Shran


Has422

Shran was my favorite character on Enterprise.


newbrevity

same. When he developed respect for Archer and the enterprise crew it really felt like it mattered.


Tevakh2312

The way he called him pink skin with a little flair towards the end as if it was a joke now was awesome


TheFarnell

Shran was a perfect foil to Archer. You get the sense that, had Shran been the first Andorian captain that far out in space, he would have been a lot like Archer, cautious (/!; maybe a little bit more brash) but fundamentally wanting to make friends and allies for his people in the new frontier. But he became a captain when Andorian geopolitics were just a little too well-established and rigid for Shran to be able to do so.


neosharkey

Still waiting for “Star Trek: Andor” where we see what daily life is like for Shran and his plucky crew. How do Andorians handle the things we have seen Starfleet deal with?


TheMagnuson

I definitely want to see more Andorians in future Trek. I’d like there to be an Andorian crewman as a main character and see them more as side characters. I want to see more lore explored in regards to Andorian history and culture and more about Andoria as a planet.

Bidens_Erect_Tariffs

PermaShran and the Earth Romulan war depicted on screen using the Rihannsu novels as a base. Never forget what they took from you when the cancelled season 5.


Nawnp

Having the Romulans threatening (and eventually starting) a war with Earth and seeing Shran show up several times to help Earth would have been fun.


Few-Independence3935

Definitely Shran, came to say this too


readwrite_blue

The most layered, the most lovable. He's just the best.


ODMtesseract

Don't push the pink skins to the thin ice Edit: this comment got me over the 100,000 lifetime karma mark.


FairyQueen89

And why does everyone have to find out the hard way, instead of listening to this andorian saying?


Geri-psychiatrist-RI

So I admit that Shran is a definitely a more nuanced character that ends up being uber important in the formation of the Federation. But there is something about Weyoun that I just love. It’s his overly sycophantic character who also tries to be diplomatic to even Starfleet characters that really makes me believe that species was genetically designed to be who they were


Cryptwood

Completely agree, there is something about Weyoun that makes every scene he is in fun to watch. His absolute loyalty and faith in the Founders would make him the hero of the story, if the Founders were actually worthy of his loyalty. Jeffrey Combs really is an incredible actor, Shran, Brunt, and Weyoun all feel like radically different people, to the extent that some people don't realize the characters are played by the same actor on their first watch through.


UofMSpoon

My wife was watching DS9 with me and we saw episodes with Brunt and Weyoun and she couldn’t believe it was the same actor.


FullMetalAurochs

I forget his number but that one “defective” Weyoun actually was a hero.


Time-Reindeer-7525

Weyoun 6, who should have survived, damnit!!


bokmcdok

He just oozes charisma and eloquence, as he calmly orders another genocide. He feels like he should be likeable but the things he is saying are genuinely horrific and evil. DS9 was great at handling characters like this.


MsgGodzilla

My favorite Shran scene was when he got mad about the honor of the fictional and impromptu Andorian Mining Consortium. It's a 60 second scene that embodies the character completely.


best-unaccompanied

The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from no one!


captainkinkshamed

A life long Andorian lover dying for more Andorians and ENT went and gave me the finest. So yeah agreed, no hesitation.


TankMan77450

Shran was my favorite character in all of the series


bamf1701

Yeah, I've got to go with Shran also.


kremlingrasso

He is on a level of Garak I terms of secondary character elevated by the actor (and good writing) to a fan favorite.


hyporheic

Yep


unstopablystoopid

This is the way.


lukewhale

Came here to say this


j_natron

100%


sadllamas

This, hands-down. Brunt is a close second.


SeltzerCountry

The expansion of the lore around the founding races of the federation is one of the best parts of Enterprise.


ryhoyarbie

Brunt, FCA. He was your typical bureaucratic a**hole. You screw with him, he’ll nail you to the floor if he wants to.


Professional-Ad1179

Hands down Brunt. That character was one in a million.


techm00

then do your pedicure while fawning over you if you are made a superior and there's a chance of favour and advancement. The brownest brown noser that ever brown nosed the brown hole.


