As long as we're going with the Star Trek/Haruhi comparisons, we might as well go all the way (
TOS, of course):
Kirk -- Haruhi. Duh.
Spock -- Yuki. Also duh.
McCoy -- Kyon. So right on so many levels it's a little scary.
Sulu -- Itsuki. Truly the "navigator" of the SOS-dan. Also George Takei... 'Nuff said.
Uhura -- Mikuru. Now
that is what a woman is supposed to look like. And Mikuru ain't too shabby herself.
Scotty -- Tsuruya. "Ah'm givin' 'er all she's got, nyoro..."
Chekov -- Kunikida. Easily the youngest-looking of the bunch. Hope he doesn't end up as a
sociopathic telepath...
Random redshirt -- Taniguchi.
Think about it. Haruhi leans forward in the captain's chair making some crazy, over-the-top order. Kyon stands next to her grumbling about it. Yuki, sitting off in her own little area, looks up from staring into her scanner. Itsuki smiles as he turns to his console to carry out the order with a cheerful "Aye, Captain." Kunikida and Taniguchi sit and stand, at tactical and by the turbolift respectively, looking confused. And Mikuru sits with that thing in her ear, appearing flustered as she attempts to patch Tsuruya through to the bridge. Now,
that's a Haruhi poster I'd actually
pay for. Make it so.
Speaking of, anyone want to try their hand at Next Gen? Or DS9 or Voyager, even? (Mikuru as Seven of Nine is a given)
