username suggests, I am a serious Trekkie, though I've taken a bit of a hiatus from watching the show over the past couple years. I created this thread so fans and casual viewers of the show can share their opinions.
Fandom level: What level of trek fan are you? Answers might be "casual fan" or "the show sucks" etc.
Best Series/Movie: What's your favorite series? Voyager? The Next Generation? Maybe you like one of the movies.
Favorite Captain: self-explanatory
Favorite Character: Try not to pick a captain because there is already a category for that (unless you really like two different captains). And try not to pick Spock. Everybody loves Spock. I'm trying to learn something here.
What Alien Race Would You Be?: What Star Trek race is most similar to your personality? Are you a Klingon warrior? A creepy Talaxian?
Then, if you feel like it, write a blurb about Star Trek. This could be anything you feel like saying.
Copy/Paste if you want:
Fandom Level: Obsessed
Best Series: DS9
Favorite Captain: Sisko
Favorite Character: Worf
What Alien Race Would You Be?: Vulcan (obviously)
I've seen every single Star Trek television show (except Discovery and TAS) and every single movie. I started watching syndicated TNG episodes when I was a teenager and loved it. I'm not a huge fan of the Abrams movies. They're okay, but (to me) it's not Trek. One thing that really appeals to me about Trek is Gene Roddenberry's optimistic vision of the future. I hope that as technology advances, humankind will solve the problems of poverty, racism, and war (at least on our own planet).
Fandom level Trekkie
Favorite series
For character development-Deep Space Nine (Worf becomes a total badass )
For social commentary -The Original Series (The Balance Of Terror )
For writing- The Next Generation (Best Of Both Worlds)
For redeeming itself in later seasons - Enterprise (The last two Seasons were awesome)
Favorite Movie
The Wrath of Khan
Favorite Captain
Jean Luc Picard - He's the most balanced captain
Favorite Characters -Main Cast
Worf- As he gets the most development of any character
Data - Watching him evolve over TNG was neat
Dax- Too many reasons
Nog - He goes from an annoying punk to an interesting character
Favorite Characters- Recurring
General Martok - Best Klingon ever . That talk he has with Sisko about marriage was hilarious .
Weyoun - All his incarnations are interesting. Whether he's sampling Pizza . Plotting the genocide of Earth . Or drinking poison . It always ends in death . He's the Kenny of Star Trek .
Shran - He's just an awesome charter
Favorite Character- Villian
The Female Changeling - She's absolutely ruthless
Alien race i would be
Andorian - Blue skin - Awesome looking antenna
Romulan- Best looking ships
After seeing Cathooloo's comments about DS9 characters I was going to mention Martok.
He was a brilliant character (though, if I were him, I would have had Worf killed after becoming Chancellor since Worf does have an interesting habit of killing chancellors or those trying to become chancellor.
Just in case.
Garak, another brilliant character.
Best DS9 episode was The Visitor, followed by (can't remember the name) the episode in which Sisko works with Garak to bring the Romulans into the war, and then Way of the Warrior.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
