Favorite Alien Guest - Who is your favorite alien guest?

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]On each Star Trek series, who is your favorite alien guest(like name the main alien that gets most of the action in an episode)? If you cant think of one, just name the alien race[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]DS9: Garak & Dukat, hands down. Other Cardassians (Damar, various one-episode guests) don't do much for me, but those two are played by phenomenal actors.

(t)NG: Q, obviously.

(t)OS: Sarek

VOY, ENT: I don't watch them.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]how can you not watch VOY and ENT!?

::ahem:: For Voyager, Seska, hands down. And for TNG, I liked Deanna's mom. I'd spell her name but I can't remember how. :D As for Enterprise, no comment, TOS, I don't watch, DS9, I don't get.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Her name's Lwaxana.

I really don't get to watch any of the series. So I'll just go with the tribbles where applicable. :smile: That'd be TOS and DS9, for the purposes of this thread. ;) ;) As for TNG, hmm, the word "episode" was distinctly used, so no opinion right now on that or VOY. Or ENT.[/color:post_uid0]

I forgot to mention Weyoun and Brunt. They come as a package, since they're both played by the same actor.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Dukat, Garak, the Romulan Commander played by Mark Lenard, Sarek (also Mark Lenard), Andreas Katsulas (more as Vissian dude than Tomalok)... er... can't think of any others right now.

ENT: the vulcan from fallen hero (I use to know her name too, i think by brain is melting or something.)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]TOS: Either Balok or Trelane, I can't make my mind up.
TNG: Mr. Homn.
DS9: The Founders.
VOY: The Q ("How many times do I have to tell you - don't annoy the Borg!")
ENT: Dr. Phlox (who I reckon is also the most underused charcter on that show).[/color:post_uid0]

Yup. They could do so many interesting things with him, but instead he's been more or less ignored in that respect. He seems to spend most of his time standing around in sickbay with a slightly creepy smile on his face, or condemning sentient species to eventual doom.[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The Borg, and Q win hands down for this one.

I stopped watching enterprise after six eps, so I can't say much about it. And everytime someone does 'ENT' the first thing that pops into mind are giant, walking, talking tree-beings.[/color:post_uid0]

[Standback]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I definitely go with any character by Jeffery Combs. DS9 gets double-triple-quadruple credit for having so many great recurring characters - Weyoun, certainly, and of course Garak, Dukat, Damar, the Female Shapeshifter...

ENT - I'd go for Daniel (that's him, right? The guy from the future?)

TNG - Q, certainly. And Lore. Definitely Lore.

VOY - Hmm. I'm trying to think what recurring characters there *are*. Barcley and Troi, maybe, but I didn't like them in particular... The Borg Queen, I think, would be my pick here.

TOS I just don't know well enough...

-------[/color:post_uid0]

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I have seen some good answers, but what I was going for are characters you only see once that pretty much represent the alien species. Like when Voyager visits a planet, one or some of those aliens have lines and a name. And after that episode, you never see them again. That is what I was trying to go for, but you all have been doing a good job.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]IIRC, the Ming vase is called a Ming vase because the art style came ot prominence during their authoritarian 17th century administration. Dynasty. Whatever.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]An orange flavored cookie. I'm afraid you did not specify whether you were referring to a cookie tasting like an orange, an orange cookie with flavor, or an orange that's flavored like cookie. In any case, I've got my umbrella up and ready.[/color:post_uid0]

none of the above. it's a cookie that has the flavour of the color orange. When you bite into it, the whole world turns orange momentarily.

Really? I was in a school bus that the altenator fell out of once. It was a geriatric double decker seemingly held together with old chewing gum. The driver was a bit of a grumpy guy too. And I left my shoes on it once, but that's another story. There was also one incident on Lewis (when I lived outside of Stornoway) when a bus got blown into a ditch just down the road from my house.
