The Question, Answer Game

[Distracted]

I don't remember enough about DS-9 to do that.

[Ezinma88]

Q: Hook up each member of the Enterprise crew with a member of the DS9 crew (like couples). You can ignore ships in either case... of course, if no one wants to split up Trip and T'Pol, I'd understand. The pitchfork-bearing crowd can be raucus

Let's see..... I'm going to just stick to the main guys here. There don't seem to be enough eligible women on DS9, for my tastes.

Break TnT up? Is that a flying pig I see outside my window?....

Archer and Kira N - 2 very dominant personalities. There's something very sexy about that..... ::epiphany:: That may be why I enjoy watching ENT so much.

Malcolm with Dax (before the writers went crazy and replaced her with Dax-Lite)

Hoshi and Julian Bashir

Travis and Captain Sisko's bird (I forget her name). It wouldn't be love, but two experienced space-farers would probably have picked up all sorts of tricks. You've got to practice skills or they atrophy

Phlox? Hmmm... I'm stumped on that one. DS9 WAS a major port, so I'm sure he'd find someone.....

Q: My favourite Trek episode title is 'For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky'. What's yours?

Hayes

Amanda

[Distracted]

That's my favorite title too. My next favorite is "The Trouble with Tribbles". So alliterative.

Q: If you could be Denobulan and have four spouses, would you think that was a good thing or a bad thing?

[Lady Rainbow]

Depends on who my spouses were...are they Trip, Malcolm, Travis and Matt Hayes? Of course, if my spouses were jerks, I might think differently.

Hoshi, T'Pol and Cutler: what would be their favorite perfume scent?

They had a really interesting piece by John Stossel I believe, on a news magazine maybe a week ago, about polygamy. They interviewed a bunch of couples, none of which were Mormon, to kind of debunk the idea that they were all Mormons, or that they were all situations where women were subservient. The interesting deal was that in one of them, a couple of a black man and two black women, the man/woman were a totally normal marriage until the woman actively sought her best friend to join the family. The other case was one in which the man suggested to the woman that they bring in another woman and she got super upset but then got over it and apparently (this was like 15 years ago) she's totally happy with it now. Interesting news story.

I'm answering the Q anyway:

I have a FEW favorites: "The Darkness and the Light", "Looking for Par'machi in All the Wrong Places", "In a Mirror, Darkly", "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" and "Our Man Bashir"

Show me a woman who couldn't use a wife. I know I'd like one. I just don't want her sleeping with my husband! And, okay, I'd probably be upset if she wanted to decorate the house with unicorns and shit.

I think "Similitude" is an elegant title. Least favorite in every way (title and ep): "Spock's Brain."

I'm not answering the question. Not a perfume person. That could be really annoying in a spaceship if you ask me. But I do suspect T'Pol would like the pomengranate salt & oil scrub that keeps me happy through the winter.

[Elessar]

I don't know enough about fragrances.

[Distracted]

T'Pol, if she wore any scent at all, would probably like something herbal and very subtle, like chamomile or sandalwood, or maybe something fruity... like peach.

Hoshi I can see liking jasmine. Cutler is difficult, since she had practically no character development for me to hang my hat on. Maybe something alien since she seems to go for the exotic?

And yes, I could DEFINITELY use a wife.

Q: A friend of mine is a fantasy writer, and she's struggling to write a story where the main character is a slender fellow with pointed ears and long hair...and she doesn't want him to be an elf. When I pointed out that if she wants to be truly original she can't make him green blooded or logical either, she laughed at me, but I've always thought that Vulcans resemble elves. What about a Star Trek/LOTR crossover? What do you think of the idea?

Check this out, Dis. This is from Kaleidoscope Cat on ff.net

It's called "The Shadow Riders" and is a LOTR/ENT crossover. Malcolm and Hoshi ends up in the LOTR universe. It's actually pretty decent, if you're a fan of both series. I'm not gonna reveal any spoilers, but it's definitely NOT your typical crossover story.

I am SO reading that. It's entered my mind a number of times as I've been re-watching LOTR with my friend.

[Distracted]

Incredible story. I'm amazed.

[JadziaKathryn]

Well, I'm not a crossover fan myself.

Q: Best and worst time travel episodes, any series?

[Elessar]

A:

Worst: Carpenter Street and maybe also Storm Front
Best: Trials and Tribble-ations!!

Q: Marc Alaimo once claimed at a con that he and Casey Biggs had attempted, for a time, to convince the studios to launch a Cardassian spinoff series. Would you have watched it?

God, no! But then I had also given up on watching DS9.

You have a Vulcan houseguest for the weekend. He/she has never been out of the Vulcan compound before. What do you do with him/her?

Lock them in the supply closet with some tea and pack of candles? Come back home after work and discover they've gotten out, rearranged all your furniture, organized your clothes by color and type, washed all your dishes, replaced all your food with vegetables and hung posters of Surak all over your walls?
