7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Sad they left: Jadzia Dax
Wish they had left: Travis Mayweather


8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
Jeremy Aster. I know that's a pretty obscure character, but he was literally taken in as Worf's brother and we never heard from him again, or even had any reference to him whatsoever. The kid was brought into Worf's family and that's just a one episode thing? Nah...that should've made him a recurring character. Either that, or they shouldn't have made him Worf's brother.

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
Saavik? I guess. This was a difficult one to answer for me lol
 
1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person?
I attended a one-day event at which George Takei was the guest of honor. I didn't get to meet him, though.

If you really want to stretch it... of the well-known fans/people who have worked on Star Trek who also had cameo roles, I have met both Bjo Trimble and David Gerrold (both were in the recreation deck scene in ST:TMP).

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?
Sadly, the two I'd most have liked to hang out with have died.

Of those still alive, I'd choose George Takei. I read his autobiography, and found it very interesting. There's been far more to his life than just Star Trek.

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?
ENT: Porthos
TOS: Spock
TNG: Q
DS9: Vic Fontaine
VOY: Tom, Seven of Nine, The Doctor

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?
Spock

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.
Nobody. I'm a pacifist.

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?
The entire cast of TNG, Jadzia Dax, Janeway, and Chakotay.

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
It would have made me happy if Worf had left TNG (never to return to any subsequent Star Trek show or movie).

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
Kevin Riley

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
Tom Paris

  1. Kind of met William Shatner. I've taken a picture with him, said just a few words to him (Thanks for coming!) and that was it. I've actually met Marina Sirtis (hilarious) and Jonathan Frakes (also hilarious). Ran into Robert Picardo in a bathroom at a convention. He held a door for me and it was awkward but also kind of awesome.
  2. Oh easy, John Billingsley. Dude is so outgoing and funny, but he doesn't seem intimidating like Sirtis or Frakes. Really the whole cast of Enterprise. If you're ever at a con and the ENT cast has a panel, GO TO THAT ONE. Skip whatever panel is on at the same time. I'm serious. They're so happy to be there and for people to come hear them talk. There's really a camaraderie and love for the fans there. It's an intimate setting because it's not like the TNG panels with crowds spilling out of the room. So good.
  3. ......Kira Nerys :adore:
  4. Bashir. Love Trek doctors.
  5. In combat, Sisko and Kira. No question. They don't screw around.
  6. I don't think there are any Trek characters that annoy me in that way. At least not Federation characters.
  7. If Trip had left ENT, that would've tanked the show, probably.
  8. Sito Jaxa. There was a character who could've carried a series but was short-changed with two appearances. Damn shame.
  9. Captain Worf, obviously.

None.

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?

None. However, I wouldn't mind getting to meet/interview Rick Berman (Executive Producer/Creator/Co-Creator of various series)

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?

Riker, Chakotay

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?

Picard

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.

Worf

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?

Bones

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show?
Picard

Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Neelix

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?

Mistress Beata

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?

Ensign Garrovick
 
1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person?
Sadly none so far.

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?
Meeting Karl Urban, Jeri Ryan, Marina Sirtis, and Nana Visitor would be cool.

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?
Tom Paris, Jadzia, Scotty

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?
Sisko, Kira, Scotty

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.
Kirk because he made an explosive weapon out of dirt and sticks. And definitely Worf because he was the only one smart enough to bring a melee weapon to fight the Borg in First Contact. And of course Kira. She doesn't know the meaning of the word quit even if it means bluffing an entire Romulan fleet.

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?
As if it would be any other character but Neelix. The hedgehog really is the universal punching bag.

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Sad to see leave: The Doctor on Voyager. Picardo could brighten up a really dull episode with just a few minutes of screentime. Seven as well for being the only other character on Voyager to get any kind of clear growth without treading backwards for an episode.
Happy to leave: Since Pulaski actually did leave the show she was on I can't go there. I really want to avoid the obvious with Neelix, but there's just no one else so unlikeable who stayed on as long as he did.

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
Might be cheating, but I'm gonna say Shran on Enterprise. I know there were plans to make him an actual main cast member if the show hadn't been cancelled which makes him an obvious choice. A shame, too, 'cause Combs really deserved to finally get his name in the opening credits after all the work he did for the franchise.
Second choice would be Commander Shelby from Best of Both Worlds. Yeah they brought her back in the books, but I felt she had what it took to be a regular onscreen.
My third choice is a toss-up between Carol Marcus and Jaylah in the movies. I liked both characters and the new Enterprise needs more female main characters.

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
I'm gonna copy someone else and say Worf. He looked right at home in the Defiant's captain's chair.