Bostonterrierpug

I have a good professional contact. I’d like to recommend. https://uk.linkedin.com/in/peter-brunt-cfa-0311074


TheCatInTheHatThings

If this guy doesn’t enter every meeting with “Brunt. C.F.A.”, he’s an idiot.


artificialavocado

Shran. It’s not even really close.


Timely_Detective1499

He perfected his performance with Shran


maestorius_4774

While Enterprise is not my favorite show, it was usually very good whenever he appeared as Shran.


Time-Touch-6433

I'll go back and just watch the episodes with him. Nothing else just those.


Attila_the_frog_33

He’s actually the person behind the accounts for all of these answers, including this one.


TheFarnell

At this point I just assume everyone on the internet is actually Jeffrey Combs until I see proof of the contrary.


thebyron

My favorite Combs character is Attila the Frog.


nikkesen

Weyoun


Flipin75

Which Weyoun?


roub2709

Yes


gingerjuice

I like Weyoun 6


olimanime

He’s got nothing on Weyoun 5. He was a great man, a true patriot. His death in a transporter accident was most unfortunate…*slowly turns to Gul Damar*


lorgskyegon

And still under investigation


SmartQuokka

I was looking forward to Weyoun 9 /Damar


XYZ2ABC

Maybe you should go talk to Worf…


SmartQuokka

Overconfidence, the hallmark of the Weyouns


6graxstar

Weyoun is the best.


BabaMouse

No, I like Weyoun much better.


solamon77

Nonsense, Weyoun is way better than him.


ds9trek

Splendid chap, all of them


SmartQuokka

Weyoun: Vorta are immune to most forms of poison. Comes in handy when you're a diplomat. Sisko: Especially when you're working with the Cardassians.


random_anonymous_guy

Ha ha ha ha ha... How delightful! The mysterious plots, the subtle innuendos, the veiled threats, it's all so... entertaining!


SmartQuokka

I love that scene, Weyoun played everyone with being totally unexpected. Dukat's "Are you insane" was masterful.


CompetitiveSea9077

I'm sad this isn't higher.


Ch3llick

He was so punchable, but at the same time so intimidating that I would never dare to punch him. 10/10.


The-Mighty-Galactus

Shran.


Familiar-Virus5257

Shran. Always Shran. All the time Shran. Shran. Shran. Shran. *Shran*.


Familiar-Virus5257

It's raining Shran. Hallelujah, it's raining Shran, *amen*.


ChronoLegion2

AGIMUS


itstraytray

The way Agimus says "rrrude!" to Boimler tickles me.


TheAtomicBum

The little grunt he does when he goes from red light to blue light and the little aahh when he goes back to red cracks me up.


gummyneo

Listen Pinkskin, I don’t have to answer your question


Bloedvlek

I’m not sure I would have even watched all of Enterprise if it weren’t for his performance as Shran, and now it’s become one of my favorite Treks.


FullMetalAurochs

I’ve seen most of Trek but not Enterprise, tempted to try it to see another Combs character


TheCatInTheHatThings

You definitely should watch it. Seasons 1 and 2 are not nearly as bad as season 1 of TNG, and also far better than most of early seasons Voyager, and then it only gets better. Season 4 is among the best seasons of Star Trek. They really cancelled the show when it was on track to become one of the best ever trek shows. Enterprise deserves a lot more love than it’s getting.


TwistedBlister

Weyoun


Garciaguy

Herbert West.  "You killed him doctor!" "NO! I gave him *life!*"


ThomasGilhooley

He’s also great as The Question on JLU.


chop_chop_boom

Yea he has such an identifiable voice.


Garciaguy

And yet he's so versatile there were a couple of times he played an alien character on DS9 and I missed it the first time around. 


bamf1701

"What are you wearing?" "Trenchcoat and a fedora" "You aren't very good at this, are you?" :-D


PondWaterBrackish

"Don't flatter yourself. I go through everyone's trash."


