Spoilers So, Would You Join Starfleet in the Kelvin Universe?

Plus you got Neural Parasites, jumped up space probes. Giant Space Amoebas and Doomsday Machines wiping out entire planets and Solar Systems.
McCoy was right. Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence

And yet he still joined......
 
I wouldn't join Starfleet in any universe, you know the mortality rate of those fuckers?
 
I wouldn't want to be part of anything I enjoy watching. Part of the reason it's enjoyable is because the fate of the characters is uncertain and that some of them are likely to die.
 
Starfleet officers have it rough in EVERY universe. Need I point out that several Constitution-class starships didn't survive the Enterprise's five year mission? The Defiant, the Constellation, the Exeter, the Intrepid, the Excalibur. There's no telling how many ships and officers were lost between the time Kirk returned the Enterprise to Earth and when Nemesis happened. Starfleet is a rough business. Space travel is a rough business. Now, would I join Starfleet? In all likelihood, probably not. And even if I did, I know I wouldn't sign up with the Enterprise. That's craziness right there.
 
I'd much rather join it than than prime Starfleet. And I disagree about it being more dangerous on the grounds I wouldn't be forced to kill myself out of boredom.

Only if they wear certain colors ;) Just put on blue.

Hmm...do suicide booths get installed on starships?
 
Its not like blue will necessarily save you... first guy to die onscreen in the Prime timeline was wearing a blue shirt in The Man Trap and the first person to become infected with the virus in Naked Time (and the only one they said died) was also wearing blue.
 
I'm 34 now so I would've had an illustrious career in Starfleet and now be a Fleet Admiral due for retirement, with ambition to become the next UFP President by the age of 35 :lol:

I think apart from Kirk, Spock and McCoy, no one was really safe.
 
I wonder if these uniforms are as uncomfortable as they look. Picard is constantly readjusting his, it looks like he's OCD.:lol:
 
I totally would, without hesitation. Any time period, Kelvin Timeline or Prime, whatever. Think I'd wanna be a helmsman if I couldn't be a captain or first officer.
