PERFORMANCES (# of episodes)
patrick stewart (jean-luc picard, 176) ****
Plus 4 films, and "Emissary" DS9. He also directed five episodes. Do we like kirk or do we like...
PICARD-A-THON
-the ready room scene from FIRST CONTACT
-We'll Always Have Paris
-Chain of Command II
-Lessons
-Bloodlines
-Family
-the ready room scene from GENERATIONS
-Tapestry
jonathan frakes (will riker, 176) ****
Plus 4 films, "Defiant" DS9, "Death Wish" VOY, and "These Are the Voyages" ENT. See http://nakedmeadow.blogspot.com/2010/04/maybe-those-are-muskets.html.
brent spiner (data, 175) ****
Plus 4 films, and 4 ENTERPRISEs. Why are we so moved by emotionless eyes? Is it perhaps our desire to be wildly free of our shells, a freedom which happened on more than one occasion for mssrs. spock and data? Come to think of it, splicing their marathons might be brilliant. Brent also co-wrote NEMESIS.
DATATHON
-The Ensigns of Command
-The Most Toys
-In Theory
-Hero Worship
-Descent pt. I
-Thine Own Self
SOONGATHON
-Datalore
-Brothers
-Inheritance
-The Augments ENT
michael dorn (worf, 173) ****
Plus 5 films and 98 DS9s. See http://nakedmeadow.blogspot.com/2011/09/deep-space-nine.html.
levar burton (geordi laforge, 170) ****
Plus 4 films, and "Timeless" VOY. He also directed two episodes...plus ten DS9s, eight VOYAGERs, and nine ENTERPRISEs, making him the most prolific TREK actor-turned-director (and entitling him to a spot in the nimoy/frakes "most parameter-exceeding" debate). Gay jamaican or not, he's our geordi.
GEORDITHON
-Booby Trap
-Galaxy's Child
-Force of Nature
-Interface
-the (actual) bridge scene from INSURRECTION
-the Challenger scenes from "Timeless" VOY
marina sirtis (deanna troi, 166) ***
Plus 4 films, 3 VOYAGERS, and "These Are the Voyages" ENT.
DEANNATHON
-New Ground
-The Loss
-Face of the Enemy
-Eye of the Beholder
gates mcfadden (beverly crusher, 153) ***
Perhaps a generous rating? I'm just saying, it boggles me that some consider frakes a weak link, when riper targets present themselves. But i'm not inclined to snipe...if gates and marina occasionally revealed themselves as less than streep (or stewart), the writers still knew how to make them (and the show) almost always look good. She also appeared in 4 films, and directed the episode "Genesis".
BEVERLYTHON
-the ready room scene from "The Naked Now"
-The High Ground
-the dance scene from "Data's Day"
-Transfigurations
-the dinner scene from "Allegiance"
-Remember Me
-Attached
wil wheaton (wesley crusher, 67) ****
Plus 1 film. Any wisecracks? We'll step outside the airlock. You first.
WESLEYTHON
-Samaritan Snare
-The Game
-Menage a Troi (fast-forwarding urged)
-Final Mission
-The First Duty
colm meaney (o'brien, 52) ***
Plus 159 DS9s...quite a lot, really.
denise crosby (tasha/sela, 28) ****
YARATHON
-Code of Honor
-the yar/data scene from "The Naked Now"
-Skin of Evil
-Legacy
-Yesterday's Enterprise
whoopi goldberg (guinan, 28) ****
Plus 2 films. SISTER ACT? Forgiven. SISTER ACT 2? Give us more time.
diana muldaur (doctor pulaski, 22) **
Is it possible that minus the context of "beverly placeholder", we would have embraced her more? Was diana not a better actor, and pulaski a more dynamic character? For reasons beyond her control, was she doomed to be a soggy substitute, or was she genuinely soggy on her own? Discuss. Plus 2 STAR TREKs.
patty yasutake (nurse alyssa, 16) **
Plus 2 films.
michelle forbes (ro laren, 9) ****
To be at peace is to dwell not on "what-ifs". But it does tantalize, to think about what could have happened had she accepted a role on DS9 or VOYAGER...
ROATHON
-Ensign Ro
-Conundrum
-Preemptive Strike
-Imposters PIC
rosalind chao (keiko, 8) **
Plus 19 DS9s.
john de lancie (q, 8) ****
Plus "Q-Less" DS9, and 3 VOYAGERs. He took a well-written character, and flew it right off the charts.
Q-A-THON
-Encounter at Farpoint
-Hide and Q
-Deja Q
-True Q
-The Q and the Grey VOY
brian bonsall (alexander, 7) *
Kill me now.
majel barrett (lwaxana, 6) **
Fortunately i'm already dead, so i can't feel the pain. No, in all fairness, she persevered and eventually had flashes of redemption...plus 2 films, 12 TASs, and 3 episodes of DS9.
dwight shulz (barclay, 5) ****
Plus 1 film, and 6 VOYAGERs. Critically, reg was perhaps the first serious step away from the classic roddenberry vision. Could a 24th century humyn be this neurotic? Why didn't they make his character a non-humyn crew member? Was that even considered? For better or worse, the character is perfectly realized.