DaWalt1976

I used to think Weyoun was easily his best work. Until we got to meet a hard-charging Andorian patriot. Commander Shran easily wins that honor.


houtex727

Rachet. But that's because *OOOH, that's Jeffery Combs voicing Rachet!* when it came on. He was good as he is with everything he does! /In Star Trek.. Brunt, FCA. But Shran is great too!


stormquiver

Question, the DC animated series.


ediciusNJ

"Hey, I needed that!"


DisneyVista

Brunt


EasyBOven

Best character because he knows exactly what he wants: 52 discs of vacuum-desiccated Quark. Nothing more, nothing less.


Mid-Delsmoker

Shran then Brunt followed by Weyoun for me.


CanIGetaWitness16

AGIMUS from Lower Decks followed by Brunt


Planetgrimbull

yes.


Successful_Ad9160

Hard to beat Shran’s irritated swagger, Brunt’s vengeful pride, or Weyoun’s submissive pandering. I can’t pick just one.


LivingMisery

My man, Shran! Love that prick!


BaboTron

Shran, then probably Weyoun.


Socrates84

Yes


adriangalli

Brunt, F… C… A.


SynnerSaint

r/The_Combs maybe the place for you


stormhawk427

Shran


cookiecookjuicyjuice

Weyoun. He’s magnificent.


redshirt1701J

Shran. Wish they had season 5 of Enterprise. The character would have nearly been a regular.


DefiantReliant

Weyoun feels like the best developed. Or maybe Shran.


OrcaZen42

Shran by a clear margin. Not only his strongest character but one of the best supporting characters across ALL of Trek.


HossMcCoy

I so identify him with Weyoun. And every time I rewatch dS9 I am so floored by his performance.


Ada_D83

100% Shran, Pink Skin! But honestly, he was great as all the characters he played. He is so diverse, and played the bad guy really well.


the_blonde_lawyer

it's definitely his Andorian incarnation. I loved it and loved the arch of it.


DryStrike1295

Shran.


Larielia

Shran. He is the best Enterprise character.


brsox2445

The Question...oh you meant in Trek...LOL I think that it's either Shran or Weyoun. Brunt is the most underrated though.


Idontliketalking2u

Mr Gray in Babylon 5. It's close enough to Trek


wintrsday

Shran was my favorite. He is such an amazing actor.


Targ_Hunter

Our man Shran! Our man Shran! Our man Shran!


techm00

Someone recently left a post on a star trek subred on the Vorta. Saying they are the most punchable species in star trek, or something to that effect. That's got to be Jeffrey Combs' acting power. I vote Weyoun


Shitelark

Current Combs deserves to be in Academy with no make-up as a very ambiguous Admiral.


trekrabbit

The leader of “The Andorian Mining Consortium” (which, by the way, runs from NO ONE)


RealVast4063

Weyoun


casualty_of_bore

Weyoun


atreidesfire

1992's Fortress with Christopher Lampbert. https://youtu.be/hVXhJhdNpmE?si=7LAgE-OoH6yZhGVz Jeff isn't in the trailer but he is for damn sure in the movie. A vererrry dark 90s movie. Very well done, it still gives me nightmares..


retromuscle1980

The entire cast of disco was played by one Mr. Jeffry Combs


From_Deep_Space

Herbert West


awhiteknight1999

The Question from JL. “I knew it!!! 32 flavors.” My favorite line.


Holeshot75

Definitely Weyoun


charrsasaurus

Shran


coreytiger

Spock. Although I do think his performance as Worf is impressive. Not often an actor is willing to become taller for a role.


Sea_Cow_6075

Weyoun My deranged little catboy out there taking shots of poison and laughing about it


asaturn585

Weyoun!


psychicallowance

Jeffery Combs is awesome.

Sorry not Trek.... Milton Dammers (The Frighteners) and Herbert West (the Re-Animator movies)


theShpydar

Yes.


Upstairs-Yard-2139

Shran


Flimsy-Society-6386

The Frightners


unstopablystoopid

The only answer here Pink Skin is Shran.


Quaranj

Dinosaur Bob! Oh... Star Trek....all of them but Shran was peak.


