Captain: Jean Luc Picard: Now I know some say Kirk is king, and they are right, but as far as captains are concerned, Picard would be my pick. He exudes authority, and commands the respect of everyone he is in authority over.
First Officer: Spock: Spock would make the perfect counter
part for Picard. Picard is driven by his passions and tempered with the prime
directive. Spock would bring not only his logic, but his own form of passion
and compassion that no other first officer has been able to replicate or stand
up to.
Science Officer: Data of course! Who else would fill the
role? Spock is already the first officer.
Con/ Helm Officer: Tom Paris: the flyboy himself. a sense of
adventure combined with unmatched skill. Daring and charming. yes, I said
charming. he's the guy you can trust to have your back in a fire fight with the
borg then go skirt chasin' at Quarks after.
Chief engineer: Geordi La'forge; Geordi was the master,
'nuff said.
Chief Medical Officer: Dr. Phlox: Now, incase you don't know
who that is, Phlox was the doctor on board the NX-01 Enterprise. He had an
outlook that a ships doctor should have, he was as much an explorer as any
other crew member of any other series, and he was also an unconventional
doctor. Not to mention he had a grin that was not only warming, but creepy.
Chief of Security: Worf, son of Mohg: An intimidating
presence, comical seriousness, disciplined warrior mentality, master with a
batlef (or however its spelled), and dry sense of humor. What else do you need
in a security chief?
Communications Officer: Its tough to say this because I love
Uhura, but I'd have to go with Hoshi Sato. She was out of her comfort zone in
the beginning, being little more then a translator. She demonstrated the
difficulty of her job better the Uhura did, earning more respect for the
position. Of course, it was earlier in the Trek time line with less
sophisticated tech, but Uhura was too good, and made it look too easy. Hoshi
was more human.
Now, that makes up the typical series crew, or at least the
typical number of primary characters. Let's look at allies and villains.
Number one Ally: The Klingons: The Klingons would bring some
excitement into a series, with more common reoccurring characters. The warrior
race would make the show a bit more action packed then typical, as is made
evident any time they are primary characters in multi episodic series'.
Villains: An alliance of Romulans and Cardassians would make
the perfect match against the Federation and the Klingons. In fact, they might
even be a bit too much to handle at times, allowing for a more believable give
and take, win some lose some, type of progression.
Honorable mentions: These are characters that don't exactly
fit in the mold of the typical 7-8 primary trek motif, but none-the-less deserve
a spot on my dream crew;
Seven of Nine: um.. because she's tough, smart, and oh so
sexy.
Quark: I don't know where he'd fit in on a crew of a ship,
but his very nature would make the crew a bit more well, human, as opposed to
super human.Neelix: Now, I have to admit, I didn't like this character at first. But he grew on me and became the heart of the Voyager crew. Put him and Phlox on the same ship, and I'm sure many a tear jerker episodes could come.
Miles O'brien: Because every ship needs an Irishman.
Honorable mentions, allys: I couldn't complete this without
mentioning the Andorians. Once an obscure race in Star Trek, they were made
very cool in Enterprise, and in fact got a lot of that coolness from the one
reoccurring Andorian, Commander Shran played by Trek alum alien actor, Jeffery
Combs who also played many other reoccurring alien characters in DS9 such as
Weyoun, Brunt, Mirror Brunt, and Detective Kevin Mulkahey, and he played Penk,
the primary antagonist, in the Voyager episode Tsunkatse.
Honorable mentions, Villains: Ok, I don't remember what they
are called other then "genetically enhanced" people. Kahn was one,
and we saw others in Enterprise
