Ok... do if Spock was your favorite TOS character, who was your fav NG character? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

*L* I know... that was a lllllllllllllllllong subject title! *L*

Ok... now, as I said... My favorite character was Mister Spock. I could identify with his inner fight. Emotion vs Logic, human vs. Vulcan. His inability to understand human emotion, yet he was obviously intrigued by it. His constantly having to battle his own human emotions in favor of his Vulcan half, which if I am not mistaken, he had decided to follow sometime in his youth, much to the emotional
hurt' he caused Amanda. But she dealt with it, out of her love of Sarek and her respect for him and his people.

Now, on ST: TNG... I'd have to say that my favorite character was Data, who was also fascinated by human emotions. The 24th Century Pinnochio. The android who wanted to be human. *L* The reason why I liked him and he was my favorite character, wasn't so much because he struggled to be more human, but because he was refreshingly naive and innocent. To me, Data, and I know this is going to sound weird *L* was a combination of TOS characters, Spock and Chekov.

His artificial intelligence was the Spock part of him, and his 'youthful' innocense and naivety, was the Chekov part of him. *L* Did that make any sense, or am I babbling like a brook!? *L*

Well I would have to go for Dr. Crusher. Just really liked her character. Then I have always been interested in the medical side of things. Although I did pick Spock over McCoy.

Data would be a close second for me. You are so right about his innocene. He is so innocent about some things while being so knowledgable about others.
