How Comfortable I Am Calling Various Trek Characters By Their First Name:

How comfortable I am calling various Trek characters by their first name:

Kirk- I could, but I choose not to. Spock- ...schetigger, no wait, skantai, no, that's not it either... McCoy- His first name is "Bones", right?

Picard- Oh god. Riker- If he said "You can call me William :)" I would. But not before then. Crusher- I dunno. It would seem a little too informal. LaForge- Yeah totally. Data- ...does he have one? Worf- Actually not sure what kind of name "Worf" is. Troi- After I got to know her.

Sisko- Yeah he'd be cool with it. Kira- Ah. Uh. No. That would be presumptuous. Dax- You kind of have to so people know who you're talking about. Bashir- I full-name him a lot. O'Brien- Kilometers O'Brien. Odo- ??? Quark- "Mr. Quark" pfft no. Garak- Pretty sure he literally thinks of "Elim" as a different person. Dukat- Genuinely thought "Gul" was his name for a while.

honestly. kai winn. the whole bareil business of torturing that man and forcing him to stay alive to do politics is a bad ass villain thing to do and i love how evil it was like it was . dukat could never have even thougtht of that. if winn wanted to keep me alive with the torture devide and the sinister surgery iw ould THANK HER> i like bareil as mch as the rest of us but was he really missed? was it worth it for a splendid evil woman episode? yeah

dukat took her mother, stole the place of a father in her life and ate it, and kira denied him the role of father-suitor when he demanded it of her--

and kira then stole his place as ziyal's father, giving ziyal space and resources and support that directly mirrors what ben provides for jake.

kira is a daughter who becomes a father. in this essay i will
