If I’m doing the math right, that puts me in command of the Enterprise by Catspaw.
You're a bridge officer on the ENTERPRISE. In what episode do you say, "Screw this, I'm going home?"
I’d rather work as a waitress in Quark’s bar than continue on after experiencing the character’s in the mirror universe of DS-9.
I resign the minute I get a look at this chick on Kirk’s Facebook page. Don’t even bother with the next Starbase, let me off here.
We’ll need to make that a jumbo shuttle then, because apparently everyone is jumping ship just about then. The combo of Q and the Borg is just a bit much.
Unless of course I happen to be genre savvy, in which case, I’m staying put and working somewhere really boring on the ship that never gets mentioned in the episodes. Like sanitation, or waste-water-management or interior corridor re-painter or something.
I was raised in a strict Star Trek household. Even a mention of Hoth makes me feel dirty. I love this comment the most of all the comments in this thread. Here’s why:
A good point, and true geekdom - a little false humility, coupled with the slim possibility that some other poindexter will point out that technically a couple of episodes sooner you could be in the big chair because Chekov was not in episode whatever. The ensuing flame war then engulfs the boards.
The underlying assumption here is that we all want to be in command of the Enterprise. No need to state it overtly.
Again, no need to go into more detail. We are all assumed to know the episode and all it means.
Landing party. They were called landing parties on TOS, even when they should have been called boarding parties.
For me it would be when my request for a seat belt is turned down AGAIN. All I want is a lousy fucking seat belt!
If I were assigned to the Enterprise-D, I’d resign my commission the moment I learned they were allowing children on board. That’s even more reprehensible and idiotic than addressing female officers as “Sir.” :mad:
On the other hand, I’d be willing to put up with Picard’s incessant pontification if only he’d let me shove Wesley out an airlock twenty minutes into “Encounter at Farpoint.”
On TOS, would I at least be able to choose between hot robots and real women (Terran or otherwise)? :dubious:
Really early. Episode 2: Charlie X. Dude just made a bunch of people vanish, or transformed them into lizards, and blew up a ship from just out of scanner range. It gets fixed because a bunch of near omnipotent beings have pity on us. I’m outta here.
The events where I have to take over not only Chekhov’s duties but his pain. :eek: AAAAIIIIEEEEARRRGGGHHHH!!!
Star Trek: The D-Generation!
Three more Enterprises and it will be Star Trek: The G Spot.
…just what I came in here to say. I dunno, maybe the “get turned into a cube” thing just triggers some knee-jerk, Jungian response from me*.
After that, in, say, TNG /DS9 era…probably some point in the Dominion War, seeing as the Federation doesn’t seem to have much in the way of infantry—or infantry training, equipment, or tactical experience—and seems to haphazardly plug in Starship crewmembers as grunts, whenever convenient.
I figure I might as well just outright transfer to the Marines.**
*(Murdered and unavenged cube, at that. That ever bother anyone else?)
**Failing that, artillery and/or weapons development? Starfleet seems to be hard up for people who WANT to develop weapons, at least from time to time.
But dude, she’s a robot!
and that’s the point I leave -
At least the TOS and TNG crews had a star base they could reach. Voyager was 100’s of light years away. You’re stuck for a long ride.
I’d have to leave the Enterprise after Mudd’s women came on board. I’d follow them wherever they went.
The moment Janeway got us lost for what 7 years.
And they’re all robots.
And the oldest robot is going to remember why all the people on his planet had to die.
Really poor choice there dude! :eek:
yeah - a girl robot
When I was assigned to Voyager.
