Who would you really want on your side in a pinch?

Captain Kirk, of course. Because he …always…manages…to prevail!

Just make sure you’re not wearing a red shirt…

My first thought was Data, but then I thought about how am I going to get him to do what I want, OTOH, that applies to all the best choices so I going to stick with him until I know more about what kind of pinch I’m actually in. I would also like to acknowledge the genius that is choosing Bugs Bunny.

If you change the question to:
Who do you want laying beside you to tickle and pinch (when things get tense and exciting)? An even better answer is Gina Lollobrigida who was still something else all through the 1960’s so any time from 1950-1969.

In the old west, I would genuinely prefer to be looked out for by Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch (who are pretty much Hawk and Spenser in a different century), but I would settle for Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrea and their loyal associates (minus Jake). But that got me thinking . . . . .

If your innocent village full of good, hard working people were under threat from a ruthless leader of many gun-hands – who would you rather have looking out for you??

Chris, Vin, Bernardo O’Reilly, Harry, Britt, Lee, and Chico - - - OR

Chisolm, Faraday, Vasquez, Robicheaux, Billy, Jack Horn, and Red Harvest?

Of course those fiercely loyal to the source material types may choose Kikuchiyo and associates.

Saul?

I’m thinking John Wick. My dogs will make friends with him, I keep the dogs with me, we’ll all be safe. Plus, Keanu Reeves is very easy on the eyes.
