Annorax from the Voyager episode "Year of Hell" really sticks in my mind. A tragic character doing incredible amounts of damage repeatedly to save one person. This episode is probably my favorite from the series.
Don't know if he's my absolute favourite, but I love Timicin from TNG's S04E22 "Half a Life". He's a good, dedicated and kind man who would have been a great long-term partner for Lwaxana Troy, but for the fact that he is about to commit ritual suicide as he's about to turn 60 as a part of a culturally enforced practice called The Resolution.
Played by David Ogden Stiers, he has great chemistry with Majel Barrett, and their relationship is a believable one. He's a man torn between challenging his society for the chance to keep living in order to save it (he's the lead scientist trying to stabilise their sun) while finding love with Lwaxana, and not rocking the boat and simply doing what's expected of him.
And of course, in the end, >!he chooses to die!<.
Just a heads up something went wrong with your spoiler tag (at least on my end). If I'm wrong then ignore me!
That said I was thinking of him, too. The episode is one of the ones I never skip.
Hopefully I've sorted it now!
I put in the limitation because I don't want everyone to just say Q, BTW.
I choose Q. The other Q from voyager. Who I just found out did the voice of jay's dad on the critic
Well, I choose Q! The other Q from Voyager, played by Suzie Plakson, who also played Alexander's mom!
Well, I also choose Q! The other other Q also known as Junior, was played by Keegan de Lancie, son of John!
Since you don't want me to choose Q, I choose the next the best option - Trelane from TOS! :P
I mean, Q, Garak, Shran... there's quite a list of good guest characters that appear more than a couple of times.
My answer is AGIMUS, from Lower Decks s2e7. I'm a sucker for Jeffery Combs
Hmm, I just discovered Iggy Pop's music for the first time so I'll go with Yelgrun, the Vorta in The Magnificent Ferengi, DS9, Season 6, one of my personal favorite episodes.
If you've never listened to The Idiot or Lust For Life then drop everything you're doing and put them on, they are fantastic albums.
Captain Braxton. I'm a sap for time shenanigans.
They could call such Captain Braxton Shenanigans, Captain Brannigans.
James Moriarty.
I also liked Mark Twain (I know) when I first saw TNG because as a young Canadian I had no idea who he was. It made me read a bit more about the person and his work.
This is such a good answer. I loved that character too and forgot all about it while I was thinking about.
Apparently it's common to forget about him, since since the crew of the Enterprise did the same for a few years, until he had to remind them of his existence.
Ok, 2 episodes or less? I'm going to go with The Dog from LD. Because who wouldn't love a cute, cuddly, all-powerful pet?
I just remembered that time John Ryhs Davies (gimli among other roles) guest starred on Voyager as Leonardo da Vinci! That was a fun one.
Most recently, Edward Larkin, from the Short Treks episode "The Trouble with Edward".
Kurros - Jason Alexander
