Best Star Trek Doctor?

[LostInAnomie]

Edit: I know I didn't include Dr. Pulaski, but that's because she sucked. No intelligent person would ever say Pulaski!

[SeattleGirl]

1. Dr. Crusher!

Though the Hologram Doc comes in at a close second!

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. 'In a pig's eye'

:P

[Heidi]

2. "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"

-- Dr. Leonard McCoy

[hfojvt]

3. I really wanna go with Bones

especially the one from the eponymous TV show

but I gotta admit he lost almost as many patients as Quincy. "He's dead, Jim."

[Heidi]

5. "Damn it Jim, I'm just a country doctor!"

:P

[some guy]

6. Damn it Lost

I'm a Doctor, not a poll response. :D

I picked Beverly Crusher :bounce:

[TheBaldyMan]

7. 3-way tie Bones, Phlox and Emergency holoprogram.

[bridgit]

8. Beverley...

[Book Lover]

9. Pulaski so did not suck!

She was a salute to the original series in so many ways. Plus, a strong older woman as a regular was totally cool!

[Deja Q]

15. Quite!

She was a much maligned; said to be a mere McCoy ripoff... later Doctors were rather more ripoffs of McCoy, but by then nobody cared.

I feel sorry for Diana Muldar.

[Bassic]

18. I think she sucked...

Mostly because she often came off as a bitch, especially when dealing with Data.

[Deja Q]

20. But Data was a machine... and when she wasn't around, the most human character on the show too.

:rofl:

[Writer]

25. Her characters in both LA Law and Star Trek really rubbed viewers the wrong way.

There was a negative, antagonistic quality that turned me off, at least.

[LostInAnomie]

26. Every time I see her I think of that episode...

... where that strategy expert plays Data at stragagema(sp?) and she tells Data to "Bust him up". Well, Data gets beaten and it throws him into an existential crisis where he doubts everything he's ever done. He eventually gets over it and goes back and beats the guy. Then, when the crowd is congratulating him Pulaski asks Data something and Data's reply is "I didn't beat him... I busted him up", and then the crowd erupts in an after school specialesque cheer that closes out the episode.

That's why I dislike her. For that stupid ending, and for introducing "bust him up" into Data's vocabulary.

Rational, nope. But, that doesn't change anything.

[petronius]

27. Pulaski was far and away the best doctor

She was the only one where I actually believed she was doing something other than waving a flashing, buzzing toy around to magically heal the patient. Her character also struck me as more of a genuine scientist than most other characters in the show...

[jeff30997]

10. Beverly Crusher...

Because back then I had a crush on her.:blush:

[begin_within]

11. I'm a doctor, not a poll entry!

How could anyone even consider anyone other than Bones as the winner of this....

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. *SPOILER*

He's dead, Jim.

[krispos42]

14. "You get his tricorder, I'll get his wallet" n/t

[NoodleBoy]

13. beverly crusher actually seemed to be around to do more than just make doctor or mccoy jokes

It's kind of sad that Julian Bashir hasn't gotten any votes, but that's probably because he spent so much of his time looking like a sad puppy because Dax wouldn't screw him.

[YankeyMCC]

16. McCoy was also a good bartender

so hands down he wins.

[AllegroRondo]

21. thats what I look for in a doctor.

[Bassic]

17. I think the EMH kicked ass

Especially during the early seasons.

[zippy890]

35. Absolutely - I loved The Doctor on Voyager

He was so funny, without intending to be.

and the things he could do with borg nanoprobes!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. I enjoy them all. But not Pulaski so much.

[Orsino]

22. A little love for Phlox here.

He's my wife's favorite Enterprise character, by far. I don't know about that, but he was a convincing alien, with a lotta wisdom. Phlox rox!

[Orrex]

30. The episode with the Organians really won him points IMO

Faced with a pair of nigh-omnipotent energy-based entities, Phlox had the integrity to castigate them for their callous disregard for the suffering of others. It was a crystalizing moment IMO that clearly established him as a healer.

It's on par with Bones' "choke me or cut my throat" moment when Khan had the scalpel to his jugular.

[judaspriestess]

34. I just watched that episode the other night

I had it saved on my DVR. I really like Phlox. I also thought that was a great moment.

I voted for McCoy for nostalgic purposes. Beverly Crusher is cool too. But I'm partial to Enterprise.

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. Bashir.

Did Bones, Bev, or the EMH cure the quickening?

I didn't think so.

[petronius]

29. Yeah, but Bashir was 'juiced', so his record gets an asterisk

The genetically-modified players are a blight on the noble profession of future-medicine...

[Orrex]

31. There can be only one

Oh, wait. Wrong quickening.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

24. gotta go with bones-original star trek is the only one that counts to me

all the later ones were filled with robotic people babbling techno speak. i'll take shatner and co's hammy acting over that any day

[NaturalHigh]

28. I have to go with Bones...

but, damn, Beverly Crusher was hot. Too bad she had such a half-wit for a son.

[Aristus]

32. Bones, because of all of his cranky irascibility in the Original Series and

for his very believable anguish at being unable to save the Klingon ambassador in Star Trek VI.

[eyepaddle]

33. I really want to vote for McCoy, really I do, but

I can't help it.

Beverly Crusher it is--especially after she lost those 150 unsightly pounds of Wesley.

Sorry Heidi and CMW! ;)

[Zavulon]

36. The EMH. He saved the ship with his fictitious "photonic cannon."

Funniest episode of any Star Trek series I've ever seen.

[Pierre.Suave]

37. I voted Crusher

because, she is the only one I want to bang...

[Call Me Wesley]

38. EMH Mark II.

Because ... FREE DRUGS!

[Bassic]

39. That one was very annoying.

As is the actor who played him. ;)
