Personally, I can't imagine having Capt. Kirk as my C.O. I think if I were a crew member I'd have arranged a transporter 'accident' on the first trip out.Next Generation all the way, Picard would be cool to work with.
My favorite is Galaxy Quest. The Thermian octopoid chick was just plain hot. ;)I think she's in some CSI type show now, trivia isn't my game. The Stargate storyline is pretty cool but nothing compares to the Foundation Trilogy IMO (Isaac Asimov).

I think the Explorers had definite goals besides their curiousity-
spices, gold, slaves, territory, sea lanes, etc.
You can have my ticket! :-)
Are you saying that given the opportunity to travel the galaxy without restriction you'd pass?
Wow. I wouldn't even hesitate. My speedo and blowup doll would be packed before I finished accepting.
