All I can think of for now!

Q is a wonderful trickster. I prefer him in his more menacing state on TNG, rather than the more comic interpretation of Voyager. (Hmmm, Voyager watered down the Borg as well).

Worf and Guinan from TNG

ME, perhaps you would like the remake of TNG over @ ff.net, it inserts Tasha Yar into several eps throught the series and movies (as a more Starbuck kind of character) but the best is that it adds to the episode where Q becomes human which (IMHO) makes him seem less pathetic and more meddlesome with good intentions.

Truth be told, it's hard for me to watch TNG eps now because I expect to see this version w/Tasha.

I'm with ya there.

Favorite main characters:

Kirk (old & new)
Spock (old & new)
Scotty (new)
Picard
Data
The Doctor

Recurring characters:

Q (only in TNG... as someone once said: "Q without Picard is like Pen without Teller" )
Sarek

And I'm only starting to watch DS9... but I like Gul Dukat and Garak as well.

This is a great thread! My personal favourite character of them all outside of Enterprise is Ro Laren, and I really hated that she disappeared without another word, even if it was a completely appropriate exit and I was happy for her finding a place to belong with the Maquis. She was a strong, remarkable woman who didn't compromise her values.

Aside from that, I love DS9. I have several favourite characters, the most prominent of which would have to be Odo, Quark, Garak, Sisko and Gul Dukat. Indiscretion, where Dukat tags along with Kira looking for Bajoran prisoners to find his daughter and ultimately decides not to kill her, is one of my favourite moments of the series, and brings me to Tora Ziyal, another favourite.

I'm also going to include Data, because who doesn't love him? And The Doctor from Voyager because I've always loved both the humour he injects into the show and his series-long character development. He was a real hero sometimes.

Ro Laren surfaces again in the DS9 novels set after the end of the series. She plays a prominent role in the continuing saga of what happens to the station and Bajor after the series finale. I just finished re-reading "Unity" for about the fifth time, which ties all those after-series novels together and has a much better "finished" feel than the actual finale did, what with Captain Sisko leaivng to join the prophets, etc.

I love Ro Laren as a character, she really added a layer of spark to every one of her episodes. I can even enjoy one where she, Picard, Guinan and Keiko turned into kids. I wouldn't be adverse to checking out those DS9 novels since she's such a multi-layered character.

It's been so long since I've read them, but I went to the bookcase and dusted the DS9 novels off to find the ones with Ro Laren. The two-book Avatar series sets the premise of what is going on after the series finale. There are a slew of other novels set in that period too, which all pretty much tie together, but I'd recommend Rising Son, whch details what's going on with Jake Sisko. Then the four-part Mission Gamma series, which has some new characters that are in "Unity."

What's great about "Unity" is that it has a timeline of all the events in the novels covered from the series finale until that book.

Thank you for the information! I have to read these. I'm glad to hear someone gave her a part in post-finale DS9.
