Star Trek’s 100 Most Important Crew Members, Ranked #SciFiSunday
We all have our own opinions about this but check out WIRED‘s ranking of Star Trek’s crew members.
This week, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek TV series. To do so, we thought it might be a good time to rank all of the Star Trek crew members. Before we do, a few stipulations:
1: Only Starfleet personnel and related enlisted crews have been considered for placement on this list. (Which means that characters such as Quark, Morn, or, let’s be honest, half of Deep Space Nine are absent.) Placement on the list is the result of long consideration of characters’ service to Starfleet and/or Starfleet-related causes as shown or implied during their appearances, with one exception that shall not be discussed further. (Good luck figuring out which one is placed specifically due to personal bias.)
