“Pick a Star Trek character to help with your group project!”
As someone who knows nothing about Star Trek, this was a tricky day! Surprised I got as many snowmen as I did
Yay! My theme! I think I'd choose Seven, or The Doctor.
One-third of my regular Theme Thursday suggestion 😁 It depends on the project, but for most things it'd be Seven of Nine.
thats a good one!!! and a great theme overall!
Got to be Data! xXx💜xXx
lore?
My man Geordi LaForge would be the ideal group project guy. Used to working problems under pressure, ultra nicest guy, handsome man—he’s the whole package!
YES hes so amazing + id have a billion questions about his glasses!
The Doctor. He's on a first-name basis with the Starfleet Database, can always maintain composure under intense pressure, and the inevitable confusion with that time traveling Gallifreyan from one universe away would make for delicious trolling opportunities for underperforming group members.
My husband got frustrated that the crossword said Gal Dukat instead of Gul Dukat 😂
Chekov - underrated in his brilliance!
YES!!!!! i was always so obsessed with him!!! had a huge crush on the actor who played him in the most recent movies (may his memory be a blessing)!
I went to a Q&A with Chekov at a ComeicCon and he just seems like such a nice guy! I'll always get grossed out by the ear worm thing that Khan does
Awesome theme, totally loved it! Thanks!
Can you let us know who wins so we know you are lying about these prizes?
Anyone with a Red Shirt, because if they begin to pluck on the group’s nerves, you know they are invariably gonna get fragged anyway!!!
Huh? Haha
For those who aren’t Trekkies, in almost every episode Capt Kirk beams down to a planet, usually with Spock, McCoy, and a “security officer” who traditionally wear red shirts. Without fail, the red shirt gets killed before the opening credits!!
Grew up on Star Wars. Never seen Star Trek.
same here!
YES! I still wish on stars hoping they are the millennium falcon that I can change my Birthday to May 4th
We were a VERY faithful household.
Kirk or McCoy (Just so I could stare at either of them 😍)
I said Riker for the humor(him and chairs) but after reading this...I agree, McCoy, but also for the humor. I would have to see how many, "I'm a Dr, not a ____" I could get him to do!
spock
i loved this theme!! ik many in the comments havent seen star trek but i really encourage everyone to do so, esp the original series bc it was one of the most progressive + trailblazing shows that paved sooo much from social issues to science fiction as a whole!
id probably pick data but there are so many smart characters in the all the shows thatd be so fun to work with!
Never watched it! Today was rough.
Ditto aka Same
I’ve never watched a second of Star Trek 😬
I just played 🪨 📄✂️🦎🖖🏻. Spock won, so there’s that. Also, all I know about Star Trek is whatever was mentioned on The Big Bang Theory LOL
youd love it!!!! esp deep space nine it's very fun!
Beam me up, Scotty!
Scotty can fix anything!
I know no one😭😭
i'm a star wars fan not a trekkie
Riker, just so I could give him increasing taller chairs
Omg!!! You actually made me spray my tablet with seltzer with that one!
It bites when you know nothing whatsoever about the theme. I realize that happens, gotta, take the good with the bad, I guess. 🎅

I need to get into star trek, where should I start? The original series?
I think The Next Generation is probably a better place to start! The original series is great, but often feels quite dated.
I concur with LilJack here. And then DS9 or Voyager
Start with TOS. It's what started it all and was broke a lot of barriers for TV when it originally aired (like the first interracial kiss on tv!) Plus Kirk is a smokeshow and McCoy is just the best
TOS is a product of the 1960s. TNG is more coherent once out of the awkward first season. Some big cringy (and a bit racist) misses in that first season.
i think some of tos for context as others have said bc it broke many barriers but then to really binge id go with next gen!
Q because he is one of the smartest entities albeit an agent of chaos or Guinan because she's extremely wise and patient.
idk if i could handle being in a group project with q!!
I wouldn't trust them
Q would drive everyone insane!!!!
gonna have to go with picard, purely because of his actor
Q
Dax! Loyal for eternity. Although I had such a crush on Bashir...
because bashir was so dreamy, i totally get it!
Live long and prosper
I will pick Wesley. He gets into trouble and knows he can find help as well as get anger from others. But he’s just a kid
the smart dude with the ears
bugs bunny? 👀 no, wait, that's another theme...
This theme sucked
Picard 💫💫💫
Data would be fun.
Aprato
Chief Miles O' Brien , as he's Irish ☘️💫
Data
Spock
data
Boimler from Lower Decks. Love his enthusiastic nerd energy. He can make any project fun.
Chief O'Brian
Data
Captain spork
Data. Might actually be able to get something done.
I don’t know anything about Star Trek besides the Vulcan Salute, so… I guess someone who would do their share of the work well
I wonder if Data would end up flagged for AI writing?
Hands down, Spock!!!!
not a trekkie or trekker 🤔
@iloveleonbergers does your mail to Australia get there without any issue? I send birthday and Christmas pressies to a friend in alabama and it makes it's way all around the US before reaching her!
This is our first time sending letters so I guess I’ll let you know in a few weeks!! 😅 🇦🇺
Idk the Star Trek world.. My brother used to watch next generation when we were growing up and I think Whoopi Goldberg was on it? So I pick her🙃
Yes, her character - Guinan - was essentially the host of the ship's bar, Ten Forward.
next theme should be asl
I’m learning ASL this year, and that would be a super fun category
Chewbacca, Darth Maul, and Steve the Pirate
Hm, not Ford Prefect?
Yoda
Isn't Yoda on Star wars they had all the make believe characters
Please fix your games 😔 they’re not working
What wasn't working?
👀
Working, but Swap needs to update one clue: it's "Gul", not "Gal". It's a rank roughly equivalent to Captain.
