What Sci-Fi/Fantasy Universe would you like to join?

[MrScorpio]

Includes all the sequels and spin offs









Drop me off on Risa and leave me be!

[JTG of the PRB]

1. What? No Battlestar Galactica option?!

Well frak you, you frakking toaster! :P




Edit: That said, I voted for Star Trek... :hide:

[MrScorpio]

2. The ALien/Predator option is out..

BG is IN!

[JTG of the PRB]

4. And I thank you!

Though I DID already vote for Star Trek, and I'll stick by that vote.

For now, at least!

[Mojambo]

9. Great show, but no one in their right mind should want to live in that universe.

They're in pretty bad shape.

[MrScorpio]

11. I should do another poll on which one is worse

Alien/Predator vs. Battlestar Galactica

[5LeavesLeft]

3. Gotta go

with Dr.Who. If you're with the Doctor, you're not going to get killed. I'd hate to be the new ensign on the landing crew of Star Trek!

Actually, it's the away crew, isn't it?

[MrScorpio]

6. It's "Away Team"

And it's only bad if you have a red tunic and your name is "Ricky".

However, WELCOME TO DU!

[5LeavesLeft]

13. Thank You

I thought I was going to have to post something that got me creamed before somebody said "Welcome to DU"!

[av8rdave]

5. Logan's Run, if I'm perpetually 25 years old

[Dr. Strange]

14. You know...

if you go by William Nolan's book, you'd be perpetually dead. (The final age was 21.)

[av8rdave]

53. Wow...glad I was going by the movie!

[TZ]

7. Star Trek!

I wanna be a science officer for Captain Riker....:9

[Fox Mulder]

8. Westeros.

[petronius]

22. Could be a little risky - I hope you're good at choosing your friends...

:)

[BreweryYardRat]

23. Can I have first pick of anything you leave behind?

After all, you're not coming back... ;)

[Lyric]

41. Absolutely agreed! BUT...

...I want to be the one who gets to thump Cersei's selfish, evil little ass. I'll send her weeping back to Casterly Rock to await her fate as an appetizer for Dany's black dragon, Drogon. :D :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

48. You can do that.

I'd probably take the Black and become a member of the Night's Watch and become a ranger. :)

[Lyric]

55. I always feel sorry for the guys on the Wall

Swearing to never get married is one thing. Swearing to go without nookie for the rest of your life is a whole 'nother ballgame. I think the Night's Watch is gonna end up disbanded at the end of the last book, though, because I am 100% positive that Dany and Jon are going to get married. ;)

[LeftyMom]

65. Either a very brave choice, or a very stupid one. I can't decide.

But you have excellent taste in fantasy lit, either way. :thumbsup:

[Shakespeare]

10. Other - the world in Hyperion.

LOVE that series.

[Jamastiene]

12. Gielinor

the world of Runescape...that is where I want to live.



Read all about it here:
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Gielinor

[Withywindle]

15. I'd love to travel in the TARDIS or be a sexy Viper pilot...

...but really, taking a realistic assessment of my skills, I think I'd be better off as a "seamstress" in Ankh-Morpork.

[Aristus]

16. Star Wars.

Drop me off on Alderaan about 200 years before the Battle of Yavin. Alderaan is a liberal's paradise.

Studying history and art at Alderaan University. Going for long soul-searching walks across the oceans of grass. Living as a hermit for a while in an isolated Killik mound. Checking out the babes in the Aldera nightclubs.

Those Alderaanian women...hot, Hot, HOT!

[SeattleGirl]

17. Star Trek, specifically Star Trek: TNG.

[DarkTirade]

18. I am a jedi, like my father before me.

[qnr]

19. Lexx

Everyone dies and comes back again as a different interesting personality.

[JCMach1]

24. good choice- best ship of any scifi show

not mention the hot 1/2 love slave, 1/2 cluster lizard chicks

[qnr]

30. Yeah, I deleted my comments about all the sexual stuff in the two universes :) n/t

[JCMach1]

46. Have been rewatching it on torrents recently... half-way through season 2

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Logan's Run

[petronius]

21. The Culture

(and all the denizens of GDP are invited to be Lives in my first Damage game...)

[cemaphonic]

39. Hooray for hedonistic space-hippies!

I love Banks.

[ThomCat]

25. How about the Disney universe?

Good always wins. Very few people are ever seriously sick or crippled or dead. And every story ends with people living happily ever after.

That seems like a very good world to live in, even if you have to deal with talking mice.

[petronius]

27. On paper that sounds good. However, imagine a world where you

stagger out of bed and the coffee pot (or, god forbid, the toilet paper) bursts into a cheery song about what a wonderful day it's gonna be...

:puke:

[ThomCat]

28. If we get rid of the staggering layers of greed and hurt and

deadly violence in our world then I'd put up with singing toilet paper. :)

I'd even learn to sing.

[ZombieNixon]

29. Yeah, but, then guess what you get to do with that toilet paper.

If that doesn't ruin its day, I don't know what will. :evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

26. Star Trek or the World of Warcraft

I can't decide.

[The Animator]

31. Joss Whedon is my master now...

I vote for Firefly, I want to be the Serenity's new pilot.

