How can Worf not be on this list? First of all, most appearances in Star Trek so the most time to develop the character. And he changed from act first warrior to dishonored Klingon to full man of honor to being worthy of Dax’s love to losing Dax to being a diplomat to captaining the Enterprise to becoming a Shaolin Monk type spy with Section 31! He wins!
I agree completely with you.
I agree with you. How can he not be in the top 10? Some punk kid made it from one season of Prodigy?
But does he still drink prune juice?
You forgot he also became a deadbeat dad.
Worf did get a lot of development. But Michael Dorn also holds the franchise record for most credited appearances, with over 150.
No Benjamin Sisko? He went from broken single father to Bajoran Jesus over 7 seasons. I'd say that's an extreme development.
how about "In the Pale Moonlight" alone?
Username checks out
Heck, his development alone in "Emissary" was tremendous. He went from basically barely seething at the sight of Picard for killing his wife and hating the assignment to Bajor to all smiles and actually seeming like a new man.
I know I’m alone but I never liked him… just not my captain I guess
@@lovipoekimo176 After rewatching "Emissary" following Picard season 3, new nuance can be seen in Avery Brook's performance. If given the chance, he wouldn't be as polite as drugged up Shaw was.
SO glad Dr Crusher finally got a real arc. Definitely the most underrated character on TNG! 👏🏻
I love Dr Crusher. She was one of my favorite TNG characters and would have been even better with more development and things to do over the series and movies.
Basically anyone outside Picard, Data, and Worf weren't given the character development they needed
I like dr crusher without botox and implants
@@g_pazzini another incel MAGA January 6th insurrectionist trolling for laughs. Blocked and muted troll
Same. She had some good episodes but was so criminally underused in the films.
Well, Data's evolution from Pinocchio to a "real child" should had at least mentioned
He has a VERY legit claim to the #1 spot, and he's not even on this list. Insane.
I second this! Data and Spock easily tie for #1.
Data died twice to help his development along
That's just cheating.
Nog's journey is certainly one of my favorite: from a young derailed adolescent coming from an incomplete family and an understimated species subject to discrimination, to becoming the first Ferengi in Star Fleet (not even genius Wesley could complete that) and presumably a legend (having a starship given his name is certainly an important feat). He wasn't the brightest individual, he wasn't a physically strong person, nor extremely capable officer. However he had the WILL to become a better himself, against all odds. I think that that could be the reason for so many people admiring and appreciating him. Humble yet strong willed Nog... A truly inspiring character.
Also, he couldn't read. Jake was teaching him before the school opened.
👋👏❣️🇨🇦
Damar. He went from Gul Dukat's lackey, to a political puppet, to a true leader who shook off his puppeteers and inspired his people to greatness. His ingrained beliefs were challenged and changed, he came to regret his past decision, and he fought against tyranny and the oppression of his people. Damar was the hero that Cardassia needed.
And he delivered one of the greatest lines in Trek history: "Maybe you should go talk to Worf again!"
And in the end made the ultimate sacrifice for his people
Good shout.
What about Chief O'Brien? Sure he didn't move far in rank but from the time we meet him in TNG to when we leave him on DS9 his character had two children, became a veteran in two wars, and spent a lifetime in prison only to find out it was fake. He was very affected by all this.
Not to mention he started out in TNG basically as an ‘extra’ and went on to be a main character in DS9.
Also considered the most important officer in Starfleet history according to lower decks.
He actually lost his commission when he left for DS9
I think the interesting thing about Miles is that he *doesn't* change - despite his growing family, relationships with Julian, Nog and Kira,his increased responsibilities and all the terrible, terrible things that happen to him, he remains largely the same no-nonsense highly-skilled hard-working veteran as served on the Rutledge and the Enterprise.
Except of course that he *isn't*, since that Miles died in 'Visionary".
I wouldn't say O'Brien changes as a character.
He is introduced as a competent engineer and a trustworthy officer, he continues to be those things.
Surprised you didn't mention that Nog most likely went on to something extraordinary, seeing as how he has a ship named after him in the future.
_Lower Decks_ should at least have a throwaway line about "Give my respects to Captain Nog."
You missed Odo. Although his sense of justice and law & order didn't ever go away, he grew from a surly security officer who was entirely dismissive of solids and longed to be reconnected to his people to someone who connected with his people and found how they controlled others to be wanting and violative of his sense of morality. He also became more willing to reveal parts of himself that he had formerly considered so intensely private because they were so unusual (eg, see returning to gelatinous form in the folds of Lwaxana Troi's dress after she revealed she wasn't all she appeared to be either) and eventually to allow himself to give into feels of love and tenderness in a romantic relation with Kira Nerys.
