This is pretty straightforward; just tell everyone who and why. Please be civil and courteous as well. Thanks!

Toss-up between Picard and Data, but I'll go with the latter. Both were well-rounded, interesting characters played perfectly and I doubt the series could've survived without them both.

Not sure why Yar is part of the poll, though. Dr. Pulaski (and maybe even Q) were in more episodes than she was.

50/50 split between Picard and Geordi. Burton and Stewart both kick ass and I'll watch anything they're in.

I would have to go with Q

I included her as part of the original cast. I don't know about the episode count with Dr. Pulaski, but John de Lancie only did nine of them.

The Captain.

Data leads the league in times saving the Enterprise/universe, was generally the comic relief (he named his cat Spot!), and on average Data-centric eps were better than other character-centric eps (Troi the worst of course). In 7 seasons they did everything they could with Picard, but with Data there was always more places to take the character. In the finale the 2 most smile inducing parts are seeing young Data and old Data. If you could hang out with one of the characters of course you'd choose Data - even in the show everyone would be thrilled to meet Data.

Picard. I liked everyone except Troi. What a useless character.

Riker was always my favorite character, because he's the one most like myself/the one I can relate to the most.

cleaver

I sense dislike.
You have a beard and bang aliens?

Red Dog

Easily Picard, even if he was a wuss compared to Kirk.

Red Dog

Yeah, there was little depth to Riker. I think of him the same way - and that he can apparently bluff well at play-money poker.

Data, then the cap'n.

I have a soft spot for Geordi LaForge. LeVar Burton was criminally underused in this series (he's an Emmy winning actor for chrissakes). But, he made Geordi very appealing with his unique and compelling delivery. Maybe it's me but he could still be facially expressive despite the girl's hair barrette covering his eyes for seven years. Also Geordi had the best one-liners of TNG bar none.

I think season 3's "The Enemy" was his best episode.

I guess I never understood her point. Every once in awhile they would have her sense something that would save everyone but it always seemed forced. And I'll get nerd-slapped for this, but I never found her hot, either.

I always figured it sucked to be Troi. She'd always have to think to keep some barrier up or she'd feel every emotion on the ship. If she can sense feelings of someone miles away on another ship, she'd be able to feel every emoition on the Enterprise.

Shannon Nutt

They prefer to be called undocumented immigrants.

lisadoris

Yeah I feel the same way about LaForge but Data inches him out as my favorite character. The Data-centric episodes were the best (Measure of a Man is hands-down my favorite TNG episode) and the relationship between Data and LaForge was genuine and didn't feel forced like some of the other relationships on the show (*cough* Riker and Troi *cough*).

adamblast

This tidbit comes from the S3 Bluray pak: Stewart never stopped complaining to the writers that he wanted Picard to be more like Kirk. He grew a rep for saying "More shooting and screwing! More shooting and screwing!"

Goldberg74

Worf... because he's Worf!

cleaver

She has super powers yet she's the least useful most high maintenance person on a bridge that includes Wes.
Worf's one liners were superior IMO.

Shannon Nutt

They did address this as the series went on...Picard hitting people and having an on-again/off-again girlfriend (Vash).

Picard isn't a wuss compared to Kirk.
