Just found some of my back issues of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Had a crazy thought. If you could populate a starship with characters (TV or movies -- TV might be easier), who would you choose for your officers? Nothing against Mr. Scott but I think MacGyver would make a great engineer. Perry Cox from Scrubs would probably be my chief medical officer. More to come. It's getting late. Anyone want to play along?
This is a fun thread Here are a few ideas - always assuming that the characters know their way around 23rd/24th century Starfleet technology Medical officer: Dr. House (disregarding his personality) Science officer: Sheldon Cooper (ditto) Security chief: The Six Million Dollar Man Intelligence officer (if starships have one): Number 6 Chief Engineer: MacGyver (great call!) Captain: Ben Cartwright Computer: K.I.T.T.
Captain-Alexander the Great Security Chief- TJ Hooker Intelligence officer- Jeff Cable JAG officer-Denny Crane Chief Medical Officer-Dr. Edison Milford Goodson III
Captain--Lee Marvin Number One-- Charles Bronson Security Chief--Clint Walker Science Officer--James Coburn Sulu--Bruce Lee Uhura--Foxy Brown Chief Engineer-- Anthony Quinn Steve McQueen as Gary Seven Gene Hackman as the Rogue Admiral Where is Clint Eastwood you say--he's Judge Dredd of course.
Just make sure you leave the word "Extraordinary" in there. Or else you might end up with: USS Royston Vasey - You'll never leave!
I can see the landing party now. They beam down in a line in front of the bad guys. Pull out their six-shooters instead of phasers. And the Captain is chewing on a cigar.