He also found the ability to let go of all that he loved so that he could not only save his people from a deadly plague for which he was the cure but also as an opportunity to share himself so completely with his people in the Great Link that he could help them see that not all solids are evil and that they can (more or less) be trusted and did not need to be seen merely as objects of subjugation.
He also developed a wicked sense of sarcastic humor.
Wish he was still with us. I feel if he was, he would've had a cameo in Picard s3
To be fair, about the only two DS9 characters to NOT have a massive growth in development were O'Brien and Quark. Even then, they showed strong growth from beginning to end. Even Ezri, with 1 season, had hefty growth. It just goes to show how well developed both the story and characters were in DS9.
Garek and Odo should have been on the list.
And let's not forget Commander Sisko, who starts out a grim but pragmatic starfleet officer and winds up a mystic. But then DS9 was an amazing series for character development for everyone!
@@thecunninlynguist There's a way to bring Odo back. Let Nana Visitor play him. What if Odo gives up on imitating the man who first discovered him, where his love/hate entanglements get in the way of him ever doing a proper job of it, and opts instead to for another model: the "solid" he most loves and knows most intimately? I think Ms. Visitor could pull it off handsomely!
I see Jeri Ryan as now the biggest star of the franchise, a wonderful successor to Leonard Nimoy. Seven is one of the most interesting and complex characters in all of Star Trek and that's due in no small part to Ryan's skill and talent as an actor.
Skipping Odo and Kira is an absolute traveshamockery. Other people have mentioned Odo here, but Kira had the most EXTREME development. She went from a recovering Bajoran terrorist/Freedom fighter who fought with everyone from her own government to Cmdr. Sisko at the beginning to actually helping Cardassians retake their homeworld. If you had told me in season one that Kira would HELP Cardassia, I would have laughed in your face. But not only that, she bonded with her Cardassian "father", fell in love with a Changling, spent time in the Holosuite with Dax, felt ashamed that she never went to a baseball game with Sisko, learned to play baseball to defend the honor of her captain (who she hated in the pilot) ... the list goes on and on. How could you NOT include this?
Agreed. Kira probably had the most extreme and in-depth development. Compare season 1 Kira with that scene in Season 7 with Damar and Garak, 'yeah Damar, what sort of people would give those orders'
You forgot that scene in Duet where she wept over a murdered Cardassian; a Cardassian she released from the brig because he wasn't guilty of war crimes.
Good point. These top 10 lists are serious business. This list can not stand!!! ;)
You mentioned Nog, but what about his dad... Rom? From background character to Grand Negis? That is truly a great leap of character development.
Rom is good but he's no Nog. Him going nowhere in life is what inspired his son to join Starfleet so that he wouldn't become his dad but Nog joining Starfleet inspired Rom to join the Bajoran service.
Is that character development, though?
Nog is pretty important, yes, but Data should have been on this list.
From an android to essentially being a new lifeform is... quite important. Especially when you die for your captain and come back.
Thanks for showing some love to The Doctor. I loved Robert Picardo’s depiction of him and how much he grew throughout Voyager’s run! I hope we see him again soon!
Doc was hands down the best character on the show
There is a big Worf shaped hole in this list. Just for the sheer number of appearances throughout the various series, he has been developed more than almost any other character. He went from token alien on the crew to snoozing on the bridge. He went through being disgraced for the good of the empire to killing the very man he helped put in power. He helped start then end a war. He befriended a couple of legends. He overcame his absolute direct approach to become a spy and later a mentor.
An entire video could be done to cover Worf's development.
Nearly the entire DS9 crew and ancillary characters could be counted on this list. Several of them had far greater growth than anyone we experienced in Trek to that point.
Maybe we can have a Part 2 of this list?
Agreed! Ben Sisko not being on this list is almost a crime. So happy Nog made it though.
Well... everybody except Keiko and Molly. They got screen time, but not development - significant distinction. Even Morn got some love, and he never said a word in seven seasons.
Literally as opposed to Voyager. The only two characters who changed at all made this list.
Seven is my favorite. I shed tears of joy when I saw her as captain of the Enterprise G.
