Discussion Any Star Trek fans? Let's have a quiz...

[Forever Sleep]

Any question- it's fine to pass on. Invent new questions, whatever. Here we go:

Who would you most like to mind meld with?

What food or drink would you ask for from the replicator?

Where would you choose to visit on the holodeck?

Would you prefer to be an alien or human?

Which captain would you want to serve?

You meet the Borg. Do you try to: kill them, join them or, leave them in peace?

What's a favourite clip?

What's your favourite Star Trek parody?


Here are my answers:

Who would you most like to mind meld with? Either someone funny or exceptionally kind. Maybe Gary Larson (cartoonist.) I love the way he viewed the world. If we could go back in time- maybe Jesus. Try and figure out the truth.

What food or drink would you ask for from the replicator? I think I'd like to try alien food. Out of Earth food though, something chocolatey.

Where would you choose to visit on the holodeck? An underwater city like Atlantis.

Would you prefer to be an alien or human? Still human probably. Hard to imagine having an alien body.

Which captain would you want to serve? Captain Jean-Luc Picard or maybe Kirk from the film series.

You meet the Borg. Do you try to: Kill them, join them or, leave them in peace? I think it would have to be kill- they 'kill' or, assimilate everything else.

What's a favourite clip?


What's your favourite Star Trek parody? Probably this:



For context, Frasier had asked a colleague at work to translate his speech for his son's bar mitzvah into Hebrew. But, he was mad at him so, he translated it into Klingon instead.

I also grew up with this song. Kind of irritating but, the lyrics are funny:



Plus, any 'Black Mirror' fans? USS Callister was really good.

Who would you most like to mind meld with? - Seven of Nine (her mind is as attractive as her body)

What food or drink would you ask for from the replicator? - cyanide pill

Where would you choose to visit on the holodeck? - hell (unless it looks exactly where I already am)

Would you prefer to be an alien or human? - alien (I already am)

Which captain would you want to serve? - Kirk

You meet the Borg. Do you try to: kill them, join them or, leave them in peace? - join them, that's life

YAY! Fellow Trekkers (or Trekkies if you want to be old school). This made my day!

Who would you most like to mind meld with?

I think someone like John Nash (RIP, A Beautiful Mind) would be interesting. He had such a unique view on how the word works. He saw movement and patterns so differently from everyone else. It would be so cool to see how things go on in his head.

What food or drink would you ask for from the replicator?

Probably some rare, exotic food that I can not get normally. Possibly also a bottomless sushi buffet.

Where would you choose to visit on the holodeck?

I would program in some fantasy worlds from books/movies so I could visit them "IRL". Probably the world of Earthsea, Wheel of Time, Mushishi, somewhere with lots of dragons.
Also probably loading in one of my 50 Minecraft worlds and just playing Minecraft for realsies.

Would you prefer to be an alien or human?

My oc is an alien so yeah.

Which captain would you want to serve?

Picard.

You meet the Borg. Do you try to: kill them, join them or, leave them in peace?

I treat them like bees. I would not engage them unless they threatened me.

What's a favourite clip?

This is just a mean question... How can I pick just one?????
I dunno, something with Data. Or the time Scotty drank an alien under the table.

What's your favourite Star Trek parody?

Golly, I have not seen any parodies. I do really like The Orville which is basically a legally distinct TNG series.

BONUS NEW QUESTIONS:
Which alien planet would you like to visit?
I would love to go to Klingon.

Would you be willing to be transported (teleported)? I.E. would you be willing to have your body torn apart at a molecular level and reassembled elsewhere?
This is a tough one. I would be extremely hesitant as thinking about it too much puts me into a small existential crisis. I would probably give in after a while just out of convenience.

Would you want to learn any alien languages?
I would love to learn Klingon (can we see a pattern).

What position would you want to serve on a ship?
Helm/pilot

Ha ha- yes, I'd say I was a mild Trekkie. I probably like Star Wars equally though. Do you have a preference there?

Great answers and questions. Let me think...

Which alien planet would you like to visit?
I know what you mean. The Kingons as a race really fascinated me. I really admired their sense of honour. Plus, their space ships were super cool.

Would you be willing to be transported (teleported)? I.E. would you be willing to have your body torn apart at a molecular level and reassembled elsewhere?
The thought of it frightens me too but, probably I'd risk it. I think the worry about being an inconvenience shirking my duties would get to me more.

Would you want to learn any alien languages?
I don't really have the patience for human languages, so it's unlikely I would.

What position would you want to serve on a ship?
Something more behind the scenes I think. Definitely nothing flying, steering or shooting!

Actually, it's one of those hypothetical questions I've asked myself. Would I even be happy on the Starship Enterprise? Lol. Even though I'm a loner and prefer to work alone, I think being in a supportive team would be nice. I think I'd enjoy the sense of community and support on a ship. Plus, the respect people hold for one another- usually. Working towards a shared goal would be good too.

Really not sure what I'd do in terms of work and be happy though. I'm creative. My natural leanings are practical and, I'm imagining a lot would be computer lead. I've hated customer service roles. Plus, I wouldn't want the pressure/ responsibility of command. I guess something in engineering would be the closest. It probably seems ridiculous to think about so thoroughly. I think it played in to the whole: Would anything make you happy?

Another question: Who would you most like to be friends with? I'd like to be friends with Data. La Forge seemed like a nice guy too. A good boss I would think. I would love Worf but, be kind of scared of him at the same time.

 

[Forveleth]

Nice answers! I do not know if I would serve on the Enterprise per say. I would probably want to pilot a little cargo ship. I want to travel everywhere. I think I have a ship assigned to where I live but I forget what it is (also not going to doxx myself).

Ha ha- yes, I'd say I was a mild Trekkie. I probably like Star Wars equally though. Do you have a preference there?

I grew up watching Star Trek episodes every week when they aired. Star Trek was definitely my childhood. I saw the original Star Wars trilogy when I was younger but never got into the universe. Did read a couple of the "Tales From" books but that was it. I have wanted to read extended universe books from both series honestly.

Another question: Who would you most like to be friends with?

That is a difficult question. I find Data fascinating but I feel like I could take his analytical mind only so long. I would honestly probably be friends with Riker. I love how laid back he is and his sense of humor is amazing (also might have had a crush on him when I was younger ). I would love to nerd out over ships with Scotty. As I suffer from anxiety, a Vulcan friend would be nice to help ground me when I am worrying about stuff. I would want to be friends with everyone!
