DreamYour Modern ST Crew

talon1579

Cadet
Newbie
If you could pick your dream command crew form the 3 modern series (TNG, DS9 and Voyager) to run a ship (or more importantly, to watch on TV), who would you pick?

Mine:

Captain - Picard
First Officer - Sisko
Second Officer/Ops - Data
Security/Tactical - Tuvok
Chief Engineer - O'Brien
Doctor - The Doctor (EMH)
Conn - Paris
Science Officer - Jadzia Dax
 
Why no Enterprise? You're causing me to lose my Chief Engineer! (although I'd gladly take B'Ellana or Miles)


Captain - Picard
First Officer - Riker
Second Officer/Ops - Data
Security - Odo
Tactical - Worf
Chief Engineer - O'Brien
Doctor - The Doctor
Conn - Paris
Science Officer - T'Pol
 
I was pondering this very question my self the other day when I was thinking how much I dislike certain characters and would like them replaced. I haven't seen TNG in ages so I'm only including VOY and DS9 characters.

Captain - Janeway
First Officer - Major Kira (she's so much better than Chakotay)
Ops/Science - Seven of Nine (It'd be nice to keep Seven on the bridge)
Tactical - Tuvok
Security - Odo
Doctor - EMH (though I do really like Bashir too)
Chief Engineer - Torres (O'Brien is fab but he would miss Bashir too much)
Helm/Science - Jadzia Dax (I think Dax is a better pilot than Paris and boasts a bit less)


I'd also like to have Quark running the bar, even if its a starship I say a bar is a good idea. I'd also have Tal Celes as a recurring character because I really liked her in the 2 VOY episodes she was in.
 
I'm including some of the Enterprise characters and the recurring characters as well.

Captain - Kira
First Officer - Shran
Second Officer/Ops - Data
Security/Tactical - Reed
Chief Engineer - Trip
Doctor - Bashir (the choice between him and the Doctor was hard)
Conn - Ro Laren
Science Officer - Jadzia Dax
Ship's Councilor - Ezri Dax (but there would have to be a good explanation as to why both Daxes are there)

I wonder how Kira and Shran would interact with each other...

Watching Captain McCoy interacting with his two top officers, Seven and Data, would be a treat.
Interactions with the EMH ... ?

In fact the entire crew is designed around McCoy.

I wonder how Kira and Shran would interact with each other...
Hot monkey sex?

Given the choice, I'd have Malcolm Reed as Security/Tactical instead.
 
I was bored on the bus this afternoon and, no kidding, I made a list of my own little dream crew (counting all five shows) and saved it to a draft. Nothing can top T'Girl's, because mine wasn't done with humor in mind, but I might as well share it anyway...

Starring
Captain: Jean-Luc Picard
Also Starring
First Officer: Kira Nerys
Second Officer: Data

This is with the thread starter's rules in mind.

First Officer: Kira Nerys
Security: Odo Ital
Tactical: Natasha Yar

Operations: Data
Flight Control: Thomas Paris
Science: Jadzia Dax

Troi-Counselor
7 Of 9-Security
La Forge-Engineering
Jadzia Dax-Science
EMH "The Doctor"-Medical
Hoshi-Ops
Yar or Tuvok-Tac
 
I'm going to take the "modern crew" idea one step further and base my picks solely on people who were still alive as of their last canonical appearance (i.e., Data is not admissible since he died in Nemesis), and I'm going with a lot of "young" / "new" blood too.

Commanding Officer: Elizabeth Shelby
Executive Officer: Ezri Dax (echoing her move into command from the DS9 Relaunch)
Chief Engineer: Nog
Chief Medical Officer: Alyssa Ogawa (now a doctor)
Flight Controller: Jean Hajar (one of Wesley's Nova Squadron comrades from "The First Duty")
Science Officer: Mendon (Benzite exchange officer from "A Matter of Honor," who became friends with Wesley)
Operations Officer: Sam Lavelle (one of the "Lower Decks" gang, promoted to night-duty ops officer at end of that episode)
Tactical Officer/Chief of Security: Jenna D'Sora (member of Worf's security department on the Enterprise-D; briefly dated Data)
 
I'm not going to follow the restrictions because I suck.

Captain - Picard
First Officer - Spock
Counselor- Troi *
Tactical - Tuvok
Security - Odo **
Chief Engineer - LaForge
Doctor - The Doctor
Conn - Dax
Science Officer - Data

*Not much competition here but Ezri was a flake, Phlox and McCoy more physicians, and Guinan not quite as professional. Plus Troi was good when she actually counseled.

**Just because it'd be interesting to see him and the position aboard a ship. In uniform too.

This was kind of fun. It'd be a very qualified crew...and I'm picturing them all together...I'd wanna see an episode of that, sure.
 
Does it have to be a Starfleet crew? 'Cos I'd really like to see the crew of the IRW Honor Blade (Charvanek's ship in Vulcan's Heart) .

FYI, Charvanek is the Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident"
 
Nice restrictions. Certainly makes for an exciting... 2380.
It was damn difficult, too, but that was why I set those for myself. Shelby, Nog, Ogawa, and Dax were all easy. We didn't see Ogawa in Insurrection or Nemesis; with First Contact set in 2373, I figure she could be a doctor by 2380, and we already see in an alternate reality that it was a possible future for her. For Dax, I liked the idea from the DS9 Relaunch of her moving into command, so I decided to steal that for my crew. Went with Nog simply because he amuses me, and Shelby because I'd like to see what kind of officer she would've become in the intervening years since "Best of Both Worlds" (even though I already love her in PAD's New Frontier series). The rest of the command crew was the hard part; I spent about an hour combing through old recollections via Memory Alpha to come up with that list. I also considered Melora Pazlar for Science Officer, but ultimately decided on Mendon because I was already trending far too much to humans and near-humans. I do wish I had incorporated more DS9 and VOY characters in hindsight, but I'm just not as familiar with those series at this time as I am with TNG.


Now, for another "go," without my previous personal restrictions, instead going solely with the ones set forth in the original post:

Commanding Officer: Data
Executive Officer: Kira Nerys
Tactical Officer/Security Chief: Tuvok
Chief Medical Officer: Julian Bashir
Chief Engineer: B'Elanna Torres
Science Officer: Jadzia Dax
Flight Controller: Tom Paris
Operations Manager: Nog
 
Captain - Benjamin Sisko

First Officer - Will Riker

Second Officer/Ops - Data

Security - Odo

Tactical - Worf

Chief Engineer - Geordi LaForge

Doctor - Beverly Crusher

Conn - Nog

Science Officer - Jadzia Dax

Counselor - Deanna Troi
 
Mine (in the year 2387):
Commander: Vice-Admiral Benjamin Sisko
First Officer: Commander Tom Paris
Chief Medical Officer: Commander Julian Bashir, M.D.
Counselor/Diplomatic Officer: Lieutenant Commander Ezri Dax
Chief Flight Officer: Lieutenant Commander Sariel Rager
Chief Engineer: Lieutenant Commander Harry Kim
Chief Sciences Officer: Lieutenant Annika Hansen, Sc.D.
Security Chief: Senior Chief Ro Laren