This is a fantastic list. I cannot argue against any of the inclusions. Though someone excluded was Worf. He started off as a jr grade lieutenant and grew into a command role, Captain, and then whatever else he was up to after the Dominion War was over, then his exploits as an intelligence "contractor". One of my top 5 favorite characters in everything
I agree with you. How can he not be in the top 10? Some punk kid made it from one season of Prodigy?
Captain Nog, Ds9 documentary. Also a ship named after him in tge picatd finale i believe. RIP Aaron.
I still miss Aron. He was awesome and his Facebook posts were always humorous and insightful.
So glad to see Dr. Crusher getting more love. She is my favorite character from TNG; a brilliant doctor, a capable bridge officer, a reasoned mind for the crew--she is such a light to me and Admiral Crusher is such a badass! We stan her too, Ellie!!
On top of all that she still trips my trigger as a hottie!
Deanna Troi really evolved. She went from pretty much sitting there giving her impressions of aliens they encountered to being a full commander. The transformation begins in Disaster where she finds herself in command. Though it’s often joked about, she did successfully crash-land the saucer section in Generations.
I think every Star Trek series needs its own list of most to least character development. Love to see that.
They'd probably STILL miss Worf off of it!!
I definitely think that Seven was the most extreme, from childhood-assimilated Borg drone, reluctant to become "human" again, to now Captain of the next Enterprise, that's one hell of an arc...
now we need Bob Picardo back - on Seven's insistence that they use the Mark I EMH. (well on my wish list).
Pulaski's change from being just a Mccoy expy who was disrespectful to Data to someone who genuinely respects Data and a tad warmer to the crew (especially Worf whom she shared poisonous tea with).
Is Pulaski is a McCoy expy, can we agree that T'Ana is a Pulaski expy?
but she calls "Worf " Woof" and "Data" "dar-tah". (one is his name...the other is not).
Hearing Ellie saying "Number 10: The Doctor" that very iconic way made me think I was on the wrong channel, for a second.
I'm surprised Data and Odo didn't make the list!
There's almost enough characters to make a Part 2 list.
In 7 years, Nog only appeared 45 times. I learned that shortly after Aron Eisenberg passed. 45 times, out of 176 episodes. That's it. That's a hell of an impact for one character to make.
Jon de Lancie has entered the chat
Sisko was another one that had a big ark in star trek, and Paris, Janeway, there's so many to choose from
Don't forget Harry! /s
Sisko and Paris, definitely but Janeway was pretty consistent.
Just gonna snub Kira like that?
Can't beat Lore's development arc; he went from someone who didn't understand, and eventually to resent, why the colony were scared and hated him, feeling rejected by his father and becoming second fiddle to a younger brother, beamed and left drifting in space and becoming a cult leader to renegade Borg and from all that, and in the span of an episode, developed so much he essentially became Data!
Yes, lore had a good arc, but I got so tired of Data/Lore/Dr. Sungh stories I stopped watching the show. The reason I am angry is that at the end of the day we got to see our crew, but so little was spent on certain characters. It's over and nothing has really changed for certain beloved characters other than having their families and not getting divorced.
Sisko on "In the Pale Moonlight" anyone?
To be clear, Dr. Crusher was head of Starfleet Medial while Dr. Pulaski served as Chief Medical Officer of the Enterprise-D.
So this is the second time Dr. Crusher held the position, though she retained the rank of Commander the first time around.
What about Odo, Sisko, O'Brien, Archer, Rom and T'Pol?
Ethan Peck is outstanding. He's taking full advantage of the shoulders of giants he's standing on. Zachary quinto was by far the element JJ got the most right. Like somebody read the same books that I read and figured out what situations to show Spock handling difficulties.
Worf and Data... and O'BRIEN for God sake! We watched O'Brien go from the dude in the transporter room to heartbreaking torturous self loathing in DS9 so much so that he put a phaser to his head! He was a spy and a husband and a father and a friend and a warrior. He dealt with hatred and racism, honor and morality, pride and ego, pain and loss... and kept both the enterprise and DS9 from blowing up in his spare time.
O'BRIEN!
One of my favs too👍🖖
The Lower Decks crew have all gone through more character development in 30 episodes than Harry Kim did in 7 26 episode seasons of voyager.
We can basically exclusively blame the show runners for that. The actor campaigned constantly for anything for his character and they always said no.
😂😂😂 I love how Garrett talks about it on the delta flyers podcast. Poor harry.
