my LEAST favorite character....

i can't stand Troi. I'm sure Sirtis is a nice person and it's not her fault her character sucks, but good lord...I've been a fan of the show since I was seven years old, and as a kid I didn't have such a tremendous distate for her...but watching her in the show now totally ruins it for me. Why does the counselor need to be on the bridge anyway? Only to make obvious statements when dealing with alien species...One would think that competent officers like Picard and Riker could make such inferences on their own...And what's with her refusal to wear a Starfleet uniform for the first six seasons? I'm probably misquoting, but I love Q's line in "All Good Things..." when he says something to the effect of "and Troi, constantly spouting meaningless psycho-babble..."
