U.S.S. Dorkerprise

So I know I have only seen a few episodes of Enterprise and the few I have seen were before they even changed their mind and renamed it Star Trek: Enterprise, as they should have done in the beginning. And yet I am extremely hyped about the finale. When I see the preview for the 'final episodes' of this series of 'television's most enduring franchise' I get excited. Not quite in honor of it, but at least in my mind relating to it, Michael and I, being the humongus dorks that we are, have decided to put together our own Star Trek crews and decide how they would face off. We each picked eight characters and I've been working on a basic scenario for the last few days. I think my crew would kick his crew's ass, and he feels the same way about his crew. Go ahead and give us some feedback about what may happen! Sadly, no Enterprise crew members made the cut. Maybe if I would get around to watching the show...

Michael Me
Ship U.S.S. Voyager N.X. Defiant
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Benjamin Sisko
First Officer James T. Kirk Ezri Dax
Doctor Julian Bashir Leonard "Bones" McCoy
Engineer B'Elanna Torres Reginald Barclay
Security Natasha Yar Kira Nyers (I originally chose Ro but I'm reluctantly giving her up because of a duplication)
Helmsman Ro Laren Tom Paris
Science/OPS Spock Kathryn Janeway
Miscellaneous Guinan Worf

My scenario involves a learning session between Q and his son q. I will post the scenario after I go over it with Michael and we finalize it. Until then, live long and prosper!

Qop!
T'PAU: Live long and prosper, Spock.
SPOCK: I will do neither. I have killed my captain and my friend.

i still believe that Michael's crew is the best...I'm sorry, maybe I'm biased but Guinan as a misc crew member kicks Worf's ass.

bblp

I agree that Guinan is a much more interesting character and I'd rather see more of her story, but Worf can do so much more practical jobs and he totally kicks ass. As I said before, Michael's crew is definitely the more popular one, but I think mine could take his. :)
