Guinan gives you advice without you even asking that you need it. I love the way she works sometimes. Plus she's usually laid back when talking to others. I also agree what others are saying that she's lived for centuries so she has all this knowledge.
 
I agree with the above post.
Even thought I would choose McCoy for a real issue.
But I voted for Vic because he's of the era (sort of) and lifestyle that knows that you can't spend all of your energy trying to compromise and accommodate with some people. Sometimes you just have to have them whacked.
 
After reading some of the TOS novels I would also add Nurse Chapel to the people I would confide in. TOS didn't recommend Counselors aboard starships, yet. McCoy having a degree in psychology sounds logical, though. And maybe some of his staff are cross-trained, too.

My poll includes only the typical advice-givers. But you are welcome to name other characters. Sometimes even Quark gives advice. :devil: :lol:
 
Guinan. There is a wisdom and "Knowing" to her presence. She would suss out what was key and focus me on the advice I would need, without me even realizing it. Plus, she would know how to make any cocktail in the Universe. Even ones in existence before the
Big Bang, like the Pre-Gravity Cooler, and the Space-Time Bubble Bubbler! ;)
 
When I was at school there actually was a groundsman who I used to talk to about all kinds of things - if I looked like I was having a bad day then he'd usually say something to try to cheer me up!

Then I saw Boothby in Star Trek and got how it worked immediately!
 
Of the choices given, I chose Guinan. She is much wiser than Troi. I would prefer a race of listeners to a race of mind-readers.

Not listed, I would do as Kirk does... listen to both Spock and McCoy and make my decision. :techman:
 
Definitely Khan.

If I were genetically enhanced......:devil:

Otherwise bad idea, Khan is quite dead.

Khan gives advice, and then you (as genetically inferior person) suddenly meet with an unforeseen accident...


On the other hand: my Jem'Hadar are genetically created. But they don't follow Khan, only the Founders.
 
Vic. He hangs out with all the wiseguys, something has to rub off.

Don't forget the setting: you get advice including a nice drink and live music.

I guess even Reg Barclay would go to Vic's.....;)

Please don't insult Barclay like that. He has taste.

Reg is a good guy, but his holodeck adventures with Troi as goddess were questionable. Lucky guy still has Troi as his Counselor, so I guess he would still prefer Deanna.

Vic's songs are a matter of taste. I like them. But you know, Vorta have no sense of aesthetics....:devil: ;)

And I'm glad, that Vic isn't replaced by Justin Bieber. I would ask Khan for advice to get rid of Bieber once and for all.
