The fact that they had to go to fictional characters is significant.

Good point!

Okay, real world examples from me (notably, a big dude, so y'know, probably not as in tune to things as I could be):

Bernie Sanders My brother My Uncle

... I... Really thought I'd have better options until I really started thinking about it

I'd also go for Data, Riker, and LaForge.

You need O’Brien to act as a lightning rod for any misfortune.

I didn't realize there was a Miles O'Brien floating around on Lemmy!

We're friends now. Just accept it.

Ehhh debatable if Data is a "man", and LaForge... well, he wouldn't be on my list. My picks from TNG to share a turbolift would would be Picard, O'Brien and Riker. Picard would be either ruminating on some deep crisis or current drama and be quiet and majestic. O'Brien would be preoccupied and anxious about some project and trying to build up the courage to talk to the senior officers about it. Riker would be relaxed, polite and crack a joke that would make you chuckle.

If counting non-human male characters across ST, then Data, Odo and Spock.

non-zero chance Riker tries to flirt with you

I mean... No Worf? I feel like he'd be the safest choice together with Data

I don't know about feeling "safe" with Han, but unsafe in a good way. Like I trust him but not myself. Artoo could probably plug in and fix the elevator, too.

You are NOT safe from Willie. He will get you SOOO high.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

exactly why he's on the list. I'm secretly trying to get to Hanks that high so he can laugh like he did in money pit.
