Jae Onasi Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 So--who's your favorite Star Trek bartender--come on, we all know you have a favorite. Will it be Star Trek's, uh, well, Scotty took out the bar for more power, so no bartender there. Or maybe Guinan in TNG? Who can forget her amazing hats? Could it be Quark with his bling outfits (and inspiration for Mik'oth?) Perhaps you prefer self-appointed "Morale Officer" Neelix from Voyager. Then there's Enterprise--wait--they don't believe in bars on that ship, so no bartender there, either. I expect Serious Discussion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I voted fer Scotty! He could make a drink out of Warp plasma if they gave him a chance to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endorenna Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 C'mon! Quark! I just watched The Magnificent Ferengi, HOW COULD I CHOOSE ANYBODY ELSE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Of course, Guinan stabbed Q with a fork...nah, I have to go with bling-blender! PS: I think I've started a Trekkie trend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Quark, even though I didn't care that much for DS9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Neelix got a dance step out of a Vulcan. He wins. End of thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron 7 locke Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Quark is the second favorite for me. the way he goes after what he wants...it's very inspiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Guinan. I'm sorry, but Whoopi overrides everyone else by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trex Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Has to be Quark. He's like the family friendly version of Al Swearengen from Deadwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Quark was funny in the context of the show, but Id rather hang out with Whoopi and her big hat anyday. She seemed a very good listener, plus she had that hamster attack pose thang when she saw Q. [/wishes he had screenshot] Flox took on the role of agony aunt in Enterprise and was good at it IMO. Doctors are a professionally trained and inclined to listen and keep confidences. Most bartenders Ive met are either hairy, large breasted, or both mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I thought Guinan was often a more dramatic character than Quark. She had parts in episodes where the character took on a very serious tone (I, Borg in particular), but in others was a source of good humour (Rascals). Quark mainly seemed to provide comic relief with the obligatory 'Ferengi episode' almost every season. They were good, mind you. And Quark had the whole rivalry with Odo, which was always entertaining! And he was serious on occasion - thinking of The Siege of AR-558. Anyway, for me it comes to a very close contest between Guinan and Quark. Guinan seeed to be, as I mentioned, the more 'dramatic' character, but Quark had more screen time...hmmm... I voted for Quark in the end. The hilarity of the Ferengi episodes coupled with the performance of Armin Shimmerman did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I voted Guinan, I don’t trust Quark. He probably waters down the liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aash Li Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Quark was by far the best Bartender. Ever. Hes the epitome of a shady barkeep youd expect to find in frontier space station! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Scotty! He saved the crew from complete and utter drunkeness! Though, it would've been nice sometimes had he not destroyed the bar....in a way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adavardes Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Guinan, no doubt. The character was awesomely mysterious and powerful, with some wonderful dynamics with Picard. Also, two words: Whoopi. Golberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanius Anglesmith Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm going to have to go with the TNG character again. Scotty and Quark (even though I never really watched much DS9) are funny, but I've always thought Guinan had better parts in the episodes she was in. She seemed a very good listener, plus she had that hamster attack pose thang when she saw Q. [/wishes he had screenshot] You mean this pose?

Astrotoy7 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You mean this pose? nope - it was when she first saw him - didnt look happy at all Wow. she does look like a hamster on the attack in that pose We must be looking at a different pic then?

Darth_Yuthura Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Quark, but only because he is great with the other characters. It was great how he and Odo were always at odds with the other. He was not an admirable character, but he had a line that he would never cross, but other Ferengi would without batting an eye. He developed over the years, which improved the character and gave him more depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aash Li Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 No kidding! I totally didnt realize that you had different opinions! Wow... ...yeah I get that. Im just not seeing why you guys like her character. Saying "we love her" doesnt tell me anything except blind fanboying. >.> Dont get me wrong, Im not bashing you guys or anything. Im just curious.
