LOL... that never occurred to me. The reason why I didn't do TNG is that...

1) Picard and Kyon are the two most famous facepalmers through out the entire internet. With a comparison like this one, they'd have to be one and the same.

2) I couldn't make Haruhi as someone working under Kyon Picard.

Never occurred to me to make Haruhi somebody outside the crew like Q.

... There's this one episode of Trek where Q gets his powers taken away, and he shows up on the Bridge of the Enterprise, naked (sent there by the Q Continuim). Picard looks at him in a stunned face, but can't take his eyes off of Q. Q makes this sly smile towards Picard (Q even licks out his tongue a bit, IIRC) and says "Red Alert...!". Now replace Picard with Kyon, and Q with Haruhi for this scene, and...


Haruhi/Kyon is quite a bit like Q/Picard. And after you have Haruhi/Kyon dealt with, the rest of the crew might be doable. I could definitely see Mikuru working as Beverly Crusher or Counselor Troi.

But the Voyager comparisons are spot on! I'll add my view on it.
I'm glad you liked them! Your write-ups supporting them further were great!

Anyway, to make this a bit about Nagato... if Nagato was Counselor Troi, and Kyon was Riker, I wonder how that would make Kogetsu feel?
