5. Why is Shatner missing from this poll? He's clearly Not Of This Earth.
Okay fine, the unnamed Romulan Commander from The Enterprise Incident.

7. Guinan was a great mystical being! Great foil for Q too...
Pity her background was never explored... ("Generations" reveals her home planet, but that only opens the question "Aren't they all too close to Federation space, never mind Earth?" in the first place... Braga and co. should have handed the movies onto someone else to make the TNG franchise fresh... )

9. That is a shame
They could have had some interesting storytelling if they explored how Guinan could be a rival for Q. I wonder what kind of El Aurian kung fu she was about to unload on to Q during that first Borg episode. One of the El Aurians was on Deep Space Nine once. Odo called them "A Race of Listeners".

12. That's the one thing I liked about "Generations" and Guinan
"A race of listeners". Guinan listened and Soran listened, though Soran is evil and everything... more like a lost soul, and if they kept in the Geordi torture scenes then maybe people would have hated the guy instead... or the original ending, which is dramatically superior - even if it means Kirk is unceremoniously shot. (In Trek II, Kirk was caught off-guard too...)

In "Q Who" (the first Borg episode), Guinan is more than content to tell Picard to "start back now" - inferring the Borg are best avoided as any opponents the Borg find have no chance. (Given that subtext, I still can't believe she would become all lovey-dovey to Hugh in the lamentable "I, Borg"...)

I'll check up the DS9 episode. I'm hoping it was during seasons 4 or 7... :D

17. I think it was season 1 or 2
It was an early episode. Wasnt bad. But it didnt get good till season 3. I liked "I, Borg" but I didnt like what became of Hugh or the Borg in "Decent" (That was the episode right?). I thought those Borg were lame and disappointing.

21. Well in my case, I was one of the few....
...who liked that show. I was one of the fewer still who liked the opening song. (I know-I know weird huh?) That said, I am one of the many many fan-boys who thinks Jolene Blalock still is the hottest young lady ever to serve on a starship named Enterprise. Have you ever checked out her #1 Fan-Site? http://joleneblalock.org/

26. Tribbles.
How can you not like critters who spend all of their time reproducing themselves? When I looked at that pile of Tribbles I wondered how many of them were getting it on right then and there on camera.
