Man, but I'm being talkative today! Ah, well, come and see my dirty secrets!
FAVOURITE THINGS:
Star Trek Series: Original series
Star Trek Movie: don't particularly like them. TMP was beautiful but lacked an intelligent plot, and all the others were too militant for my taste. Reminder: ST movies ended for me with the TOS movies. The TNG movies were... well... crap.
Star Trek Character: Uhura, Dr. McCoy, Scotty, Sisko, Chakotay (the one he could have been), Sulu, Chekov, Data, Jadzia Dax, Number One (from the TOS pilot - she might not have a name but she rocked!), Picard (before he became a sticker-to-idiot-rules)
Star Trek Pairing: erm... don't shoot me, but I'm a sucker for really bad, sappy Chakotay-Paris stories.
Alien Race: Bajorans
Alien World: Bajor and Romulus, as it appears in Diane Duane's novels
Federation Class Starship: TMP Enterprise. It was a thing of beauty.
TOS Episode: "For the World is Hollow and I've Touched the Sky". I still cry sometimes watching that one.
TNG Episode: "Lower Decks" I liked the junior officers and that they, too, get their episode - besides, it prepared the viewer for the final tragedy of Sito.
DS9 Episode: "Rapture". I'm a sucker for Bajoran mysticism - hey, I even wrote texts for Bajoran mysticism, plus Sisko-as-a-father was, once again, very touching in this one.
VOY Episode: "Tattoo". It wasn't a grand one, but if focused on my beloved Chakotay. Yes, I'm shallow that way.
ENT Episode: Gave up on it after a few painful episodes
Star Trek Quote: Any one by McCoy, starting with "I'm a doctor, not a..." [insert profession of your choice; he's said it]
LEAST FAVOURITE THINGS:
Star Trek Series: Enterprise - I hate the canon rape!
Star Trek Character: Kirk. Janeway is second and Riker is third. I don't particularly like any of the Crushers, either.
Star Trek Pairing: Kirk/Spock. No. Just no. Or should I say Hell, no!?
Alien Race: Talaxians in general and Neelix in particular
Alien World: several TOS worlds that happened to look just like Earth. I know it was a budget problem, but still... Yeah, I'm petty.
Federation Class Starship: The ones in the 6th movie that seemed to go suddenly at least a hundred years back technically, putting a kitchen onboard and sending junior officers to shared dormitories.
TNG Episode: Any one where Wesley saves the day while adults are standing around like idiots. But before all else "Preemptive Strike" - it made me hate Picard.
DS9 Episode: The one where Kira and Odo became lovers. That one ruined the whole rest of the show for me.
VOY Episode: "Equinox", where Janeway went out of her way to destroy a fellow abducted Starfleet ship, no matter what they've done. Or "30 days", where he put Paris into the brig for something everyone else would gotten away with.
Star Trek Quote: I don't really have one
CHOICES:
Trekkie or Trekker? Trekkie
Kirk or Picard? Picard
Defiant or Delta Flyer? Defiant
Tribbles or Targs? Tribbles
Coffee, Black or Tea, Earl Grey? Raktajino
Porthos or Spot? Spot
EMH or Data? Data
Pah-wraiths or Prophets? Neither. They were both self-centered idiots.
TNG or DS9? DS9. Definitely. Despite the Kira/Odo "romance", despite the fact that Sisko became obsessed with destroying Eddignton, despite the idiocy of making Sisko a Prophet, just so that they didn't have to allow a Starfleet officer to become a religious leader in the long run.

One of the threads in DS9 I most loved was the Bajoran history/religion. I wished they'd shown more; it seemed to get a bit sidelined in later seasons.