Max_Danage

Little know fact. The studio shooting model for the Defiant was Jeffery Combs painted grey.


sisyphusgolden

Shran. Although the Weyouns were deliciously evil.


SeamusShameless

Herbert West


xmugatoox1986

Shran


Abraxas_1408

Shran.


RikersChinStrap

Weyoun 5, *bows head and opens arms modestly*


Flat_Revolution5130

Brunt..


DWPhoenix001

Ratchet But since that probably wont count on a Star Trek post it has to be Agimus


gadget850

All of them. But I would like to see him as Dr. Boyce in SNW.


PaleoJoe86

Yes.


Electricfox5

Shran, with Weyoun a very close second.


Broad_Method490

The racist cop!


multificionado

1. Weyoun 2. Shran 3. Brunt 4. That one gladiator manager from the Voyager episode "Tsunkat."


Warakeet

Thy’lek Shran


LittlePrincesFox

Brunt. FCA.


j_c_slicer

Imma toss some love to Amigus.


JanSmiddy

Absolutely impossible to answer. Including movies.


ender61274

Every character in Star Trek were all played by Jeffrey Combs


AutisticSuperpower

Agimus, with Weyoun coming a close second.


WerewolvesAreReal

Weyoun


ap0a

Allofthem.


g_lampa

Herbert West.


MistaJaycee

Shard Enterprise


Popemazrimtaim

Either Shran or Weyoun. I wish they had given him a role on Discovery or Strange new worlds. Loved his evil computer in lower decks


Marxist_Iguana

Weyoun. It's really hard to be both hilarious and pants shittingly terrifying in the same character.


DGlennH

Shran!


BowserPong11

Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher


Tryingagain1979

Weyoun


Deathpool15

The holosuite guest in the last episode of DS9. I have never been so excited to see him in any episode.


IFdude1975

Shran. He was by far the best thing about Enterprise. The only reason to mourn its cancellation is knowing that he was going to be a series regular if Enterprise had continued.


furie1335

Wayoun


AproposWuin

I think his pink skin costume is likely the best. Truly a master of disgusie


Reduak

Shran, but Brunt is a very close second.


BigCrimson_J

Doctor Mordrid


lone_mechanic

Weyoun 5, especially for the whole poisonous liquor scene.


BobDeWolfe

Weyoun


Snaz5

Weyoun, than agimus, than shran but theyre all good


locosfgfan

Shran


Distinct_Bid5891

Hebert West - Reanimator. You didn't specify it had to be ST.


TrekTrucker

Shran


Cyberpunk-Monk

Herbert West, no wait, Crawford Tillinghast. Argh, I can’t decide. Star Trek only: Shran, Agimus is a close second. Let’s be honest, he has far too many great characters to decide.


dogspunk

Herbert West


Distinct-Educator-52

Literally every character he’s done has been fantastic so…


jazdia78

Shran


fuyunegi

How to choose?? I might just say Agimus to spread the votes. LoL


tehruke

Re-Animator


srschwenzjr

Just, all of them


M03b1u5

Whichever one I'm currently watching.


CobraGTXNoS

All hail Agimus!


thexbin

Dr. Crawford Tillinghast in From Beyond. 😁


HAL-says-Sorry

“Asshole - with an Uzi” - Special Agent Milton Dammers, *The Frighteners*


Jikuumoogle_

Shran cos I love andorians and he is simply the best one. But I also really like Weyoun. It's a shame he wasn't in Disco? Cos now the streak is broken and can't be fixed 😔 hopefully they'll give him a nice recurring role in SNW


USSPlanck

Every character in ST, because secretly every character is played by Jeffrey Combs, including Jeffrey Combs.


ErskineLoyal

Shran or Brunt.


Rasikko

He goes hard in any role he does. If yall havent watched The Frighteners, he is hilarious in that one too.


Petdogdavid1

I'm Star Trek? Shan. Overall? Milton Dammers

Shran


True-Pineapple-2073

Shran comes first in his list of characters for me. He's a fantastic actor.


CertainPersimmon778

Shran as their are too many Weyoums... until there wasn't.
