Actors I'd love to have seen as captains.

Four pages, and not one mention of Nathan Fillion? For shame, Stonewall, for shame.

Along those lines, I would love to see Harrison Ford as a gritty Starfleet Admiral. A few others I think could pull it off...

Dame Helen Mirren
George Clooney
Mark Harmon

I could see Colin Baker as an EMH.

I could see Colin Baker as an EMH.

Would this simply be a setup for for this exchange...

Visiting Dignitary enters sickbay, EMH is activated

EMH: Please state the nature of the medical emergency
Dignitary: Gaah! Who are you?
EMH: Why, I'm the doctor

Not that this is a bad thing, mind you.

Quote by Marcus

The 1980's Tom Baker could have been a good captain, although they would have to have found a way to work in his Doctor Who scarf.

Roddy McDowall is another one I'd love to have seen as a captain.

Or Malcolm Mc... Oh wait... They used him as a bad guy.

Oh God... I can't believe I forgot him...

Sean Bean. *drool* He would make a FANTASTIC Captain. Captain Sharpe... that would be SO brilliant! :D

I'm related to Gary Seven, Robert Lansing (aka Bob Brown) was my Grandfather's cousin.

I saw a name and instantly thought of this topic, George Kennedy.

Oooh, speaking of steely eyed hero types, Patrick McGoohan (of The Prisoner) would have made a great captain. :D

He would have made the perfect captain.B)

I can totally see him staring down a Klingon captain.

see.. I have this sick fantasy.. I would LOVE to see Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as the Klingon sisters, B'etor and Lursa

I think Gerard Butler would have been a fantastic captain. If I was the casting director I would have insisted that he keep his Scottish brogue. It would have given his character a distinct personality.

That and I think accents are f'n hot. :evil:

Geoffrey Rush would make a great anything on Star Trek, preferably some really eccentric deranged scientist. Ooh, he'd make a great Soong (and Data, too)!

I lawled! xD

Vinnie Jones would be really fun to have as a captain. xD

"Oright sunshine, you got a count a free to power down them weapons; uvverwise me an mine are gonna make sure you an yours are gonna 'ave quite an unpleasant day." :3

ok I just saw this thread and had to throw in my 2 cents...

I'd have to say my top 6 would be:
Claudia Black
Ben Browder
Virginia Hey
Neil Patrick Harris
Dame Helen Mirren
Dame Judy Dench (naturally as a Starfleet Admiral)

But that's just me.

Quote by Prelate

OMG, I just pictured that and couldn't stop laughing! Drinking blood wine all day long and hanging out the their version of sickbay shooting up with stimulants and other substances to enhance their life experiences....

LOL

You may be thinking of Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley from Ab Fab.

"Sweetie darling! Darling! Sweetie!"

Of course with Lumley and Saunders as the Duras sisters, they would need the lovely Julia Sawalha as their daughter/niece who is constantly infuriated by everything they do.

Then again, the Duras sisters wouldn't be trying to destroy the Enterprise so much as constantly crashing any party on board and attempting to ravish every man there.

Dame Judy Dench (naturally as a Starfleet Admiral)

As for the first 2, just about anyone from that show would be awesome.


Dame Dench, wow, she would be perfect as the Head of Starfleet.

But of course then you need a head of engineering to show Bond, Captain Bond, the newest anti borg technology. ;)

Doesn't Star Trek have it's own "Q"? This crossover could get complicated, lol.

Q: Now pay attention, Seven of Double-Oh. This pen is not a toy. It can be used to change the gravitational constant of the universe.

Bond: That's heavy.

Huh huh huh... You said pen is. :p

sorry :3


Connery would make a great Cap'n. :3

PMSL! :-D

I think I'd quite enjoy an acerbic, irreverent, all-comedian command crew.
(n.b. It's quite possible none of the following people will be known to anybody outside of the UK. But that's your own faults!)

So I'm thinking:
> Charlie Brooker as Captain ('This week, how the Prime Directive ruined your life. Don't say it didn't. It did.');
> Dara Ó Briain in engineering (he studied theoretical physics, don't you know!);
> Stewart Lee in sickbay, not because he has any medical or pharmaceutical training, just because I'd LOVE to see his bedside manner ("Did you burn your face with an iron? Why not sue Prometheus, the god that invented fire? Or an Iron Age chieftain, for having the temerity to popularise the metal." - Stewart Lee);
> Bill Hicks on the Science station, as he would put up with a rediculous nonsense explanations;
> and Dylan Moran manning the bar, since that's where he's gonna be anyway.

Propping up the bar, you mean.

When it's not propping him up, rather. He'd make a great morale officer or ship's counsellor. :p

DM: "What does he want?!"

Receptionist: "He wants to be counselled."

"Yes but why does he have to come here?!"

"Because this is the counsellor's office."

"But why ME?! Why does he come to me?!"

"Be...cause you're ship's counsellor?"

"Yes, I know but-" a crewman walks in, interrupting him.

"What do you want?!"

"I... my girlfriend left me..."

"Here!" Thrusts a slip of paper into his hand

"What's this?"

"Voucher for the bar."

"But I-"

"It's very good, it will solve all of your problems."

"But-"

"You'll meet people, you'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life."

"You're sure?"

"Yes, now go!" Keys the door to shut in the crewman's face.
