Favorite Captain's Chair

nx1701g · August 20 2008, 06:03 PM

Inspired by the decision to sell a replica of Captain Kirk's Command chair I was wondering: who's Command chair is your favorite and (if it was available) would you buy a replica of it?

Please select only ONE CHAIR and ONE BUYING CHOICE

Gah, tough choices! I was tempted between Kirks and Picards. Kirks for obvious reasons but Picards looks a lot more comfy (and if I'm gonna be buying the command chair I'm gonna be lounging in it so...).

Can't I have both? If not I'll have to go with Picards chair.

The Enterprise-D had two different captain's chairs -- the first design was featured in season one, and the second design was featured in all the other episodes as well as Generations.

The Kirk-era films also featured different captain's chairs.

The TOS chair will live forever, however.................

The chair from the original TV series.

I would not pay 2000 bucks for one, no.

[/IMG]I love the bridge setup from TWOK and TSFS, especially the captains chair! I love the one from TMP(also make an appearance in TWOK as Reliant's chairs, and in TNG as Stargazer's seating), but i'll stick with the white beauties!

If only one? TNG later years.

Sorry only one

I like the chairs in TNG (and the films) and the chair on Voyager

M · August 20 2008, 09:59 PM

The original. But no, I wouldn't buy it. Well, I couldn't!

Other chairs might be more comfortable, but Kirk's TOS throne is iconic. I'd totally buy it if I could afford it.

Damn right! I'm with you on this one brother. I'd buy one of these babies in a heartbeat.

Red Ranger · August 22 2008, 05:52 AM

I voted for (a) Kirk's TOS chair, (b) his movie chair, and (c) no, I would not buy one! I do have another chair I like even more, though -- Kirk's chair from Mirror, Mirror, also seen in The Ultimate Computer as Commodore Wesley's command chair. Maybe IKEA sold it to him! -- RR

Bitchin! I wonder if they sold any during the 40 years of trek auction? I would sell just about everything I own to have possession of one of those chairs! I wish there was a way to find out if paramount still has one.