Harry Kim is one of the coolest characters ever - I only wish they'd left him behind in the delta quadrant by accident so I could reflect on it
And more ranks! 😂😂😂😂
@@JohnnyWednesday Well they did. Remember the early episode where Voyager "timesplit" in 2 versions and the alternate Harry and Naomi came over from the other Voyager? In STO they made a poltline where original Harrys corpse was recovered by those guys that use corpses to inject there DNA and revive/transform them into a new member of there species. Giving us 2 Harrys. One Starfleet captain and one Alien Harry.
Tell my mother
I feel fine.
The most powerful line in the entire franchise.
Erm, Benjamin Sisko? Starts the show as Commander Sisko, a bitter widower and single parent. Ends the show as Captain Sisko, a blissfully happy married father of two, and the son of a wormhole alien. To be honest, you could do an entire video on DS9 character development. But it's unlikely that DS9 would ever get that level of respect.
Totally agree with you
Yay the Doc..voyager did become the seven, Janeway, doctor show. Doc was Def my fave character on voyager. Picardo did great. Bashir's development was great too
I came to talk about Archer and his development especially through the Xindi arc, even more prominent though was his chat with Hernandez about what Columbia would need when she gets out.
I don’t want to undercut this list because I agree with all ten, but judging by the comments I think we need another list haha!
I was sorry to see Shelby come down. I hated/loved her in Best of Both Worlds, much like the character of Liam Shaw. She was acknowledge at least, but so briefly. RIP Admiral Shelby.
Honorable mentions: Odo, Garek, Worf, Data
Worf? The character with the most screentime!!!
It's good you didn't go with Burnham since there was virtually zero actual development for that character. For Discovery, such as it is, I'd have gone with Saru as a character that was vastly developed in his time on the show. A fearful coward to a competent Captain that changed the direction of his whole race.
I don't think that I would call Saru a "fearful coward" as much as someone who leveraged his innate sense of danger to provide prudent counsel when someone was about to make what was likely an imprudent decision. He was no coward when it came to informing peers or senior officers that what they were about to do was foolhardy, even knowing they would balance his counsel with their own determinations ... only to discover that they really should have listed to him in hte first place.
@@Yarnballer this is true. I still think he had a fairly meaningful development overall.
I am so glad you guys made this video. This is a big problem that plagues a lot of ensemble shows today. From "The Flash" where the title character is all but completely overshadowed by the supporting cast to a shows Obi Wan where the supporting cast aren't developed much.
I would say Picard, Succession, Superman and Lois and Andor are all shows that ride the line between main and supporting cast very effectively.
This is why X-Men should be a TV show rather than a movie franchise, it needs the space to breathe life into all it's cast.
You know who else I would argue has had some extreme development? Q. In 'Encounter at Farpoint', he came off as little more than a sanctimonious alien judge with superpowers. But as TNG went on, he was developed in interesting ways, especially when the Q Continuum stripped away his powers and he had to rely on Picard's crew for his very survival. Then on Voyager, he was humbled and changed by the sacrifice of his fellow Q, eventually resulting in a civil war in the continuum with Q leading the charge for freedom and change. Having a son is a major development as well, although I do wonder why he never even mentioned him when he was supposedly dying. Speaking of which, I consider Q's involvement to be one of the few bright spots of Picard season 2. His desire to accomplish one final good deed for Picard -- perhaps the only person he's ever considered a friend -- was heartwarming. I'm a little dubious about him being brought back with little explanation after supposedly dying, but I would be very curious to see how he might be developed even further in a Picard spinoff series with Seven of Nine, Jack Crusher, and the rest.
Anson Mount is gorgeous.
The answer to this question is probably Spock, but I'd be curious to know which character in Star Trek has been played by the largest number of actors. For example, with Spock you've got child Spock, adult Spock from TOS/TNG, adult Spock from Kelvin, etc.. It would be fun to see a top 5 or top 10 list where we see different versions of these characters by the person who played them. There were, for example, at least 5 people who played Picard.
Beverly Crusher certainly had the most extreme facial development
I agree with the list. Great list btw…I definitely agree with the top 3 or 4 for sure. I kinda feel like Data had at least top 3 growth but I feel like he should at least be on the list 🤷♂️ (not a criticism btw I ❤you guys!)
No Dax? Her development from season 6 to 7 was significant!
Rom? He went from being his brothers toadie to a revolutionary spy and sabateur, to Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance!
hm....NOT including data is a big downer for me
"Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine grew tremendously throughout the 7 years of Star Trek Voyager." The character of Seven of Nine didn't join Voyager until it's fourth season. Remember Kes?
