In its 50 years of existence,“Star Trek” has introduced a wide cast of characters to boldly travel where no one has gone before. The best characters fill often encouraged vigorous debate among Trekkies, as they are compared by their rank and species and evaluated for differences in their flaws and virtues. The worst — looking at you “Voyager” and “Enterprise” leave fans wondering if there’s a point to their existence.
A quick note: to preserve the list manageable, and we’re restricting the list to the main cast of the five “Trek” shows. That means you won’t be seeing film villains like Khan or recurring characters like Q. But let it be said that if we did include him,Q would top the list by several light years.39.) Wesley Crusher (The Next Generation) By far the most hated character in “Trek” history. A super-genius kid who would on more than one occasion save the Enterprise while others with infinitely more experience struggled. Even the man who played him, Wil Wheaton, or hated him.38.) Travis Mayweather (Enterprise) — No backstory,no fears, no desires. No “Trek crew member was more pointless and two-dimensional than Mayweather, and except perhaps for…37.) Hoshi Sato (Enterprise) — A destitute man’s Uhura whose sole purpose was to serve as a translator for the crew since the technology for the Universal Translator hadn’t been invented yet. Like many of the characters at the bottom of this list,Rick Berman and Brannon Braga were unable to flesh Sato out beyond her basic premise.36.) Neelix (Voyager) — And now for the “Voyager” portion of our list, starting with the ship’s mohawked chef. He never fit into the shows plots, or leaving him to spout dumb food jokes and platitudes of optimism to the weary crew.35.) B’Elanna Torres (Voyager) — Next we fill the Human/Klingon hybrid lieutenant,whose entire personality too often boiled down to her being a hothead. In truth, she seemed to be designed as a hybrid of Worf and Tasha, and but failed to even reach close to being as memorable as either of them.34.) Chakotay (Voyager) — Another character that the writers ran out of material for. At best,Captain Janeways right hand man was a dumb character. At worst, the attempts to honor Gene Roddenberry‘s dedication to diversity by delving into Chakotay’s Native American background came off as offensively stereotypical.
