Since a Rocket *is* a science-fictiony kind of thing, figured it was a good time to set forth my version of the cast&crew of the USS Rocketprise as it sets forth on its five-to-ten-year journey, boldly going where no Rockets team has gone (for the last seven years anyway) So it's (left to right) the person, who they would play, and why.. Cato - that lizard dude that Kirk had to kill with a cardboard tube full of gunpowder and onyx.. only Cato is slightly slower and less likely to get a rebound MoT - Worf (only bigger and hairier) Griffin - wesley crusher - the kid who grew up really tall really fast and saved the day all the time Torres - Picard .. uhhhhmm.. bald guy? Moochie - a Tribble cuz he has a tribble on his head Cat - LaForge - blind black guy (blinded by his own bling) Ming - Sulu - uhhhhh chinese guy? Nachbar - Chekov 'Where are nuclear wessels?' Steve - Kirk the leader, calls everyone 'lover' CD - Organians .. really old, all-powerful Rudy - Chewbacca (I know I know, wrong universe, but come ON, he's definitely Chewbacca) Sam Cassell - honorable mention, - Any time there was ever an alien head on any viewscreen KT - The commander of Deep Space Nine - um, black guy with a beard? Rice - Picard - see Picard reason above Langhi, Collier, Brown, Maddux, Maloney, Drew, etc etc etc - red shirts Keith Jones - McCoy - Damnit Rudy, I'm a trainer, not a miracle worker! (when asked why he can't get the red shirts to play like NBA players) ah well, a little raw I know... who did I leav out?
heh. It's going to be a LOOOOOOONG summer. (I'll play along a little bit though) Archer : Franchise - the leader, but outside observers are always doubting him. Tucker: Tmo - the captain's buddy! T'Pol : Rice - old school, uncomfortable, but learning to work within the new ways. Cat: Reed - answer to everything is "shoot, shoot, shoot." Mayweather : Griffin - young and skilled, but learning on the job. Sato : Ming - the newcomer. Expect growing pains, but also capable of extraordinary things Phlox : Moochie - always good-natured, necessary to keep the crew running.
I'm gonna ask CLUTCH to ban your sorry ass!!! Star Trek Sucks?? Star Trek Sucks?? Well......uhhh.......you suck!! " I ....can't.....get...used to.........Cato.....sucking.......so...bad!! " - Johnny Kirk - Kirk's Great-Great Grandfather 2005
Doesn't star trek have a fan forum. Of course, they would probably gripe about the Rockets part of things. Maybe they should have a Star Trek Rockets fan forum. Either way, if I never read another star trek rockets mix post for the rest of my life, I think I would be okay.
This is going to be a long summer... Why don't we figure out which Rocket is most like the seven dwarfs... We once had a Rocket called Sleepy (Floyd)! The trainer could be Doc? Whatever!!!
well done Nero. I must admit that I haven't seen an episode of Star Trek since I was a wee lad ( the Shattner Nimoy era), but the descriptions you give make the post. Bravo.
Actually, Sulu (George Takai) was Japanese. Anyway, here's my list: Cato - Quark - Ferengi from Deep Space Nine. Loves money, but avoids confrontation whenever possible. MoT - Spock (minus the reason and logic). Stronger than other humans, but prefers to avoid displays of strength. Rice - Captain Kirk from the later movies - Used to be impressive, but now just an old guy trying to revive his glory days. Cat - McCoy - Damnit Jim I'm a shooting guard, not a point guard! Steve - Worf - Relies on passion and physical ability rather than his brain. Griffin - Data - doesn't show much emotion, but is often the best person for the job. Ming - Wesley Crusher - Has the potential to be a great Starfleet Officer; he just needs the chance to prove it. Moochie - Odo - The shapeshifter (constantly changing hair) and security officer (incessant refusal to allow anyone else to touch the ball) on Deep Space Nine. KT - Scottie - He's "givin it all he's got", but he just can't be the starter in our logjam at the PF. Nachbar and Torres - Sulu and Chekov - Important characters, but not the focus of the show. RT - Deanna Troy - The empath that has to soothe the fragile egos of all the players. Langhi, Collier, Brown, Maddux, etc. - The token hensens that never makes it back with the rest of the away party.
