if i had been born with a proper wetware maths module, i could identity with scottie the engineer [TOS] in his devotion to his ship.

Data

I think Kirk (in my mind!) Shatner is cool, 'Kingdom Of Spiders' anyone? Very strongly associate with Spock.
One episode in particular springs to mind, "This Side of Paradise", the one with the pods plant things.
Seeing Spock free from his emotional suppression, burden lifted.. and then having to revert back..
Stirs something up inside I can't quite figure out or get my head around..
Ha, TOS only for me, nice, tidy format, oozes charm. 'The Prisoner' is another series I feel to have a similar vibe, an you can't mess with McGoohan!
Feel free to talk me 'round to the virtues of the following series' of course!

It's odd, I used to identify most with Data for well, obvious reasons. Spock before I saw any of TNG. I switched from Spock to Data once I watched TNG, Spock didn't seem to have quite that searching nature that I could relate to in Data. Spock always seemed very comfortable with just his logic, while Data was always seeking to understand this emotional world the humans around him lived in.

As I've gotten older though I have started to realize I emphasis with Picard more in many ways. Except I'm always astonished whenever someone honestly is dumb enough to follow me on anything (seriously, you should only need to know me a couple of weeks to realize I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, I'm just winging it as best I can) and he doesn't seem to have that problem. Well except that one episode where he got mindlinked with Crusher and she called him out on not having any idea where he was going. But his interests are more similar to mine, a very classical taste bent towards history, old books and philosophy. He's reserved but still certainly has emotions and does struggle with them, but does not like to - what I would call flaunt them and NTs would call share.

Good points all, and well said. I'm still going with Spock. Yes, I think it's a generational thing and I have been called Ms. Spock.
While he is well aware that everyone else makes their decisions on an emotional basis, he strives not to.

TOS: Nurse Chapel. She pines away for Spock but he can't give her what she needs. I can relate.

TNG: Barclay. I would totally be that guy if I had that job. This would be my "one" pick.

DS9: I identify with both Nog and Jake Cisco. Neither one is who they are supposed to be, but they try. I can identify a little bit with Gul Dukat too, as scary as that sounds. This was my favorite Star Trek series.

Voyager: 7 of 9. She's human but she has trouble showing it.

Enterprise: Malcom Reed. Very focused on his job, too focused.

This one....not Spock...the androids. Been there, done that...multiple times.

Gotta be Data.

I am Vulcan, assimilated later by Borg. Resistance is futile!

To be honest, I have the most common with Spock.
My favourite character is Data (:heart:), we would talk a lot about our fascination in Humans. I want to be a machine like him (see my av).
I'm spontaneous and playful like Odo, but he's much better in reading body language.

See if the question was which character do you wish you could be like I'd go for Troi. I mean being able to just sense what others are feeling with no effort or complicated guesswork? That would be like half my problems solved instantly.

i identify with the ship's computer [TOS]
