No, he won't.
All you can hope for is watching the 700+ eps of Star Trek over and over for the rest of your life. That's as close as you'll get.

Depends on which Enterprise. I would hope it would be the newly refitted Enterprise. I would check out every detail, go to the Rec Deck, the Cargo Deck, Sick Bay and Engineering just so I can see them in person.

And the follow on question: Would you ever return to your own time?

I'd hope I wasn't wearing my ridiculous silver gym shorts. They're ridiculous, you know.

Re: What would you do if you were suddenly beamed aboard the enterpris
Seems like people are getting the idea that they will get on board and think they know all about Star Trek. Wouldn't be more like Voyage Home where that Biologist got beamed aboard the Bird of Prey and was thrust into the future?
I've thought about the idea of being put into a futuristic setting before and I like the idea. I have Epilepsy (Grand Mal seizures) as well as a learning disorder. I would think that McKoy would have cures for such thinks. It would be great to not have to take meds anymore and be able to live a normal life; not to mention a longer life.
I have read a scifi book or two involving 'Future-shock' and I don't think I would have that as some of you would seem to. Getting caught up would be a major learning curve, but I would love the idea of being able to get to space any time I wanted!

Re: What would you do if you were suddenly beamed aboard the enterpris
The first thing I would do is to pinch myself. Really hard.
Once I've confirmed that I'm not hallucinating, I'd try to cooperate with the Starfleet personnel as much as possible. Staying calm and cool headed will better my chances of survival.
Future culture shock wouldn't worry me too much, since most of us have been exposed to a variety of science fiction through various mediums.
If it is determined that I cannot return to my own place and time (in order to prevent contamination of the timeline), I would immediately volunteer to make myself useful on the vessel I'm currently on.
I'd quietly observe my surroundings to confirm whether or not my knowledge of a fictional TV show matches up with their reality - I don't want to get into an argument with Scotty or LaForge over a misunderstanding regarding the finer aspects of Warp Core operation.
Finally, I'd request for Doctor McCoy or Crusher to treat my myopia - when was the last time anybody wore glasses in the Trek universe?

I assign the OP the following homework: watch Galaxy Quest as soon as you are able.

If I understand you correctly, why would you be in fear for your life. This is Star Trek after.

How would a trek fan make themselves useful on a starship since all their information is fictional. All you know is the few episodes of TOS. You don't know how to use any of the equipment on the ship and you are not even trained. Unless you have a Masters degree in something, you are basically a passenger.
I'd suspect that LaForge would know infinitely more than you would about Warp Core Engineering, so there wouldn't be any worry about an argument. After all, you have fictional info while he has "real info".

In time, I would get my bearings as to how the technology works.
Quietly observing my surroundings and learning as I go is better than being a rabid fan jumping to conclusions because said fan thinks they know better than the characters.
I pinch myself to simply make sure I'm not dreaming/hallucinating. Got nuthin' to do with fear.
I could be assigned very menial tasks, which could free up a crewman to do something more productive.

One cannot have infinite knowledge.

Re: What would you do if you were suddenly beamed aboard the enterpris
1. Go to Sickbay and have Dr McCoy fix everything that he can find that needs fixing. Eyesight, teeth, possible clogged arteries, etc.
2. Go to Engineering and ask Mr Scott for copies of all of his technical journals.
3. Learn as much as I possibly can.
4. Be useful.
5. Hang out with all of the hot female yeomen and young lieutenants.
6. Hit on them.

I would try to avoid being assigned to security and reject all clothing that is even similar to the color red.

I'd just want to know why there were so many flashing lights.

I'd assume someone was playing an elaborate practical joke and I'd search around for hidden cameras.
When I became convinced this was really happening, I'd see what Dr. McCoy's 23rd-century medicine could do about my diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney stones and parathyroid problems.
I'd also hit on all the cute miniskirted space babes. With so many of them on the TOS Enterprise, I'd be bound to get lucky eventually.
