Random Star Trek thoughts

[SgtP3pper]

That's something I like about him. He doesn't play the "game" or be a smooth operator. I actually despise smooth operators and run away silently screaming from them. Riker is the last person I'd be attracted to in STNG world. People who are polished socially are false, or if they have moments of sincerity you cannot tell the difference. I like people who are a little awkward but sincere. All I care about is authenticity, so if I were in Star Trek land, I would very likely date Geordi, and I recently watched the entire series so all the "cringe-worthy" moments are fresh in my mind. I'd date DATA first and not try to force him to be human, then Geordi, then Troi maybe because her hair leaves me in awe.

Ok, I understand where you're coming from. But being able to win someone over with words doesn't mean your feelings are any less genuine than someone who isn't smooth. They may both be equally genuine, it's just that one understand social cues.

I remember the one where he fell in love with the simulated hologram woman based on the designer of the enterprise. I don't think Data ever did anything so cringy, haha. He's more obvlious.

Once in high school this really hot, smart girl took the same way home as me. I was too oblivious to understand what that meant. Anyway I friended her on Facebook and she's still pretty awesome with really good politics and everything.

I like how Spock's character changed after his resurrection in Part 3. He becomes more childlike in Star Trek IV and V. In Star Trek VI he shows slight outward emotions, for instance he is PISSED when he finds out Valeris is a co-conspirator. Reborn Spock seems generally more mellow, wise, and at ease with his human half. To me, older Spock is the ideal to which the stoic philosophers might aspire.

 

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

If I were on the shows, I would date characters in the following order:

TOS:
Nurse Chapel
Uhura
Yeoman Rand
Any of the characters Diana Muldaur guested as on TOS, because she was a babe.

TAS:
Lt. M'Ress

TNG:
Ensign Ro
Kehylahr
B'etor
Ensign Lefler (Ashley Judd)
Dr Crusher
Tasha Yar
Deanna Troi
Dr Pulaski
Lwaxana Troi (older thirsty women are hot in the sack)

DS9:
Grilka (Quark's klingon wife)
Jadzia Dax
Kira Nerys
Leeta (Rom's woman)
Kasidy Yates (Sisko's woman)
Ziyal (Dukat's daughter)
Ezri Dax
Kai Winn (older thirsty women are hot in the sack and she'd pull off some kinky Nurse Ratched shit)

Voyager:
The alien chick ensign Kim gets in trouble for boning and contracting space STDs from in that one episode.
Belanna
Seven
Janeway
Belanna full klingon version when she got split in two in that one episode

Enterprise:
Hoshi
T'Pol
The female captain of the Enterprise's sister ship Columbia

 

[Totenkindly]

Discovery:
- Book
- Christopher Pike
- Ash Tyler (if he was written consistently)
- Lorca

TNG
- Ensign Ro
- Data

DSN
- Jadzia Dax

Star Trek movies
- Kirk (played by Chris Pine)
- Christopher Pine (played by Bruce Greenwood)
- McCoy (played by Karl Urban)

 

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

I was being silly with my list, but hypothetically, if I had to pick characters I thought were good "relationship material", then I would probably go for Jadzia or Kasidy Yates. Both seem like fun loving people who would help bring me out of my shell a bit. I couldn't be with someone like Troi because I would get tired of being read and feeling like I had to share my feelings all of the time. Plus she'd eat all of the chocolate ice cream.

 

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

TNG:
Sonya Gomez
Ensign Ro
Dr. Crusher
Troi (More physically my type than Dr. Crusher but less so personality wise)
Tasha Yar (Her character didn't really get too much time to get developed, so kind of a blank slate; I suppose that was why the actress quit. I think they gave Sonia Gomez more of a personality and she had a bit part in two episodes.)

those salamanders are smooooth and glossy

those salamanders are smooooth and glossy

I find the moustache things on their snouts exude a certain raw erotic charisma.

I forgot about Sonya. Man, TNG was not short on cute ensigns.

apparently tribble borg are a thing, at least in expanded universe lore

Tribble of Borg

Tribble of Borg was a non-sentient animal lifeform, a breed of Tribbles that were cybernetically enhanced with Borg technology due to assimilation. (STO - Common Ground mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", C-Store item) The Tribble of Borg was connected to the Borg Collective but not part of...

CUTE!

I forgot about Sonya. Man, TNG was not short on cute ensigns.

It's too bad she wasn't made a semi-regular like they had originally planned. Major complaint I have with TNG is that they threw away side and supporting characters like disposable razors. I liked it whenever there were familiar junior crewmembers reappearing on the shows. DS9 elevated supporting guest stars to being equal to the main cast in compelling storylines and character arcs. Voyager did a decent job of bringing back supporting crew members but it was rare they got the development DS9 supporting characters got. Even TOS had a few semi regular guest crewmembers like Chapel, Kyle and Rand (too bad Rand was let go after season 1, they really did Grace Lee Whitney wrong).

Oh and why didn't Spock ever end up with Nurse Chapel in the prime timeline? They would have been perfect for each other. Chapel had a kind of distanced, clinical nature that I think would suit a vulcan mate well. I mean it was made obvious there were unrequited feelings with both parties

 

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

poor Nurse Chapel had it bad. She was hot for that spock cock

 

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

but he always spock blocked her. damn she was fine

Sally Kellerman, MASH and Star Trek Actress, Dies at 84

oh i saw that earlier

she was also good in Back to School. I think I always assumed she was british because of that movie. She had that weird mid-atlantic accent that is hard to peg to either side of the pond

if they hadn't brought back khan, who would be another good villain for Star Trek II?

My top picks would be:

Kor, Kang or Koloth (or better yet, all three, and I could see them basically doing what the klingons were doing in ST3, attempting to steal the Genesis secrets)
Captain Tracey (there would certainly be motive for revenge there)
Gary Mitchell
unnamed female Romulan commander

 

[Totenkindly]

Gary Mitchell

Yeah, my opinion was that a redo of the Gary Mitchell thing would have been a lot better than the crappy Khan rehash/gurge.
