TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted February 10, 2004 What Enterprise needs is a classic style robot crew member like Robby the Robot (Forbidden Planet) or the Robinson's Robot. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cptwright 1 Posted February 10, 2004 that would possibly be cool, but maybe campy i guess im still out on that one. i guess it would all depend, on what im not so sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted February 10, 2004 It woudn't fit the "feel" of Trek. We've allready had an android, hologram, and ex-Borg as main characters. Maybe ENT could have some kind of "primitive" alien-built android, discovered in the 4th season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted February 10, 2004 Maybe ENT could have some kind of "primitive" alien-built android, discovered in the 4th season? I think that may have been what TM was suggesting Captain but yeah, I'd be all for a primitive form of android(s) or even robot(s) on ENT. Those would match up nicely with things seen after ENT in some spectacular ways: What are Little Girls Made of & Requiem for Methuselah come to mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that may have been what TM was suggesting Captain but yeah, I'd be all for a primitive form of android(s) or even robot(s) on ENT. Alterego explanation is correct. I'm fairly sure it would never happen but I have been watching a lot of the black and white Lost in Space episodes and was thinking how cool it would be to have a retro looking robot (rather than android) on Enterprise. Perhaps Robby could turn up and join the crew! It woudn't fit the "feel" of Trek. I'm not sure if I agree with you. If you look at Forbidden Planet and then look at TOS you will see a lot of similarities in the style. You might argue that modern Trek has a different 'feel' to TOS but with Enterprise's move towards a more TOS style I think it could potentially work. Potentially. "Danger Jonathan Archer. Danger!"

ussacclaim 0 Posted February 10, 2004 I'm not a sure a robot would be a good idea. For one thing, if they did, Enterprise would end up getting accused of stealing ideas again. After Data, 7 of 9, and stuff, if a robot turned up we'd be hearing remarks like "Oh, thats original." On the other hand, those people bad-mouth Enterprise anyway so you can't really win. It's just another Kabyoshi Maru if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the story works then I say dissers be gone. I WANT to see something like that more than ever now. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted February 11, 2004 Maybe a recurring charactor could be a robot, an be well enough made to fool the crew, until he dies saving one of the main cast and then it is found out he is really an andriod/robot and was part of the Temporal cold war?

Captain Ericks 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Maybe it could be a computer-like entity. Kind of like Romi in Andromeda. I suppose it's a little late to do something like that with the Enterprise computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWho42 13 Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) Well having an old-style robot, in my opinion, would be great. I play a brain in a jar (soaking in a liquid computer) in a Bravo Fleet (Star Trek) RPG (Btw I made Commander at the Mannheim Temporal Research Facility as a brain in a jar). Do you think it would be any possible they can have a bizarre non-humanoid character for Enterprise? doctorwho42avenger@hotmail.com B) Doctor Who Homepage Mannheim Temporal Research Facility (I'm on the Crew Manifest, as Commander Adam Who (The Brain Of), Temporal Investigations Liason Officer, but they misspelled 'Bleuvian Brain':) Edited February 12, 2004 by drwho42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrWho42 13 Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) Do you think a computer-like entity, like Max Headroom be a good minor-character? doctorwho42avenger@hotmail.com B) :) Doctor Who Homepage Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes Into The Future TechTV's Max Headroom site Edited February 12, 2004 by drwho42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