You know what would be nice? If they gave Nog a proper ending in Picard or another show in canon. Like Worf mentions Nog along the lines of “I knew a great warrior once, he was captain of an Intrepid ship. Under impossible odds, he saved 5000 strangers in a pirate attack. He proved that warriors come in many sizes……… Even the size of Ferengi.”
“For every Julian Bashire or Dal, there is always a Khan Noonian Singh waiting in the wings.”
-Admiral Zimmerman
Captain Liam Shaw: he quickly went from a character to dislike (or perhaps hate) to one that was respectable.
Idk who i would have taken off this list so as to include him. But Ida liked to have seen Kim on this. He went from being little more than just green and inexperienced in Caretaker to outright grim and driven in Timeless.
One thing you missed about Nog: by the 32nd century he had a ship named after him. This can only mean he eventually made admiral, since that's an honour typically reserved for flag officers exclusively.
Beverly Crusher became a badass to the point I kinda want to hear those stories
Pike seemed pretty comfortable with his Number One in "The Cage". At least it seems that way to me. He had every confidence in her being in command when he was off the ship, called her the most experienced officer to be in charge in case there was trouble.
I'm sure the TrekCulture writers are fully aware, but pretty much every character on DS9 qualifies for this. It'd be too easy to just focus on that series.
Of the list presented, I'm glad 7 of 9 was given a chance to escape the catsuit and allow Jeri Ryan to shine. She was great in Voyager regardless, but it's nice to just let her be a great character without the obligatory eye candy nonsense. Fingers crossed for a series about her adventures as Enterprise captain!
USS Nog also was named on one of the Starfleet ships on Picard when they showed the list of ships on the display. Quite an achievement! First Ferengi to enter Starfleet.
There's no way you could fit every character deserving of a top 10 slot. Heck, you could do ten of these and still not cover it. Great selection! BTW, Rom's character development is one that directly influenced the course of my own life so he'll always be first in my list of character development. Seeing him open himself up to what's possible, going against Ferengi society's expectations of what it meant to be a Ferengi and defying everyone's expectations in his pursuit to just be himself and do the right thing, he's the TV character that convinced me to come out as a gay teenager. He lived his best life. He accepted himself for who he was and not who he thought the world wanted him to be. And he thrived. Rom literally saved me.
I'm not sure if you'd say it was extreme development, but Reginald Barclay went from a reclusive neuro divergent character with a fear of transporters on TNG to a slightly more outspoken character in a few appearances on Voyager. On TNG he mostly tried to avoid counseling sessions with Troi to seeking her out for advice & help on Voyager.
And in thinking about him, it's a bit disappointing that he wasn't at least shown briefly the way that Shelby was in one of the episodes of Picard's final season. And she only ever appeared in Best of Both Worlds 1 & 2, while he appeared in 5 episodes of TNG.
The next Star Trek series should just be Barclay saying "See? Transporters are a terrible idea" for 10 episodes.
What about Harry Kim?? He went from Ensign on Voyager to...... wait.
LMBAO 😂😂
Ellie, I like watching your production's growth!!!
Thanks for the vid TC Team!
You should have made it 20 instead of 10, because there are as many omissions as inclusions, with compelling and/or silly arguments why (eg. Miles O'brian who went from crewman #6 to one of the most revered members of Starfleet with a monument in the far distant future) they should be included in the list. Worf, Kira, Garak, Sisko, Odo, Paris at least deserve mention.
I can’t imagine a list like this without Data
Really enjoyed this one - Trekculture is the greatest!
Some awful inclusions here and you're missing the likes of Garak and Dukat. Hell, even Rom deserves a mention.
I love that Crusher is your favorite character. I'm in school to become a mental health counselor so Troi is mine, lol.
As the other commenters noted, there HAS to be a part 2 to this!
1. Spock
2. Data
3. 7 of 9
4. Nog
5. The Doctor
6. Damar
7. Sisko
8. Odo
9. Worf
10. O'Brien
Seven got to Captain before Harry got to lieutenant in one season LOLOL
I think Chief O'Brian should have been on this list. Considering he started as a "walk on" red shirt, before he became the transporter Chief.
Garak, Sisko, O'Brien... Well shoot, pretty much all of DS9.
Correction: Dr Crusher was not on ALL seven seasons of TNG. She was replaced in Season 2 with Dr. Pulaski and Dr Crusher was head of Starfleet Medical instead.
She mentioned archival footage. Was there a flashback of some sort in that season?
