If you could be a Star Trek alien, which species would you choose?
I'd be a Risan, and the galaxy's foremost expert on Jamaharon Research.

I'd run the Jamaharon Research Institute of Risa.

I would know Jamaharon frontwards, backwards, sideways and upside down.

Nobody, and I mean nooobody, would know Jamaharon better than I.

Yeaaahh. that's the ticket.

1. Romulan, from the original show.
They were smart, deadly, and actually had some honor and integrity, unlike their TNG "Romulan" counterparts.

6. Damn right it does.
To paraphrase Bush, I wouldn't mind living in the continuum, just so long as I'm the Q. :)

7. That kind of power would be boring after about 2 weeks.
In fact, I imagine Hell is being able to get anything you want without trying.

8. I think it would depend on one's imagination and mindset
I would imagine I would be able to find ways to amuze myself for many thousands of years.

20. Oh, I dunno about that.
It's an awfully big pan-dimensional multiverse out there. I'm sure I could find something interesting to do.

27. A changeling, except not genocidal and evil
That'd be sweet.

Or a joined Trill, so I could live for centuries and have all sorts of different life experiences.

31. Have to say I'd be a half-breed.
Vulcan and Klingon.

Talk about conflicted.

Well, not like Odo (he was uptight, to put it mildly) but having that ability would be awesome.
