Who's the best/your favorite Trek Doctor?

[nowvoyager908]

Thanks, Mods!

My vote goes to: Dr Leonard "He's dead, Jim." McCoy.

I'm with you on McCoy. My favorite was always, "I'm a doctor, not a (fill in the blank)".

Actually the only doctor I didn't particularly like was Pulaski. Especially since she kept referring to poor Data as "it". Grrrrr! His feelings weren't hurt, but mine were. LOL.

[Daniel Jackson]

Oh come on, Polaski? Well, if you insist;-) See, I changed it.

Yes, I insist, because she was there for a full season. Thanks!

It's a tie between Crusher and Phlox, but I voted for Crusher. Of all the doctors, she seemed the most real to me.

[Rosehawk]

Wow, this was tough.

I like all of the doctors except for Polaski and I am not sure why because I like the actress alot!

I went for McCoy but I really loved Beverly and Phlox. I didn't like Julian in the begining but really liked him as his character grew. It also took me awhile to warm up to the doctor in Voyager.

Just and FYI to folks. An original thread was found so it was merged into this one. The poll still stands

[MB.Eddie]

My Favourites:

DS9: Julian Bashir
ENT: Phlox
VOY: The Doctor
TNG: Beverly Crusher (Seasons 1, 3-7)
TOS: Leonard "Bones" McCoy
TNG: Beverly Crusher (Seasons 1, 3-7)

However, out of all of them, i think Phlox is the best doc. Uses all his little tricks and creatures, where else the others rely to heavily on fancy technology in the future.

Phlox's medical bay was easily the best. I loved all his little creatures. His practise of medicine was easily the most fun to watch simpley because it wasn't a reliance on the technology.

Really tough choice deciding between him and The Doctor.

Fair enough. I also liked Phlox's style, but I'd give old "Bones" McCoy his dues; he also wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He cured that Lava creature with some good old fashioned bricklaying techniques.

Now that was one of the best Doctor moments in Star Trek.

'I'm a Doctor, not a bricklayer!"




Edit: though actually, if we compare the way Phlox and McCoy treat Tribbles, McCoy wins easily. When Phlox feeds that Tribble to that squeaky creature thing.....*sniff*

[panikin]

ah! Between Bones, Bashir and the Doctor... whos better?

Bones - just plain awesome
Bashir - genetically enhanced and gorgeous
The Doctor - can sing OPERAS

...this one just might keep me up all night

For me it's a tie between the EMH and Bones.

I mean...Bones is, well, BONES! He's the reason I loved the original series...him, Kirk and Spock and their magical chemistry.

But the EMH? He perfected the sardonic doc persona to a science.

"I'm a doctor, not a battery."

I stood up at the beginning of one of the most recent Star Trek movies (First Contact, I think) and announced,

"Hi, my name is Brenda and I am a Star Trek fan. My favorite characters are McCoy, Crusher and that dreamy Bashir. However, no hologram is going to operate on me." I sat back down, and everybody applauded.

...but I love Robert Picardo. And Phlox.

[monkey_man132]

Phlox is the best!

While DS9 is my favorite series, I think the Holo-doc from Voyager is the best doctor simply because he is the most interesting IMO.

All the other doctors are normal living flesh-and-blood beings, where as the Doctor is something different, unique.

And of all the doctors in trek, his character underwent the most growth during his series run.

We watched him evolve from a medical tool to a full fledged sentient being.
