...I think I'd like to be a Vulcan. Logic, clever quips, excellent eyebrows. Could get a grip over those pesky emotions too (bloody anxiety).

Anyone else think Spock is dreamy?

I've always quite fancied being able to do a mind meld. But if I was going to be any species I think I'd go for Bajoran. Ideally without the whole Cardassian occupation thing.

Alternatively Trill would be good. Very intelligent and level headed.

I would love to be Vulcan if not I would like being a betazed

Being a joined Trill would be fascinating! All those lifetimes and memories. And great spots, too.

I'd prefer to be a Klingon. It's so far away from my natural inclination, it would be an enjoyable change! And I agree with their attitude to dead bodies and Worf is well hot.

Oh! I'd forgotten Betazed. Hmm. May have to rethink...

Of course not all Trill are joined. Is it as glamorous and exciting being un-joined?

What's one of those things that's round and furry and breed lots

Really cuddly. I want one of those.

Tribbles.

I'd like to be a Klingon too. All that kinky sex.

I'm not sure if it is, LetThere! Probably depends on if you're scrubbing the floors of starships or in the Captain's seat Grin I got the impression that being joined was something that all Trill were expected to aspire to, even though only a small minority were able to be joined (due to numbers and other reasons revealed in the series). Seemed like a lot of pressure and a bit grim in some ways.

You'd still be in the Star Trek universe though, eh?

Tribbles, Laurie.

But you wouldn't just have one for long. Unless you starve it, of course.

Being a Betazoid would probably be a safer bet, what with everyone being telepathic. That would be very exciting.

Laurie the trouble with Tribbles is that you can't just have one, IIRC...

Hmm.

Maybe I'll try a different quadrant.

Telaxians, perhaps?

No not telaxians. Neelix is the most annoying character in Star Trek and they all have mullets.

Aww I like Neelix. He reminds me of a labrador puppy.

Neelix was a bit divisive, eh? Remember the episode where Tuvok strangled him to death (in the holosuite, not actually)? I remember a lot of people cheering that on.

Is that why they left him in the Delta Quadrant? Janeway was finding him too irritating so she ditched him? Bet she threatened to blow up the outpost if he didn't leave. Poor old Neelix.

Of course. Live long and prosper.
