Jadzia, because she's awesome.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 29 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Jadzia can save her own self though because she's a badass. Porthos is a helpless lil doggo.

[–] Jaccident@startrek.website 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Porthos made it to the end of his series, meanwhile Jadzia…

Technically, since the last episode takes place on the holodeck centuries after the events of ENT no one in made it to the end of the series.

Am I a weirdo for liking Ezri?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (11 children)

I like both Ezri and Jadzia, but Rick Berman did Terry Ferrell dirty and that's the only reason we had Ezri. So I like Ezri, but there never should have been an Ezri.

No, Ezri is cool too.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like Ezri. It was somewhat crazy to me that they never originally intended on killing her off to begin with.

Like, they created a race that can (sort of) Doctor Who style turn into a brand new person, and their plan was to never utilise that beyond one season 1 episode where someone steals the Dax symbiote?

That's crazy to me. Don't get me wrong, they did utilise the "I have multiple lifetimes of experience" aspect, but never intending to give her a new character was a little odd.

I really liked Ezri. It's just really unfortunate what happened to Terry Farrell that made it happen.

One of them should have been Wesley.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

Wesley is like half a Q. He can save himself.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Shut up, Wesley.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (5 children)

I’d feel bad about choosing between any of who’s up there, but I don’t think anyone would miss Wesley

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I liked him. They could've made the "boy genius" storyline a bit better, but then the "genius" part overlaps with Data too much I guess. Also, he shouldn't have had issues getting into the academy at all

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He’d have been so cool as like a prodigy type, that’s where I thought they were going with him making cool gadgets and understanding traveller. I really wish they’d just gone through with it, since the best and brightest are supposed to be the very fabric of starfleet no overlap should be a problem.

I was 10 years old when TNG started, so Wesley was perfect for me. "A kid can be on the bridge of the Enterprise? A kid like me?"

Also, Wil Wheaton is awesome. And a good actor.

I would execute Wesley myself to save Porthos.

All other 5 of them can save themselves just fine.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Uhura can save herself with a sexy fan dance!

[–] dejected_warp_core@startrek.website 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The dog is the only one that can't actually consent to space travel, and regardless, couldn't possibly know the risks. It is innocent, and doesn't deserve a violent fate.

Everyone else knows that they signed up to live in a metal box, with an artificial biosphere, which is all that separates them from the cold void of deep space. Also, said deep space is jam-packed full of things trying to actively break that metal box, if the crew doesn't beat them to it first. And nobody knows that better than Seven.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Seven didn't. At least not originally. Annika was dragged along by her parents out into the middle of nowhere to get assimilated.

Yes, she decided as an adult to continue her career in space, but she definitely didn't make that original choice.

"The dog"...

You mean PORTHOS! Give them some respect!

[–] madelena@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

Exactly! The Dog is Tendi's dog, not Archer's dog.

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Aka the Destroyer of Trees, the Consumer of Cheese!

Can I save two if I kill Burnham twice?

I’d save seven and together would would figure out a way of using time travel to save the other 4

Save the dog by merging it's mind with Seven of Nine's body. Not because it's a sexy body, but because it has the nanoprobes.

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We are the Dorg. You will become a good boy. Resistance is futile.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They should put Tuvix as choice as well .but porthos wins.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can't save Tuvix. No one can save Tuvix.

The logical choice is Jadzia, because if you save her you also save Dax.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

No one said Dax wouldn't survive. It only shows Jadzia. So still Porthos.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Just remember that you can't save Porthos and the cheese.

Seven or jadzia is an impossible choice for me

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago
[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)
