(6,154 posts)Vulcans cause they are more likely to share knowledge with us and we could form a mutual, though somewhat cold, friendship that benefits both (a lot we can learn from each other). Klingons, cause like you said they would be a fun group to hang around with. Assuming we didn't accidentally insult them on first visit and they end up killing all of us.

That would get old kind of quick but on the other hand like you said the knowledge might be worth it.

(27,677 posts)Apparently, in Star Trek universe, the galaxy was seeded by a prior humanoid race because they were lonely.
Nothing to do with a crappy fx and make-up budget, nosiree.

Like the devolution episode, the writers demonstrated a total lack of understanding of genetics and evolution.

(81,466 posts)Glad you're here! This is a difficult one! I'm torn between Betazoid and the Q. As I age, I find myself seriously loving the way Lwaxana Troi dressed. DAMN they made her look like an empress!!! Of course, if I were Q, I could make myself look like an empress, couldn't I?

(13,324 posts)So ugly/deformed (by human standards) that they drive people insane. Something about that intrigues me, in a dark way.
