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.

I'd love to be a telepathic from the planet Betazed, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. And I wouldn't keep the rings in a dusty closet either.

Because they kind of look like the original 1971 McDonald's Grimace (then known as "Evil Grimace&quot , only made of shit. They could help make kids not want to go to McDonalds.

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.

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?

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