@@mmg8823 This inclusion surprised me too because I was like "huh? What about Season 2 of TNG"? but then I went back and she said "Every SEASON". Although..... I'd say that I have see every episode of TNG at least a dozen times and all I can remember was the explanation for her absence in the first episode of Season #2. I don't remember her actually appearing in that season though.....even in a flashback or audio-only appearance. I'll have to check it out but can anybody specify which EPISODE it was in TNG that Dr. Crusher made the appearance?
What about Miles O'Brien - from unnamed crew member in S1 of TNG to "the most important person in the history of Starfleet" according to Lower Decks.
Also what about Worf?
I think the actor that played Bashir had the most growth. He was wooden and annoying in the first season and by the end of the seventh, an important character and a great actor.
Great list.
I'll be wishing for a new Star Trek show, starring Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, captain of Enterprise-G.
Some more info on Nog. He eventually rose to rank of captain. He did his job so well that they named a starship after him in the 32nd century. 0:03 .
0:03
Crusher was my favorite character in the Next Generation, so suffice to say that I was happy to see her evolve in Picard S3. I always saw her as a strong role model and sorta wish she had had more to do I. The past. This season was great for her. (And seeing Gates' hair now, is making me think about no longer dying my hair. 😂)
The whole top 10 could be filled with just characters from DS9.
You didn't include data he literally went from an emotionless android to an emotional human being
Rom as well had quite a development. He went from "My brother is an idiot" to help setting up a field of clocked self replicating mine field to protect the wormhole.
Don't forget Rom's sweet relationship with Leeta. And then he became Grand Nagus!
So, you tried to sneak in another video while I'm watching the WhoCukture one. I'm on to you.
What's that? This one came out first?
Oh....
Nevermind....
Anyway, there were a few entries I didn't know, having not yet watched their respective shows (there's SO much to watch, and I'm only half-way through my rewatch of TNG). But seeing this made me want to watch them, so nice job there.
Also, if you (Ellie) hadn't come in to mention Seven's new post, I was going to, and in fact am now. Can we all say it together?
Seven of Nine is CAPTAIN of the ENTERPRISE. I've been saying that a lot, and it doesn't get old.
Good video. Now I gotta get back to work.
P.S. For those saying "You missed so-and-so", no they didn't. It's a list of TEN. If you just make suggestions, there might be another list later. But "missed" sounds a tad aggressive.
Beverly is head of Starfleet Medical _again_ ! That was the reason given for why she was gone from the Enterprise-D for season 2. :)
PS. I still want to know what she's been trying to tell Picard for 35 years, lol
Again, thank you for course correcting Admiral Crusher, Starfleet Medical; you gave the character the end point she deserved. Having said this, a Crusher Starfleet Medical spinoff is definitely a marketable product with a builtin audience. Please.
Data. For crying out loud, how is Data not on this list?! Look, I love Spock as much as anyone, but Data’s journey makes Spock’s look like a walk in the park. He grew from emotionless naive Android, to be a competent commander, make friends, learn to dream, decipher emotions, battle between his loyalty and his family, gain rights as a sentient being, be tempted by the Borg, learn from a child, sacrifice himself, learn to die well, come back, merge with his near family, have a daughter and finally become HUMAN, his ultimate goal.
That’s development people.
Also Gul Dukat.
Garak?
His development was actually furthered by the actor. Andrew Robinson had a bible for the character that he used to inform every scene in which he performed.
Sean’s actually writing things you didn’t know about Garak at the moment.
i really hope they do another series following the enterprise g. people have been more vocal about this than captain pike and that got a series. they'd be fools not to follow the show since it's exactly what people were looking for.
Missed? Well there are Odo, Data, Kira, Sisko, Geordi, Dukat, Ro, Worf, Tom Paris, Picard, Torres and even Neelix.
May I suggest Lwaxanna Troi?🤔
@@susanscott8653 Well, I guess you could argue for her. She didn't change her overall personality, but her character became deeper and more layered.
Oh, btw, if you had done the top 11, it should include Janeway.
The biggest changes to Crushers character were whatever she did to her face unfortunately
The most reverse-development character was Worf's poker-playing.
After the sole win in "The Emissary," Worf's poker skill was a consistent laughing stock. I'm looking at you Data.
Tom Paris is a great development as well. I love where he started to where he ended.
This needs a part 2, Worf, Data, Sisko...
Archer, Kirk, Odo, Rom, T'Pol, Shran,Worf, etc.
