Seat 9. I’d say Picard and Chakotay would be pretty mellow and level-headed unless Chakotay’s feeling extra resentful about Picard’s handling of Marquis/Cardassian Neutral Zone stuff. It’s then insulated from some of the crazier pairs with level-headed duos, or at least balanced duos (e.g Raffi and Spock or Kira and Progeny). The exception might be Sisko and Kirk, who would either get along quite well or drive each other to the brink of insanity. Either way, (1 assassinated Romulan senator later) I can live with it. Though maybe after the first hour, I’ll have seat 12 to myself after Riker and Kelvin Kirk go to sick bay for competitive chair-sitting-related injuries…😏

2, T'Pol and O'Brien would have no difficulty keeping to themselves so it would be a quiet journey, at least if you were in a soundproof cabin with the two.

If this is open area seating you would be able to hear many of the other characters from anywhere you sit, even if you were depressurizing outside the ship, so there's simply no hope until you finish depressurizing at least.

The can; I think the replicator is broken. 🤢

12 hours?

8 or 10. Put in my head phones, put on my audiobook, no one's bothering me.

4. I think both Kira and Gwyn seem pretty down to earth and would have interesting stories and opinions on various topics. Not overly dramatic nor boring. Would know when to shut up. I would enjoy hearing advice Kira would give to Gwyndala as a young woman growing into her own. Neither companion would be overly boastful, maybe a tad critical, but their struggles bring an interesting angle on how they view life.

If Spock takes the bait then 10. I feel like I'd learn a lot.

1 if that is Emperor Georgiou. The shit talking would be nonstop entertainment and I’m all in for that. Well, she might kill me, but that’s not a bad way to get out of a 12 hour shuttle trip.

Edit. Fuck, she might put me in an agonizer when we arrive. Maybe this isn’t the right path. But she is super hot and interesting so maybe still worth.

12 for sure, I just want to be hit on by Riker.

2, because then I get to sit between the two most attractive people in the galaxy.

12 would probably be fun, I feel like it would become a friendly competition of story one upmanship.

7 for life. We'd all be plastered and singing klingon opera by the end of it.

For me it's gotta be 5 or 7.

Those seem like the best pairings where both would make you feel comfortable and accepted no matter how outta your depth you are.

All the other pairings have at least one person who would put me on edge for one reason or another no matter how much I like/repect the character.

11 is going to have the most nerding out. I need that in my life, always

Honestly blown away no one has said 2 yet. That’s primo b plot setup right there.

WTF 10! Why is this a debate?

3 feels like the "right" answer but 7 would absolutely be the most fun

3, 6 or 9, damn, no 7 of 9

I'm hopin' she can sock it to me one more time

Low, get low

Get low, get low

To the viewport

To the bulkhead

'Til sweat drop down my tribbles

All these yeoman crawl

Y’all fleet-fleet, microbrains

Y’all fleet-fleet Q damn

Mother of God, anywhere but 6

9 or 12 because TNG is the Star Trek series that I’ve seen the most of.

9. I'd ask Picard about archaeology. Chakotay and I would be fascinated by his lectures for a few hours then we'd all quietly read and probably nap.

Normally this meme format is difficult because there are no good choices. But this time there are no bad ones!

Still, I think I'd have to go with 3.

I find the lack of Elim Garak disturbing.

Also 12 and 3 have the same person on different timelines.

Saru and Kelvin Spock would probably get along really well. Everyone else would be having heated arguments that I think would be amazing to witness, if not take part in.

I think I'd most like to sit between Mariner and Pike, though.

My first thought was Picard because we'd both quietly read books we brought along, but then again I wouldn't want to miss out on all the crazy space cowboy tales Kirk would share with me. So, in conclusion, Kirk it is.