[laconicsax]

32. When you land that job, can you answer a few questions for me?

[DarkTirade]

43. No, he doesn't know exactly what the three switches do.

:P

[laconicsax]

51. Actually, I just want to know some basic stuff.

-How many planets and moons with gravity equivalent to G are in the sun's habitable zone?
-How do they travel between bodies fast enough to not need faster-than-light capability, but slow enough to apparently not have to worry about relativistic effects?
-Did they really take horses, cattle, and all the other terrestrial fauna seen on the show in their generational space ships for the specific purpose of using them if they ever found a habitable planet?
-Why is advanced holographic technology commonplace but directed energy weapons are seen as advanced and are exceedingly rare?

Simple stuff like that.

[DarkTirade]

59. If it's all in one system, I'd imagine their high speed wouldn't need to be ridiculously fast

and relativistic effects would be minimal.

As far as the first question, I'm sure there's an answer in some handbook somewhere.

The question about horses and cattle... well, if you're on a giant space ark, you gotta have something to eat. :shrug: And if they didn't have livestock to eat, they probably had fertilized embryos to grow once they reached their destinations.

And the last questions is answered in the show fairly well. It's not that they're so advanced and rare... it's that the government doesn't LET people get their hands on them. People like Rance Burgess can go around the laws because he pretty much owns the damn planet. But the only people who are supposed to be able to get their hands on that stuff is the Alliance.

[baldguy]

61. You'd have to fight River Tam for it

and she'd kick your ass

[Forkboy]

33. I'd like to be one of the settlers in Red Mars.

[krispos42]

34. "The Lost Regiment" series

I could bring my mechanical knowledge so the humans can surge ahead in technology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rally_Cry

[realisticphish]

58. I love those books, even though they're moronic

I love the universe it creates, but...

Ok, there are two regiments from Maine and New York (I think the artillery reg. was from NY). And somehow they happen to have balloon operators who can collect hydrogen, weapons experts, railroad experts, etc. Not, you know, a bunch of fisherman and lumberjacks. By the time they get to the "land ironclads" and rockets, I got bored.

But the first 4-5 books are fantastic, and I highly recommend them

[Alexander]

35. Star Wars. And I'd be a smuggler.

[Broken_Hero]

36. of the ones you listed, probably Star Trek

I prefer the DC Universe, followed by the Marvel Universe...:)

[The Doctor.]

37. Firefly. Missed that one too. There are so many...

What's the point of being in the Dr. Who universe if you're not the Doctor or his companion?

Can we be anyone we want?

[Forkboy]

38. Oh, and I forgot Lexx!

[Lady Freedom]

40. May The Force Be With You!

[YankeyMCC]

42. Of those choices Star Trek

It seems to safest yet still plenty of opportunity for fun and adventure, FTL and all that.

But my real vote would be for the Foundation, Trader Era from Asimov's Foundation novels.

[Inchworm]

44. Dr. Who - if I get to be a Timelord

He only has the masses to consider.

:hi:

[realisticphish]

57. ditto

It would be no fun if I couldn't travel through time

[AmyDeLune]

64. But, there's only *One* Timelord left!

Becoming a Companion should be easy enough in the Who-niverse; just hang out in London, run towards the alien invasion/scary monster(s)/screaming, fleeing crowds/ and you can't help but run into him.;)

[Phoonzang]

45. Star Wars

Seems like you'd have a lot more freedom than in Star Trek. All the aliens don't look like humans with some disfigurement as well. Also no namby-pamby Federation.

Farscape is the one sci-fi universe I WOULDN'T want to join. Seems like good ol Earth is more peaceful than that universe.

[unpossibles]

47. Stranger in a Strange Land or perhaps Lazarus Long

then again, Star Trek would be pretty sweet but I am more of a Star Wars fan - or used to be before Lucas ruined it all.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

49. Dear Mr. Scorpio

I was surprised that I voted for The Ring Trilogy - I am not even a big fan --- but I think, If I could live in one of those listed - I would like to be a fairy person or even a human....

[My Good Babushka]

50. Twin Peaks

I need to save Agent Cooper from the Black Lodge.

[Chovexani]

52. Only one vote for Dune?

I would TOTALLY be a Bene Gesserit. In fact, my friends all call me one. :P

[ashling]

54. You don't have the

Hillary Clinton Fantsy World

[TheMightyFavog]

56. What about Battletech?

I'd love me a nice Timber Wolf customized with twin ER Clan PPCs, two LRM 20 Racks, a couple ER Clan Small Lasers. Or a Fafnir with the twin Thor's Hammer Heavy Gauss rifle would be cool, too.

But the, an nice Kit Fox will do nicely. It's a seriously badass scout/recon 'Mech.

[kentauros]

60. Babylon 5, definitely :)

"Mister Garibaldi!" :P

Not to mention G'Kar:
Andreas Katsulas' answer when why he was pronouncing his character's name with a soft 'g': "I have decided to be French!"

[baldguy]

62. 1984

Oh... right.

[GreenPartyVoter]

63. Star Trek, Star Wars, Torchwood (Dr. Who), Eureka, Xena/Herc, LotR, X-Files.. you name it it looks

cool to me :)
