    Winn was always intended to be a character the auidence hated. The character I despised on that series was Ezri Dax.

    I think I would, I couldn't stand him throughout the series. You're right though, Winn was far from being the best DS9 character

    winn (or more to the point the actress) did her job perfectly. you're meant to hate her. not in a love/hate way like dukat. with winn you are just meant to hate her. so i disagree with her being the worst character.

    most hated then yes, she wins by a mile.

    i agree that ezri was a weak character and was a poor substitute for jadzia.

    Gonna have to go with Ezri, too. I wanted to like her, but she just seemed to be a weak character with little direction and a little whiny.

    Garak said it best about Ezri;

    'Look at you. You're pathetic! A confused child, trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You're not worthy of the name 'Dax'. I knew Jadzia. She was vital, alive, she owned herself; and you - you don't even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me? You can't even help yourself! - Now get out of here, before I say something unkind.'

    Urgh. I couldn't stand Sisko (more accurately Avery Brooks); his acting never failed to be completely OTT.

    I thought the Erzi character was wonderfully done. She was supposed to possibly remind you of Jadzia at face value, although once you take a look beneath the surface it revealed the host plays a large part in what kind of person the joining results in.

    Another Jadzia would have been boring.

    Ezri Dax was unbelieveably awesome.

    Vic Fontaine was far and away the worst and most annoying recurring character in DS9.

    No actor/actress on Star Trek has or will ever hold a candle to Shatner when it comes to over the top acting. It's what made him great. :D

    Im for Ezri being the worst. Winn was acted perfectly.


    I feel Sisko was the best CO ever in a ST series.

    I liked Ezri a lot. Oh well.

    Anyone in the Ferengi clique aside from Quark (or maybe Nog, once the wartime pathos set in) can pretty much go die in a fire. Rom in particular was pretty awful.

    I liked Ezri, she was one of my favorites.

    And my least favorite would have to be Vedik Winn, shes the character I love to hate!

    Hands down Jake Sisko. served no purpose.

    I didn't mind Ezri. . . She was cute and a bit shy, which happens to be a favored character type for me.

    The problem is she was a replacement to Jadzia who was the sex-symbol of DS9 and you just can't replace that type of character with a cute and shy type like Ezri without backlash.


    Jake did serve a purpose on the series. It just wasn't a purpose that had much of anything to do with the overall story.

    All characters on a TV show have a purpose. In the case of Jake Sisko it was to try and draw a teen audience by giving them a character they might be able to identify with, but he offered no real addition to the story. It was the same case with Wesley, but the big difference is that they set him up as a savior in TNG who could solve problems that not even the experienced adults could, which of course rubbed the adult audience the wrong way.

    I'm so glad they killed that formula of inserting a teenage character in the series after DS9.

    That being said. . . My least favorite character of DS9 is definitely Jake.

    That was the sixties when people didn't know any better. Brooks just couldn't act. He also did that irritating singing voice when he was angry or frustrated.

    Early in the series, Rom was pretty bad. But later his character got improved to the point that he became awesome...

    Kira had moments of awesome.. but honestly I didn't enjoy her that much..

    Ezri Dax I'd say I hated the most, and gets my Vote as "worst DS9 Character"

    I was never very fond of Jadzia Dax, she often seemed fake / poorly acted to me and something of a drama queen. I thought Ezri was a better Dax than her as far as acting and seeming like a real person in the show.

    Biggest problem with Ezri I thought was that she was literally shoehorned into the last season. That left practically no time to develop her character beyond this California Valley Cloudcoocoolander.

    As for Jadzia being a sex symbol - meh, I prefered Major Kira.

    I'm going to expand a bit more since I have more time.

    Keira - Always seem to me to be a poor mans version of Ensign Ro. I know it was SUPPOSED to be Ro, but Forbes turned it down because she feels she is better then trek. I know it's probably me, and that I read into it too much.

    Jake - yes he was there for the teen audience, it just got annoying when he became an adult and the whole "I'm a writer junk." Did he really get that good an education from Keiko?

    Keiko - Always annoyed me, even on TNG. Maybe it was her acting, but she was always knowing better then anyone else it seems. I was so glad when they shipped the O'Brien family back to earth. Actually I was glad when the whole TNG era stopped with the families on ships thing. I know the logic, but it really did not make sense for a military to have families on all ships.

    Ferengi's in general have always been annoying. Thats why they dropped them as the main baddies in TNG. They just can't be taken seriously and were the clowns of Star Trek. Well except Nog, who actually turned out to be a pretty good character by the end.

    Ezri - I didn't mind her, I just think she was forced on us, and there was no time to build her character properly. 1st season is rough for any character, and to build relationships takes at least 1 season. Look at them trying to force seven and chakotay together at the last minute, it just does not work.

    VIC! I hated Vic. I don't watch Star Trek to watch some 1962 Las Vegas singer. I hated him more than anything.

    Personally, I didn't mind the replacement aspect that much, though I preferred Jadzia as a character. With all the competition to be a host, her character struck me more as the type who would go through it, determined.

    My main problem with Ezri though isn't with Ezri, but with the writers. The writers seemed to go "oh, something new to write about" and focused a large percentage of episodes on her. Now, obviously, some issues, like dealing with Worf, needed to be resolved, but it just felt like too much, every other week an Ezri episode.
    That being said. . . My least favorite character of DS9 is definitely Jake.

    Think that would hold true for most people.

    All of the Bajorans ever. But if I have to pick one, I'll go with Wynn because she sums up everything that I hate about them as a species.

    Anything involving the Emissary plotline I didn't like. I'm not a fan of hokey religions and ancient weapons.

    For me it was Bashir, the only thing i liked about him was that he hung around the bastion of pure awesome Miles O'Brien.
