1. Fess up...
...who voted for Wesley?

Worf for the win...single father (sort of), falsely accused of being a traitor with no honor, and one of the few Klingons in the Federation.

4. Worf was a horrible father
And he was a boring klingon. None of the other klingons really liked him except Martok. And only because Worf was in prison with him.

10. Well, to be fair...
... Worf had a horribly lame son. So, you really can't blame him.

13. If Worf was a real Klingon he'd have taken the stupid kid from Family Ties and made him a warrior!
But Worf instead got Urkel for a son.

19. There was no, and I repeat no, redeeming Alexander.
He sucked from the womb on out. Q couldn't have even made him a bad ass.

21. I think a name change would have been a huge step in the right direction.
I mean, come on, Alexander? A Klingon (even half) named Alexander?

23. They could have named him Steve
I AM STEVE SON OF WORF! I FIGHT FOR THE GLORY OF THE HOUSE OF STEVE!

Then he can name his son Joe.

I AM JOE SON OF STEVE!

Edited on Sat Dec-05-09 01:36 AM by TCJ70

2. Data
Worf would probably be the least sucky but he was just a really boring Klingon.

8. TNG had three characters that defined the human experience...
... and only two of them were human. Picard is a prime example of what every human should strive to be. Worf is the personification of the angst felt when torn between two worlds. Data is a personification of striving to understand existence.

All three were incredibly complex characters that far outshined the rest of the cast.

And this after having saved humankind and the Enterprise for sooo long. Okay, after putting them into danger, but hey, Wesley fixed it! And in the end, he turned against them for the rights of the few! :woohoo:

43. I guess if I was going to pick someone to sit down and visit with, Data would be my
first choice, followed by Picard.

If we were talking about dating, it would be bearded Riker followed by end-series Worf and Data with the emotion chip on.

Spiner was pretty funny and Sirtis was very easy on the eyes.
