Which character do/did you have a crush on?

This is supposed to be a fun topic.

So, my number one crush is definite Kira (DS9).
I love the way she looks and her direct and rebellious character. Plus Nana Visitor is a great person.
Others I want to mention...
Lt Uhura (TOS) truly beautiful and charming but unfortunately we never got the chance to get to know her better. Anyway, Nichelle Nichols is a legend.
B'Elanna Torres (VOY) I feel attracted and fascinated by her, could be because she is half Klingon and half human ;)
T'Pol (ENT) Probably the best looking Vulcan ;)
Seven Of Nine (VOY, PIC) I know she is the kind of woman many men find attractive but since I watched some interviews and videos about Jery Ryan I know she is a woman with great attitude and opinion, too.
Well, obviously it's not jut about the characters but about he actors as well ;)
I'm male and hetero but was thinking about the male characters as well.
If I was feamle I probably would find Spock very interesting and fascinating. And I would Kirk find sexy I guess.
Obviously many women think Picard is attractive but I think I would prefer Sisko ;)
Well, I think that's enough about my opinion, so now it's your turn... ;)

Kira for me too.

I really liked Tasha Yar - she was pretty much the reason I kept watching TNG. I was so disappointed when she was killed, stopped watching TNG and only came back to it later. I did not like Sela.
 
Ohh, that’s an interesting one. I’m somewhat bisexual so I have much wider range of choice than most ha.

Kirk was always a bit of a crush. His confidence and charisma in TOS is undeniable and Shatner was a handsome guy in his prime. Had an even bigger crush on Chris Pine’s Kirk mind you.

I also had a little thing for Yeoman Rand and find Uhura incredibly beautiful.

With TNG, I had a bit of crush on Yar to begin with, and Riker too. I actually kind of prefer him without the beard, although he does suit it. Troi had an incredible glow-up after season one and by the second season I realised how beautiful Marina Sirtis is. She looked greatest in season four to five I think (once they’d invested in some better wigs for her).

Jadzia is one of my biggest Trek crushes. She’s not only stunning but Terry Farrell plays her with such confidence, charisma and fun. One of my all-time favourite characters and I’m still salty she was unceremoniously booted off at the end of the sixth season.

Kira is also incredibly beautiful and attractive. Although I didn’t like the look they gave her in season four and her costume went too far into catsuit territory (thanks for that, Berman).

I also had a crush on Bashir in the earlier seasons. He could be annoying yet I found his fresh faced, youthful naïveté and arrogance charming. Sid is a good-looking guy too.

I also found Sisko attractive; once Brooks settled into the role, he just had SUCH an incredible intensity and magnetism.

Voyager is interesting. Tom Paris was my first Voyager crush, although I kind of lost interest when his character never really went anywhere that interesting (a flaw affecting much of that show’s cast).

Seven is obviously incredibly good looking, but her styling was always just too “in your face” for me. It looked like Trek was presenting us the Kardashian “beauty aesthetic” a good decade before that family unfortunately took root in pop culture. I actually found Seven most attractive when she was out of those boob-suits and wearing civvies or a Starfleet uniform on rare occasion. Of the women on the show, I actually preferred B’Elanna for his sass and zest; it’s amazing how Roxann Dawson managed to look beautiful even beneath those Klingon prosthetics. Quite a feat.

Was never a big Enterprise fan and didn’t really rate the characters (fault of the writing not the cast). I do have fond memories of Trip running around the ship in his underwear. Aside from that, they tried too hard on this show to make it SEXY but I just found it embarrassing truth be told.

Crushes on Discovery? Ash in season one. Lorca for his badassery. Michael once she got her long hair (which really brings out her incredible beauty). Book is also hot. Beautiful couple, one of my favourites in the franchise

Picard seasons 1-2 had a very attractive cast. Rios, yes please. And Harry Treadaway’s Romulan (can’t remember his name). I also found Jeri Ryan so much more attractive now than when she was on Voyager. She looks stunning when she’s actually allowed to wear clothes that don’t look like they were designed by a horny 14 year old boy.

SNW has an incredibly attractive cast. My favourite is Ethan Peck’s Spock, plus Pike, Una and La’an. Oh, and Chapel and Kirk too. Spoilt for choice.

