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

[Balok's Decoy]

I think Janeway said: "Weird is our business." or something like that.

Kirk said, "Risk...risk is our business. That's what this ship is all about. That's why we're aboard her!" If I had my choice, I'd want to serve on the 1701 under Kirk. I mean, I'd be down with Voyager, but it's not my first choice. If the possibility of a panel exploding in my face is the price I have to pay to live in the Star Trek universe, I'll wear a helmet with a light on top and my name on it.

I don't think that's the way to get the job.

I'd join, but only if I could wear a lime green uniform.

Hmm...do suicide booths get installed on starships?

Only for redshirts. They're called "transporters."

Off the top of my head, TOS had red shirts:

• Get their faces removed, leaving them to suffocate
• Get turned into mineral cubes, which are then crushed.

• Eaten by a doomsday machine
• Eaten by vampires
• Eaten by gas vampires
• Eaten by Gorn
• Eaten by giant amoeba
• Ripped to pieces by were cats
• Gutted by an alien ghost
• Crushed by rocks
• Crushed by Ruk
• Tortured to death by the agony booth
• Tortured to death with the neural neutraliser
• Tortured to death in a pressure chamber
• Tortured to death by Zetarians
• Burned to death by Horta
• Burned to death in disintegration chambers
• Turned into lizards. (TOS totally did it first)
• Die of painful space disease by the hearse loads

Screw the prime Trek verse and its horrifying maze of cruel and unusual death. Give me the Nuverses increased chances of getting blown out into space, shot to death, or falling off high ledges any day!

Actually Star Trek Beyond has them starting to introduce cruel and unusual death into the universe.

I would. But i wouldn't want to graduate during the time when Kirk graduated which was when they received the distress call from Vulcan. Many new graduates died upon arriving at Vulcan no thanks to Nero and co. Lucky graduates on board the Enterprise.

Did you make these yourself?

There's an old children's toy called the "Star Trek Helmet." It's that. It's ridiculous.

I think even an 8 year old would realize that this is ridiculous.

And we wonder why there is a critical opprobrium attached to Star Trek. lol
