Madame Butterfly 0 Posted March 17, 2005 I also like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos She would be good, but I can't see her as a captain. Rather a science officer or something a tad quirky. It seems more her style. Also, she cheated on Stamos with Jerry O'Connell and they have since divorced. [Yes, I think she's a frickin' nut case for doing that too!!!] It's just Rebecca Romijn.

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted March 17, 2005 Here's my choice - Neal McDonough! He was in "ST:First Contact." http://nealmcdonough.bravepages.com/ 310641[/snapback] Now that is a good idea!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krysis 2 Posted March 18, 2005 Sam Neill and Sigourney Weaver would both be excellent in Trek. Yeah, I think Weaver would make a good captain. Do you think she'd be better than Janeway? I don't understand this "Madonna" thing though. In any movie she has been in, she has never showed any acting talent. "Evita" doesn't count, since that was a singing role, which is more her style. 310555[/snapback] Mebbe she could be a holographic entertainer like the one on DS9 I wouldn't want any known actor to be the lead character. If a new series was made I'd rather see them go with an unknown cast for the most part. 310588[/snapback] Why not? Ed O'Neil and I would Love to See Britney Spears as a Borg 310606[/snapback] I've never really seen Spears acting but I think either Spears or Lopez would look good in a suit like Seven's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack_Bauer 1 Posted March 18, 2005 <-- Hopefully, he would want to do it anoher series after 24, but it could take a while. But I think he could do a movie as captain. I have a feeling Tom Hanks could be in Trek XI. Just because they hired a writer from Band of Brothers, he probably has some connection to Hanks and Hanks would jump at the chance.

Madame Butterfly 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Well unfortunately that may be true. I don't necessarily like it, but for some reason Hollywood seems to think t & a will draw the guys more than a good solid script :P I"ve just insulted men, and I wasn't really trying too!!! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_ocompa 0 Posted March 19, 2005 I have a very weird idea.... Just close your eyes, and imagine that the computer's voice is not Majel Barrett, but instead....Christopher Walken! 310475[/snapback] roflol! My colleagues are wondering what I'm laughing about. About Harrison Ford. He reminds me of Jack Ryan. That's why I thought in line with Section 31. Then again he could also be a Star Trek archeologist looking for some neat Vulcan artifact. But I think he'll be more suited to a Captain aboard a smuggling freighter. I was also thinking. Pre Nemesis era. Lets substitute The Russians with Romulans and Red October with Romulan Warbird trying to defect and enter Federation Space. The Klingons naturally want to blow it out of the sky but someone in Starfleet Intel - say Lt. Commander Jack Ryan of Sectin 31 - is willing to give the Warbird a chance. I think this will only work with the Rumulans because they can cloak. We could also think in terms of TOS era. Oh well, there are so many possibilities and so many "if only". Seriously, what can we fans do to get someone like Clancy to write Star Trek? Mebbe Antonio Banderas can be head of Section 31. 310479[/snapback] Funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yillara Skye 1 Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) and I would Love to See Britney Spears as a Borg 310606[/snapback] Oh good grief!!! :P There went the collective! :P Plasticgirl with the annoying voice, would definately cause the downfall of the collective! Quite a few of the selections listed already are pretty good.. though I can agree I cannot see Madonna in the role of Captain. She was good in Evita, but like King already said it was more suited to her(it being a musical)... and otherwise I cannot see her in a Trek role. Queen Latifah.. maybe, especially the post-Chicago version of her, but still I guess it would depend on the backstory of the role. Morgan Freeman... :lol: :P But as a Klingon?? hmmm,Maybe.. The Federation President could be another good one for him. James Earl Jones, Harrison Ford, Sean Connery and Denzel Washington all wonderful ideas!!!!

Captain Ericks 0 Posted March 25, 2005 I always thought that Ed Wasser (Morden from Babylon 5) would be a great corrupt captain. I agree about Bill Pullman, but only for a few episodes. I would always see 'Lone Star' from Space Balls. Jimmy Smits would be cool as a Captain. Morgan Freeman would be perfect for the president of the Federation. I'm sure there are so many more I could list, still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Bauer 1 Posted March 25, 2005 Jimmy Smits would be cool as a Captain. 312319[/snapback] Well, if he loses the election to Vinick (Alan Alda) on the West Wing, he would be available. Hard to say what's going to happen there. Vinick is a powerhouse and will likely slaughter either Russel (Gary Cole) or Santos (Smits). Of course, I have heard rumours that Santos joins Vinick's ticket as VP after Russel wins the Democratic nomination. Vinick/Santos would be an awesome team and would probably take the entire electoral college. (Vinick has been described as a Blue-state Republican and Santos as red-state Democrat) Off topic I know but I find this fake election so fascinating.

I thought about it after Santos and Vinick talked in Iowa during the episode on the campaign trail. That would be insane if it were to be done. Jimmy Smits would have to take a back seat and the VP would have a totally new role if the series continues into the next administration. I'm sorry still off topic. Gary Cole would have experience as a Captain from Crusade. Mary McCormack from "West Wing" would be a good woman captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Captain 0 Posted March 27, 2005 I was reading through the posts in this thread and I had a crazy idea. Why not have a dwarf actor to play a Captain?? I was reading about Josh Ryan Evans during the week - he was on Passions and played the role of Timmy, the living doll. He was also on Ally McBeal, playing a child lawyer who gave Ally a hard time. He was a dwarf but sadly he died in 2002. Can anyone imagine a dwarf Captain? It would definitely make things very interesting. I couldn't imagine Madonna as Captain though, she isn't a very convincing actor at the best of times. Madam Captain out!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
