Don't be ridiculous, Leonard. I do not.

This seems like an illogical question - is it mentally sound to wish you were another individual when the opportunity is, at best, improbable?

dctr_mccoy May 29 2011, 20:47:40 UTC

You do so. I don't think he notices though. Shame...

In fact, I think its quite healthy to be able to vocalize dreams and wishes like this. The fact that its improbably is what makes it fun.

You do know what fun is, do you not, Commander?

cso_spock May 29 2011, 20:52:28 UTC

And how would you know, unless you were watching either of us?

I suspect our definition of "fun" diverges on several topics, Doctor.

dctr_mccoy May 29 2011, 20:57:47 UTC

Yes, I was watching you. It is one of those things I do that I consider 'fun'.

And you? Can you give me an honest example of what you do for fun?

I would love a chance to order Jim around...

I wouldn't have thought of Admiral Pike but he's a great choice.

dctr_mccoy May 30 2011, 02:13:16 UTC

Isn't he? What about you, Rand? Who would you like to be, for a little while?

I have it on good authority he can't say no to a woman who takes charge.

I'm going to post her in a few minutes sf_girl_friday May 30 2011, 02:24:20 UTC

I'm not sure yet. I have a better idea of who I wouldn't want to be more than who I'd want to be.

Really? I'm going to have to keep that in mind, 'cause Jim in a collar would be so hot.

I always wanted to be Captain Kirk when I was a kid. I had a yellow t-shirt and the nozzle off my mum's garden hose so I could run around zapping bad guys.

dctr_mccoy May 30 2011, 02:53:31 UTC

Damn, Karl, I bet you were cute as shit.

You still wanna be Jim, or are you happy enough being me?

geekiwi May 30 2011, 03:34:55 UTC

Playing you is a dream, but no offense - I wouldn't want to actually be any of you. Too much stress and potential danger. Like, I'd have a nervous breakdown within days if I had to be in charge of the health of however many people are on the ship. Eight hundred? Jesus.

dctr_mccoy May 30 2011, 20:13:22 UTC

I think you'd be fine. These people are pretty hearty folk. And most of them can be fixed with a hypo or some time off their feet with a regen unit.

(Now Jim, he's the one you have to watch out for...)

erudite_actor May 30 2011, 19:57:18 UTC

I'd like to be Jim for a day. Though I suspect if I handed his baby back to him with so much as a scratch on her, he'd be out for blood.

dctr_mccoy May 30 2011, 20:10:18 UTC

What sorts of things would you do, if you were Jim for a day? I wonder if I could tell the difference between you two...

erudite_actor May 30 2011, 20:32:15 UTC

I bet you could help me come up with some ideas. Oh, I don't know. Sitting in the chair, exploring space and being generally awesome. Maybe an away mission. I'm sure you'd find a way.

dctr_mccoy May 30 2011, 20:43:38 UTC

"...being generally awesome."

Oh ho, you could be Jim right now. Two peas in a pod, you are.

You know, we need an away mission to the planet of doppelgangers.

It would involve an intensive and simultaneous physical examination of the two of you. Hope you don't mind.

I think I'd like to be Commander Spock. That brainpower makes me jealous.
