Dear Thursday: Are You Cut Out For Star Fleet Or Life On The Tardis?
- Lego Uhura by Ochre Jelly
Being a sci-fi geek, every so once in awhile I have to ponder the big, important questions in life. Questions like, “If Dr. Who asked me to be his assistant, would I go with him?” and “Would I ever join Star Fleet?”
If I weren’t married w/ a kid on the way, I would definitely join Dr. Who for his space adventures — especially if I knew how rarely assistants die under his tenure.
However, Star Fleet is a whole nother story. It seems rather dangerous and though I would love to explore space and all that, but how about if I was issued a red uniform? I want to go where no man has ever gone before, but I don’t want to die.
Sadly, I just don’t think I’m cut out for serious adventure.
So Dr. Who yes (under the right circumstances). Star Fleet no.
But how about you? Are you like me in preferring to watch your action adventure as opposed to actually living it? Or would you jump at the chance to go on a space odyssey?
It would be hard for me to say no to either. I would want etc to come along as well

I would drop everything in a heartbeat and go with dr. who. I would be less excited about the starfleet but would still go.

If I was not (a) a Wife, (b) a Mother and (c) Scared to eat new things in new places, I would totally join Star Fleet and boldly go where no Trentonian has gone before.

The first time I saw Star Trek I said to myself I wanna join Star Fleet.! Hands down it is my first choice. Star Fleet and traveling with Dr. Who seem to have the same level of danger to me.
But if Dr. Who was in one of his cute reincarnations I would say yes but I know I would get tired of running into Daleks and Dr. Who would probably immediately drop me off back home because I went all ape crazy psycho ranting and screaming "Why won't you just die damn it!!!!!" while trying to kill off all the Daleks with his sonic screw driver that I snatched from him. I don't see him putting up with that kind of behavior.