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
Mr. Leslie
Ens. Tsu
The guy Troi had sex with in Man of the People
 
Robert Picardo. Hands down. He's been on Trek he's been on Stargate he's into something sci fi right now (but I forgot what).
AND he's very accessible and respectful.
Had the privilege of driving him San Diego Comic Con 2008.
I'll post his autographed head shot when I get it scanned into puter 001 tertiary sub 9.
The fact that I have it says something about Mr. Picardo (limo drivers can't be autograph hounds and stay drivers for long) but he insisted and I am glad. In that case it was the customer is always right. Wonderful conversationalist as well.
 
1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person?
Let's see... Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis (funny lady), Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, Nana Visitor, Rene Auberjonois, and Cirroc Lofton. Everyone from Frakes & beyond was at ST Mission NY last year.

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?
Shatner would be interesting. Brent Spiner seems funny. And Wil Wheaton and I are very close in age & similarly geeky, so we could probably find a lot to talk about.

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?
Going on shore leave with Kirk & McCoy would probably be fun.

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?
James T. Kirk.

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.
Ship to ship - Kirk. Ground - I'm not sure. Probably not Worf, though. He got beaten up a lot. Kirk again, I guess.

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?
Neelix. GOD, he's annoying. Ilia also got on my nerves.

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Sad - I would've hated it if Data had been written out of TNG.
Happy - Neelix. But I gave up on watching VOY partway through, so I suppose it didn't make much difference in the long run.

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
Yeoman Tonia Barrows.
Kirstie Alley's Saavik.
I would've liked to have seen Kevin Riley or Lt. Commander Giotto again.

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
It could be interesting to see Chekov in command of a ship. It would bring his character full circle since he started as an Ensign & protege for the main characters on TOS.
 
1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person?

Janeway sometimes.

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Kirk, Riker, Bashir, Seven, Trip for missing the most. Hard to answer the second.

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
Sloane on DS9

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
He's not low-ranking, but I always enjoyed when Trip took command of the Enterprise.
 
1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person?
None. I don't get out much.

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?
Shatner - because he's William f-ing Shatner
I hear a lot of the secondary DS9 cast are awesome; Shimmerman, Robinson, Grodenchik, Alaimo, Combs...

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?
Sisko - I'd like to watch a baseball game with him.

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?
Picard - probably the least likely to get me killed.

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.
Sisko is a pretty big badass in combat, both on a ship and hand to hand.

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?
Neelix.

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Sad - Data
Happy - Worf on DS9. He was fine, but I don't think he was needed on that show.

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
I don't know, so I'll just say Liquidator Brunt because I like saying Liquidator Brunt.

Ensign Ro.

Only Suzi Plakson and Patricia Tallman

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?

I'm told Garret Wang is a really cool guy

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?

I bet Riker's a hoot in his off time.

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?

O'Brien

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.

Kirk!

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?

Barclay. My God, how did he even get thru the Academy?

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)

I'd have been sad if O'Brien had disappeared.
I'd have been delighted if the Holodoc had never existed.

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?

TNG - Ensigns Leffler and Gomez. Two delightful, beautiful young actresses portraying delightful, beautiful young characters.

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?

Tom Paris probably would be a bold and adventurous commander.
 
1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person?
I have met, in chronological order, Robbie MacNeill, George Takei, Armin Shimerman and Wil Wheaton. Might meet Jason Isaacs next month.

2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with?
Armin Shimerman was a lot of fun, but I think probably Andy Robinson, Tim Russ or Terry Farrell if I had to pick someone new. When I met Shimerman there was virtually no line and we got to talk for a while. As far as the non-mains go, probably Chase Masterson, as I've heard that she's incredibly nice.

3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with?
Quark, Data or Garak

4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under?
Serve under? Archer. Such a softy that I could get away with murder. Otherwise Geordi and Data.

5) Which Trek character would you want by your side in combat? Ship-to-ship combat & ground combat.
Ground combat? Data. Ship combat? Picard or Sisko.

6) Which Trek character makes you just want to slap the *bleep* out of them?
Voyager Doctor. Nothing against Bob Picardo, but not everything is "an outrage".

7) Which regular Trek character would make you sad if they left the show? Which one would make you happy if they left? (Pretend the series hasn't ended.)
Sad if Data left. Happy if Voyager Doctor left.

8) Which Trek guest character (only in one episode or just a very few) would you like to see come back as a regular / full-time character?
Shelby.

9) Which lower-ranking Trek character would you want to see get a command of his/her own ship?
Chekov, of the USS Vivisector
