So I was thinking about a the old captain argument, who’s ship you would want to be on (I usually say Picard but I’ve been watching a lot more DS9 lately, so I’m going with Sisko). I thought maybe we could take it a step further. Who would be in your ideal bridge crew, if you could choose a person for each spot from ANY series? Some of these roles were combined or eliminated (communications) and sometimes certain roles weren’t seated on the bridge or changed because of a mission’s needs, but it’s your crew so play around with it however you’d like. Here’s mine Captain: Sisko First Officer: Spock Helmsman: Sulu Ops: Data Tactical/Security: Worf Engineering: Trip Ensign: Nog Just for fun Doctor: EMH Barkeep: Quark Someone I would never allow on my ship: B’Elanna Torres I hope this isn’t a duplicate thread!
Captain: Kirk First Officer: Riker Science Officer/Second Officer: Spock Helmsman: Mayweather Navigator: Arex Ops: Seven of Nine Tactical/Security: Worf Communications: Sato Engineering: Scott (although with an ops officer, he might not be on the bridge all the time.) Ensign/Trainee: Kevin Thomas Riley Doctor: M'Benga Barkeep: Quark Someone I would never allow on my ship: Dave Bailey BTW, "conn" is the person in charge on the bridge (e.g. the captain), not the helmsman.
CO: Kirk First Officer: Spock Chief Engineer: Scott Chief Science Officer: Data Chief Operations Officer: O'Brien Chief of Security: Worf Chief Tactical Officer: Reed CONN: Sulu CMO: EMH
Captain: Kirk First Officer: Riker Science Officer/Second Officer: Jadzia Helmsman: Paris Navigator: Saavik Ops: Joann Owosekun Tactical/Security: Garrovick Communications: Rand Engineering: La Forge Ensign/Trainee: Ro Doctor: Bev Bartender: Guinan
I think you just invented a new activity (or does it exist already?). "Fantasy Star Trek" After we form our crews, we need to run simulators to compete and see who perform missions more effectively. (i.e. less damage in battle, recruiting of more federation members in negotiations, less red-shirts killed in a mission etc. )
Hahahaha it would be interesting to see how the teams work together to keep their red shirt quotas up. And I can’t believe how many people picked Kirk!! He’s so unpredictable and impulsive. Definitely charismatic though. He’s awesome in first contact scenarios.
fantasy trek: ok. Captain: Spock XO: T'Pol Science Officer: Burnham Tactical: Tuvok Helm: Sulu Nav: Saavik Comms: Sato
This is a tough one that will require some thought. Definitely know I want Sulu at the helm, though. Demora Sulu. The thread reminds me of the one I started a few years back about re-casting the TOS roles with any actors and actresses that you choose, from any era including before the year 1900. There were a lot of good stage actors. I might start one up again for TOS, but someone could do one for TNG and the others as well. Movies, too.
Ok here goes... Captain: Sisko First Officer: Spock Helmsman: Paris Ops: Seven Tactical/Security: Odo Engineering: O'Brien Doctor: McCoy Communications: Sato Ensign: Chekov Just for fun Barkeep: Garak Someone I would never allow on my ship: Harry Kim, the dude is a walking disaster area.
Heres my list Captain: Sisko First Officer: Chakotay Helmsman: Tom Paris Ops: Data Tactical/Security: Shran Engineering: O'Brien Ensign: Garak ( under cover of course ) Just for fun Doctor: Bashir Barkeep: Quark Someone I would never allow on my ship: Brunt FCA
Captain: Kathryn Janeway First Officer: Elizabeth Paula Shelby Science Officer/Second Officer: Spock Helmsman: Thomas Eugene Paris Navigator: Chekov Ops: Seven of Nine Tactical/Security: Odo Communications: Uhura Engineering: Geordi LaForge Ensign/Trainee: Icheb Doctor: EMH Barkeep: Vic Fontaine Someone I would never allow on my ship: T'Pol What a wonderful bunch with two female leaders......
Nice!! Do you think Janeway and Shelby would make a good team or bump heads? They’re both very strong willed and resolute. Spoiler: DSC Spoiler In my head I would see them coexisting a little like Gorgiou and Michael Burnham in DSC. A chaotic balance that might ultimately lead to one of their demise!
Good point. I really can’t see anyone going head to head with Janeway and ending up on top. Especially not Chakotay.
And then there is Seven. Another stubborn and strong person Shelby would have to deal with. I didn't include Harry Kim with the knowledge that Shelby would have smoked him (in a very big pipe )
Okay, my crew: Captain: Jean-Luc Picard First Officer: Spock Operations Officer: Data Flight Control Officer: Hikaru Sulu Security Chief: Worf Chief Engineer: Montgomery Scott Chief Medical Officer: Julian Bashir Science Officer: Jadzia Dax Counselor: Ezri Tigan (not Dax; the Symbiont is still in use ) Communications Officer: Hoshi Sato Nurse: Kes NOT on my ship: Janeway! I don't want it to take seven years to come home.
