Toughest Crew

[DevilEyes]

Riker would have used his charm to convince the Cardassians that joining the Dominion is wrong.

He could try, which would probably lead to the second use of the phrase "You're too fat" in the Trek franchise.

edit: Riker trying to charm Dukat into not joining the Dominion? Sounds like some very silly crossover slash-humor. It would probably go something like this:

Dukat: You're not my type.
Riker: But why? I thought I was everybody's type!
Dukat: You have the wrong genitalia, you're not Bajo...erm, Cardassian, and you're too fat. But I still don't mind listening to you talk about how great and manly and sexy I am. Please continue!

 

[barnaclelapse]

I've gotta go with TOS.

 

[Anika Hanson]

DS9 the others are just too nice, if it came down to it Kira would use terroist tactics.

 

[Guardian Bob]

I'll say ENT. Their crew and ship took the most beating. And heck, they were alone.

 

[SFRabid]

If you take out the special characters like Odo and Data and cut it down to core characters like captain, first officer, engineer I would call it a tie between DS9 and ENT.

 

[KirkSpockTOSFan]

In my oppion I think TOS crew would. I say that because both Kirk and Spock are tough to beat in a fight espically Spock. Spock is pretty strong tough to beat, as you remmber from some of the episodes. Sulu can be very tricky too at times, epsically with a sword.

 

[Eyes]

I think DS9 would win. I'll give it a try, through lining each one up in the order you've put them.

Kirk vs Picard vs Sisko vs Janeway vs Archer: Sisko
Spock vs Riker vs Kira vs Chakotay vs T'Pol: Spock
Bones vs Data vs Dax vs Tuvok vs Trip: Data
Scotty vs Troi vs Bashir vs The Doctor vs Reed: The Doctor or Bashir, however with Bashir's motor skills I think he could easily disarm the Doctor.
Uhura vs Crusher vs O'Brien vs Torres vs Phlox: As the only Klingon, I think Torres wins this one.
Sulu vs Geordi vs Odo vs Paris vs Sato: Odo
Chekov vs Worf vs Quark vs Kim vs Shran: An easy win for Worf, the only competition being Shran.
Rand vs Pulaski vs Garak vs Kes vs Mayweather: Garak
Chapel vs Wes vs Nog vs Seven vs Cuttler: Seven
Redshirt vs Yar vs Rom vs Neelix vs Soval : I think this one goes to Yar.


So we have Spock vs Data,Worf and Yar vs Sisko, Odo, Bashir, and Garak vs Torres and Seven.

It comes down to TNG vs DS9, but due to numbers and a shapeshifter, the DS9 crew would triumph. Sisko, Garak and Bashir would take down Worf and Yar, while Odo would outmatch Data.

1st: DS9
2nd: TNG
3rd: VOY
4th: TOS
5th: ENT

I think ds9 would win it. It would be an awesome brawl, but ds9 just has way too many heavy hitters. It would probably come down to odo vs data, at which time super odo would just morph into some ungodly monstrosity and tear data apart. How big can odo get, anyway? Can he morph into anything, like say...a gigantic 8 sword armed, exoskeleton, spider monster that has phasers for eyes and klingons for feet?

How about a test for all of the crews, like something Q would submit them to? Like say a planet is facing some great cataclysm...which ship and crew would save them all first?

 

[Anji]

The ENT crew. They took a helluva beating and got nothing for it.

 

[Bisz]

As others have said, Odo makes this a clear DS9 victory. Without Odo it comes down to TNG vs DS9 and I think that DS9 still takes it... maybe. Data will be very tough to beat, we have seen him overpower Worf, who is the strongest that DS9 has... hmm, sounds like I'm changing my mind here and giving the fight to TNG if Odo is not a factor. Now, without Odo AND Data, its an easy victory for DS9 again.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

DS9. They fight dirty.

 

[SilentP]

Now, without Odo AND Data, its an easy victory for DS9 again.

Remember, that Worf counts as TNG, since he was in that series far longer than DS9

 

[john titor]

TOS and DS9 are most definately the toughest on average. DS9 would have the advantage but TOS had kirk, the master of combat, he knew judo and probably a few other martial arts, spock had the vulcan nerve pinch, bones could poison people I guess, sulu was an expert swordsman, in fact every character on TOS would have combat skills, thats all they did exploring the galaxy, getting into fights with every alien species in the universe. Where I think they would win out would be their wider breadth of experience in fighting alien races and they had Kirk who was ingenuitive genius. He killed a gorn by formulating gunpowder in a desert. Thats where they would win out. Kirk was creative genius and he applied this to strategy and starship captainig. Sisko would rank in the same league in this sense at all. So while DS9 would be more hardcore fighters I believe TOS would win out with their flair and ingenuity.

Worf was kinda lame aswel, to compound to TNGs problems in this area. He always got overwhelmed as a security officer.

As for Odo defeating Data, I wouldn't be so sure. Data has demonstrated on many occassions that his intellect and speed of thought is to say the least, awesome. So while Odo has a physical advantage Data could just concoct a particle weapon or some clever strategem which would disable Odo. As a tactician he is a force not to be underestimated, as with the episode where he was temporarily made captain.

 

[StarryEyed]

This would be more entertaining than a WWE Royal Rumble.

Kirk would be flying around, drop-kicking everybody, an expressionless Data would fling opponent after opponent half the length of a football field, Worf and B'lanna would be howling in fury and Spock would calmly apply nerve pinch after nerve pinch. Quark would try to bribe combatants to change sides, Tuvok would lament the illogic of Starfleet officers committing battery on each other - while mowing down one after another while an anguished Troi would observe the melee from the sidelines.

"I sense GREAT HOSTILITY here! ANGER!! PAIIIN!!"

 

[Vic Sixx]

I gotta go with the TOS crew, Kirk would talk Data into destroying himself. Kirk has experience in fighting Klingons, I think he could take Worf. They'd find a way beat Odo.

 

[StarryEyed]

If we're talking about a situation where the crews battle all at once, I think the Voyager crew wins. Data and Odo would keep each other occupied in what I think would be a stale-mate. This leaves the Voyager crew with a huge advantage because with Data and Odo out of the way, there's nobody who would be a match for Seven or Tuvok. And if those two protected the EMH's flanks so nobody could slap his emitter off, they have the top 3 fighters.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

I voted for TOS but after thinking a bit about it I must reconsider.

If the rules are last man standing wins, the win must go to ENT, specifically Mayweather because EVERYBODY simply ignores him while he's letting all the others destroy each other.

Him and Hoshi, remember what happened in the end of 'In a Mirror Darkly'?

Why does everyone assume this is a one on one only match and not a royal rumble of sorts? As in, Data and/or Odo alone take on more than one person with EASE.

I don't know who would win ultimately, DS9 (the Odo factor) or TNG (the Data factor) but there is no chance any other group can come close.

And the way Worf handles the Jem'Hadar, it's not like Data would be alone.
