going to be a while before we see it

[Chris]

Yes, it will be. We'll have to remind ourselves that patience is supposed to be a virtue.

[Chris]

yeah, shows have to get creative with camera angles to hide real life pregnancies that aren't part of a character's storyline

[crazy_diamond]

sure do

[Chris]

It must keep the writers and camera people on their toes thinking of creative ways to conceal a pregnancy,

[crazy_diamond]

definitely..

[Chris]

The actresses can't help it if they want to get their family started.

[crazy_diamond]

exactly..

[Chris]

It just gets harder to hide a pregnancy as it progresses. Good thing there are some creative options so the character doesn't get totally written out.

I wonder if people would like to list their favorite Star Trek characters. I'd like to present mine. I'm talking about cast regulars here, because the list gets too big if you list non-regulars. There are many regular characters in Star Trek that I like, but I can narrow it down to a list of top favorites.

Here's mine:
First, Nimoy Spock, the best character in Trek.
And then: Shatner Kirk. Data, Sisko, Kira Nerys, Quark, Odo, Picard.
(All my top favorites come out of TOS, TNG and DS9, my favorite Trek shows.)

One can also list one's favorite characters from each Trek show or series of movies. These characters won't necessarily all be on one's list of favorite characters from Trek overall, but they are the ones that matter most to you in each show.

Mine for that:
TOS: Nimoy Spock, Shatner Kirk, Kelley's McCoy
TNG: Data, Picard
DS9: Sisko, Kira Nerys, Quark, Odo, Jadzia Dax, O'Brien
Voyager: Kim, Janeway
Enterprise: Trip Tucker, Hoshi Sato, Archer
Kelvin Timeline: Pine Kirk
Discovery (I've only seen the first season): Saru, Burnham
Picard (I've only seen the first season): Picard, Rios, Raffi
I haven't seen any of Strange New Worlds yet and I don't watch animated shows.

I'd go for each series

TOS: McCoy, Spock, Kirk
TNG: Picard, Beverly, Riker
DS9: Odo, Kira, O'Brien
VOY: Janeway, The Doctor, Paris

DIS: Tilly, Reno, Saru
SNW: Ortegas, Pike, Hemmer

[Chris]

My top three for each series would be:

TOS: Kirk, Spock, McCoy
TNG: Picard, Data, Geordie
DS9: Odo, Kira, Jadzia
VOY: Janeway, B'Elanna, Paris
ENT: Archer, Tucker, Phlox
DIS: Tilly, Saru, Reno
PIC: Picard, Seven, Laris
SNW: Pike, Ortegas, Hemmer

I 've tried Lower Decks and Prodigy, but didn't get past the first episode for either show.

Seems we share a lot of favourities.

[Chris]
