So you can run the bar when Guinan isnā€™t around or work down at the arboretum with Keikoā€¦ Oh! I knowā€¦ Maybe since you have film/tv experience, you can run a holodeck business of some variety, where you can write holonovels for people to enjoy. I mean, certainly theyā€™d get tired of the classics at some point and want some new material to be entertained by, yeah?

Iā€™ll also choose the Enterprise.

First order of business- Get the crew to vote on changing the name of the ship to something amusingly snarky.
Next, head to the fabrication labs and build some AI drones to accompany the humans on their travels planetside- (Seriously, that would have fixed so many of the ridiculous problems that Kirk et al. ran into)
Third- head out into the galaxy to contact other lifeforms andā€¦ yeah, OK Iā€™m just derailing the entire setting into becoming the Culture. Which is my usual goal, anyway.

Good point (by multiple people). My question option was rather broad. I think picking a specific setting for fantasy would have been difficult since many of the ones Iā€™ve known (aside from generic swords & sorcery concept) were much more specific and less known than sitcoms or even Star Treks (although thatā€™s fairly specific too vs sci-fi, but at least well-known). Hmm.

I was thinking of the sort of high fantasy of Tolkien or generic D&D where the characters are legendary heroes rather than normal people (vs sitcoms or Star Trek, where even the heroes are normal people). Donā€™t know how to communicate that in a concise way though.

Loving the answers!

Oh, Hell no, then. ā€œLegendary Heroes,ā€ in a magical world, means routinely facing apocalyptic challenges, and if you fail at even one of thoseā€¦ Rocks fall, everyone dies.

If itā€™s that or Star Trek, start brewing me my Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
