I dreamt about Star Trek

[pebblerocker]

Seems like everyone around here is having interesting dreams over the last 24 hours. An unusual conjunction of planets, perhaps.

I dreamt that the Enterprise had no Captain Kirk and it had two token Vulcans (Tuvok turned up) and instead of Chekov there was Davy Jones from the Monkees. I think I've read that Chekov was put in the show to attract the younger female demographic and was consciously modelled on Davy Jones to some extent; don't know if that's true, but my dream dredged up the information and used it.

In my dream version of Star Trek young Davy/Chekov would get captured nearly every week by a different evil alien warlord and he'd get dragged off and put in handcuffs, with much associated cosmetic tearing of his uniform, and the camera would go right in on him to show him trembling and begging, "Oh! Please don't hurt me, mister menacing alien starship captain!" and the bad guy would laugh his cruel laugh. And then Sulu, having commandeered the Enterprise from Spock and Uhura, would come charging in WITH HIS SWORD and kick some ass and rescue Davy Jones from the baddies, and then they would snuggle.

It's possible that I would enjoy watching this Star Trek more than seeing Captain Kirk get it on with the green-skinned space babe of the week :->

I think its possible several fans would agree with you on that ;-)

I know I would enjoy seeing Sulu being the knight in shining armour for adorable young male officers. :)

I cast my ballot for your version of Star Trek as well. :^)

I had heard that Chekov was put in the show because the Russians protested that they were first in space and should be represented in the future. IIRC the story I heard was that Roddenberry gleefully agreed and based Chekov on the Beatles.

The Russians are still the only ones up there with an International Space Station.

Ya know... if Star Trek had really forseen the future, Chekov would've been captain.

I like your dream, and I like my ST TOS. After all, it was my forst fandom ever and after all, IT was the impuls for me to learn English!!!:-)

Heehee, there must be many words used in Star Trek which have never come up in ordinary English conversation!
