I find the lack of Elim Garak disturbing.

Also 12 and 3 have the same person on different timelines.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Including Garak would be unfair to the others unless he was paired with Neelix or something.

Be honest you'd still choose it

[–] yuri@pawb.social 4 points 3 months ago

get out of my head!

[–] weariedfae@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago
  1. I'd ask Picard about archaeology. Chakotay and I would be fascinated by his lectures for a few hours then we'd all quietly read and probably nap.
[–] Corgana@startrek.website 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Normally this meme format is difficult because there are no good choices. But this time there are no bad ones!

Still, I think I'd have to go with 3.

[–] audiomodder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is love to sit by Sisko, he’s hands down my favorite. But I’m not sure I could take Shatner’s Kirk trying to unconsentually kiss me the whole flight.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just distract him with a mirror. Or mention that you've never seen an interracial same-sex kiss between two captains before.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 11 points 3 months ago

lol

That would 100% do it

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I feel like with Sisko and Kirk it would be either Sisko fanboying over Kirk or an unending argument between the two, or possibly the first leading into the second. In either case, I don't want to be in the middle of that.

[–] sirblastalot@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 months ago

Sisko and Kirk have already had a crossover episode, so I have to assume the entire journey would just be Sisko pitching tribbles at Kirk.

3 feels like the "right" answer but 7 would absolutely be the most fun

[–] _NetNomad@kbin.run 4 points 3 months ago

actually either i would probably have to switch seats with O'Brien halfway through because Mariner keeps poking the back of his head and then turning away when he turns around

[–] ipacialsection@startrek.website 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Saru and Kelvin Spock would probably get along really well. Everyone else would be having heated arguments that I think would be amazing to witness, if not take part in.

I think I'd most like to sit between Mariner and Pike, though.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Came to the same conclusion, that Saru/Spock would be an enlightening trip.

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

My first thought was Picard because we'd both quietly read books we brought along, but then again I wouldn't want to miss out on all the crazy space cowboy tales Kirk would share with me. So, in conclusion, Kirk it is.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

3, 6 or 9, damn, no 7 of 9

I'm hopin' she can sock it to me one more time

Low, get low

Get low, get low

To the viewport

To the bulkhead

'Til sweat drop down my tribbles

All these yeoman crawl

Y’all fleet-fleet, microbrains

Y’all fleet-fleet Q damn

[–] QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

7 for life. We'd all be plastered and singing klingon opera by the end of it.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly blown away no one has said 2 yet. That’s primo b plot setup right there.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Nope. Not O'Brien. I wanna watch not be part of it.

If I was told I had to choose between 11 or 2, I'll take 2. I love Boims but I'd end up using him to hit Burnham.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mother of God, anywhere but 6

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

That’s the one I’d choose!!!

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

For me it's gotta be 5 or 7.

Those seem like the best pairings where both would make you feel comfortable and accepted no matter how outta your depth you are.

All the other pairings have at least one person who would put me on edge for one reason or another no matter how much I like/repect the character.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

5 would feel daunting until the ice is broken, or knowing that Una isn't in a serious mood for me... 7 though whef, yes please! That amazing pike personality, and the fun of Mariner would make it such a wonderful trip.

[–] MrFoenBox@startrek.website 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wasn't Pike ready to shoot mariner and boimler out the airlock by the end of their little adventure? I think 5 is the only real choice, 12 hours is enough time i feel to move past both of their initial icy walls.

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

He kinda was, but I saw it more as an exasperated dad than actual dislike.

[–] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

1 if that is Emperor Georgiou. The shit talking would be nonstop entertainment and I’m all in for that. Well, she might kill me, but that’s not a bad way to get out of a 12 hour shuttle trip.

Edit. Fuck, she might put me in an agonizer when we arrive. Maybe this isn’t the right path. But she is super hot and interesting so maybe still worth.

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

9 or 12 because TNG is the Star Trek series that I’ve seen the most of.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

11 is going to have the most nerding out. I need that in my life, always

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

2, because then I get to sit between the two most attractive people in the galaxy.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

WTF 10! Why is this a debate?

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

7 is heaven, sir.

[–] Kyatto@leminal.space 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

12 for sure, I just want to be hit on by Riker.

[–] USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

12 is what I want to pick as well, just because I feel like Riker and Kirk are some of the more gregarious characters, and would make for the best conversation, but that would be three relatively burly dudes in one another's space for a pretty long time.

I think ultimately I would have to pick 8.

12 hours?

8 or 10. Put in my head phones, put on my audiobook, no one's bothering me.

[–] autonomous@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

2, T'Pol and O'Brien would have no difficulty keeping to themselves so it would be a quiet journey, at least if you were in a soundproof cabin with the two.

If this is open area seating you would be able to hear many of the other characters from anywhere you sit, even if you were depressurizing outside the ship, so there's simply no hope until you finish depressurizing at least.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Seat 9. I’d say Picard and Chakotay would be pretty mellow and level-headed unless Chakotay’s feeling extra resentful about Picard’s handling of Marquis/Cardassian Neutral Zone stuff. It’s then insulated from some of the crazier pairs with level-headed duos, or at least balanced duos (e.g Raffi and Spock or Kira and Progeny). The exception might be Sisko and Kirk, who would either get along quite well or drive each other to the brink of insanity. Either way, (1 assassinated Romulan senator later) I can live with it. Though maybe after the first hour, I’ll have seat 12 to myself after Riker and Kelvin Kirk go to sick bay for competitive chair-sitting-related injuries…😏

[–] Dud@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

12 would probably be fun, I feel like it would become a friendly competition of story one upmanship.

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If Spock takes the bait then 10. I feel like I'd learn a lot.

[–] Zathras@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago
  1. I think both Kira and Gwyn seem pretty down to earth and would have interesting stories and opinions on various topics. Not overly dramatic nor boring. Would know when to shut up. I would enjoy hearing advice Kira would give to Gwyndala as a young woman growing into her own. Neither companion would be overly boastful, maybe a tad critical, but their struggles bring an interesting angle on how they view life.

The can; I think the replicator is broken. 🤢