Can’t believe how much time I’ve spend thinking this one over. I’m procrastinating from actually doing work!
 
Doc Crusher showing up on the Klingon viewscreen in "Generations" or looking foxy as heck in "All Good Things" macking on Picard. I was never into the form fitting catsuits of Trek. My crushes were Shane Vansen from "Space Above and Beyond" and Susan Ivanova from "Babylon 5."
 
Kathryn Janeway (Voyager)
Chakotay (Voyager)

Deanna Troi (TNG)

Christine Chapel (SNW)
Kirk ( SNW)
Spock ( SNW)

Admiral Charles Vance ( Discovery)
Micheal Burnham ( Discovery )
Ash Tyler (Discovery)
 
Tasha Yar. I was into blondes with short bobs back then. I think if Denise Crosby hadn't left during Season 1, they would have done a lot more with Yar as TNG was still kind of a work in progress at the time and the writers were still figuring out what to do with all the characters, IMO.
 
B'Elanna Torres

She never gets mentioned but she had a great arc in Voyager, discovering who she was and the culmination of getting on the same page with her Mother and then she and Tom being in a relationship, which was realistically portrayed. I love Seven and how that character broke through all the sex appeal, but B'Elanna was a great character in her own right.
 
Going by pure physical attraction...

From this franchise...
Dr. Helen Noel
Andrea from "WHAT ARE LITTLE GIRLS MADE OF?"
Deanna Troi
Jadzia Dax
Hoshi Sato


From others...
Aeryn Sun (FARSCAPE)
Captain Elizabeth Lochley (BABYLON 5... frankly, Tracy Scoggins in any role)
Inara Serra (FIREFLY)
Diana (V)


Dark hair is clearly a winner for me. :beer:



Now that was the body part of me. Here comes the mind portion...

From this franchise...
Lt. Uhura - in charge of one the most important elements of starship functions (of that era, for sure), and she usually kept her cool. I do wish she was given more to do, though.

Kira Nerys - possibly the greatest female character in the franchise, portrayed by an excellent actress. She had a fiery spirit and did not take bs from anyone. You definitely want her on your side.

Seven of Nine - incredible character, portrayed by an outstanding actress. Her journey was a true highlight of VOY.


From others...
Samantha Carter (STARGATE) - brilliant in science and a great tactician. You always want to bring her along on any mission... you're virtually guaranteed success when she's on your team.

Susan Ivanova (BABYLON 5) - honorable, loyal, great strategist, and incredibly perceptive and knowledgable.

Delenn (BABYLON 5) - strong convictions, fiercely loyal, and never shows fear when she makes a decision. The best 'here comes the cavalry' line of dialogue I have ever heard was spoken by her in "SEVERED DREAMS". ("Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!")

Aeryn Sun (FARSCAPE) - superb character, portrayed brilliantly by Claudia Black. Fearless, loyal, never backed down, and never afraid to get her hands dirty to get the job done. Her journey from the beginning to the end of the show was phenomenal.
 
My very first Trek crush was Riker. (Shocking, maybe.) For three or four episodes, then I noticed that he's the guy who sleeps around all the time and I dropped him from my crush list immediately. NOT my type.

After that it was the EMH for a while because he looked a lot like the boyfriend I had at the time. (Hey, I was 18, I didn't want to settle on just one guy for too long just yet. At least that was the original plan.) But then I suddenly noticed that smol bald grumpy lovable dork in the captain's chair of the Enterprise-D and E. And here we are, 20 years later.

I do also have a small crush on Anson Mount's Pike although I mean COME ON. Look at the man. Wow. Just wow. I watched Disco's second season just for him.
 
Kira. Not so much in the catsuit, but singing "Fever" in DS9 "His Way". Straightforward - whether she's happy or unhappy she'll let you know.

Lenara Kahn in DS9 "Rejoined"

Helen Noel in TOS "Dagger of the Mind" - at least she did something concrete to help, not just sit around waiting for Kirk or someone to come along and rescue her

Larell in DS9 "Who Mourns for Mourn?"

Andrea in TOS "What Are Little Girls Made of?" - even though I had trouble understanding the character's motivation.
