I love carter, but definitely not a good fit for starfleet. Too "us military" for peaceful exploration. Also too moral for Sec. 31.
Definitely daystrom institute, specializing in first hand field research.
In her defense, an air force captain is not the same rank as a captain in the Navy, which the starfleet ranks are based on. She'd be like a lieutenant commander in starfleet. So I think she'd fit right in.
She made full-bird colonel (O6) eventually, which is Captain in the Navy
She made it to full colonel by the time of Atlantis, same rank as the full-time commanders of Earth's biggest space carriers.
Meh, she's only a captain in the beginning. As far as I'm concerned, she's Colonel Carter.
Pff. If Carter had been in Voyager the Delta quadrant would have been a single episode.
Carter would have set up timers on all their torpedoes, found a way to get them home with the caretaker's station, and had the torpedoes beamed all over the station set to explode minutes after the ship got launched back.
Figures the ONE TIME Janeway respects the prime directive....
Gotta make sure those torpedoes are are armed with C-4 warheads, though.
Daystrom Institute, first hand field research... That's the best Star Trek pitch I've ever heard!
Best to file off the serial numbers and do it outside Paramount, though. They're evil now.
She looks like a good fit for deep space radar telemetry.
She was NASA, and Air Force, which is the least US Military of the US Military.
He was almost on TNG.
Max Headroom was a solid stand in, though.

Picard is a Frenchman that speaks with an English accent, so why not a Russian that speaks with a Scottish accent?
We have a warp core breach, doctor Crusher lead the crew to the escape pods while myself and the senior staff take the ship into that nebula.
90's were a hell of a time for military farce. Down Periscope, Sgt. Bilko, Hot Shots(1/2), and McHale's Navy.

I absolutely love how he seems like he's about to break.
It's like he knew the game would be a pile of shit and decided to lean into it.
But then again, I've never seen him in anything he didn't go all out for.
Plus let's be honest, Einstein in RA2 was almost as ridiculous.
Kari Wurher hammed it up as Tanya quite well.

I absolutely love her in Sliders. I loved everyone in sliders. It's a comfort show.
It's been awhile since I played, but there's one cutscene where she's gearing up, and is definitely shredding the cheese factor.
It’s like he knew the game would be a pile of shit and decided to lean into it.
The people in charge of the game knew it too, since they deliberately used that take!
Dude also appeared in an episode of Lexx
Red Alert 2 and 3 cutscenes are way to good for how bad they are and I love everything about it.
Don’t forget In the Army Now with Pauly Shore, buuuuhddy
My submariner buddies claim that this movie is the most accurate representation of life on a submarine.
Surprised no one has posted this guy yet. Too on the nose?

Too pissed it's been mishandled the way it has, just when it really had gotten its feet under it.
Was it actually cancelled? I thought they were on hiatus.
Helluva long hiatus, and no real indication of progress toward another season. At this rate they'll be too old to continue.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast

But to be fair it was his first day.
NO. That is a RIGHT ANSWER, sir. He was a great Captain, playing the terrible hand he was dealt and doing a remarkable job. A half-finished ship plagued by a mismanaged shipyard's scheduling errors and delays? A skeleton crew? A scheduled shakedown cruise that somehow couldn't be rescheduled? The most famous captain in Starfleet's history aboard? The stunt assignment of a nepo baby helm officer to coincide with that VIP? The fleet monumentally mis-deployed, leaving no backup within range of the capital world of the Federation? A once-in-a-lifetime anomaly threatens some refugees right at that exact moment? And all of this happens while he's got dozens of civilian journalists aboard, documenting the whole thing?
You couldn't stack the deck against a Captain that hard if you tried, unless you made part of the missing crew the entire medical staff-- NO WAIT THEY WERE, AND A RETIRED GUNNER HAD TO BE THE MEDIC. Okay then, how about unless you...I dunno, brought the Borg into the equation and OH WAIT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THE EL-AURIANS WERE REFUGEES IN THE FIRST PLACE
It was a miracle that he got anyone off those transport ships, and that the 1701-B made it out losing only one crew member. It was yet another stroke of bad luck that the casualty in question happened to be Kirk.
Harriman was a great Captain and a hero to the fleet. He got lucky in only two ways during that mission: that the VIPs aboard for the trip happened to be highly capable, well-trained leaders willing to roll up their sleeves when they needed to, and that the nepo baby helm officer just happened to also be an excellent pilot.
I thought it was wrong answers only?!
Although I wasn’t expecting him to show up in the thread till Tuesday.
I feel for the man. He was really dealt a bad hand and he had the maturity to swallow his own pride when he realized that there were people on board that could handle the situation way better than him.
Definitely Bruce Boxleitner, the character not the actor
