Would you be more effective in a Star Trek, Star Wars or Tolkien universe?

Tolkien tends to be kinda creepy. . .Star Trek has Lavar Burton & Patrick Stewart going for it, but overall I'd have to go with Star Wars. It'sless technical and more about plot. I'm good with plots. Besides, Harrison Ford gets hotter as he gets older, it'd be cool to hang out with Padme & the Ewoks, and even the In Crowd has seen Star Wars. Everybody knows my whole life is about impressing the In Crowd.

Star Trek!

I'm sure I'd be more effective grounded on Middle Earth than roaming the starways. For openers, I'm slightly claustrophobic. I'm also addicted to solitude and more comfortable with the preposterous on a one-to-one basis than through a chain of command.

I think a Star Trek world would be a better one for me. . .

An interesting question: Uh, I suppose I would function best in a Tolkien Universe. The only reason I say that is I like Lord of the Rings and the Hobbitt.

Star Wars, definitely. I'm much more fantasy inclined.

I really don't know how to answer this one. I might need to consult my brother. I guess Star Trek would be my best guess, but it would have to be the original one. I would do ok in a worlds made of fake rocks, foil, and fanciful plant life.

I think I would be most effective in any environment that had groups of people working together toward some important end. All of those worlds seem to provide that.

I don't know or care enough about any of them to know, but my guess would be Tolkien, and no, I can't explain why. Just sounded like a good answer.

I'm going to go with Star Trek because less seems to happen in that programme than Star Wars and Tolkien. I don't know how I'd be more effective, though, because I don't watch the show a lot.

My preference is Star Wars, although I doubt switching the fiction-based context of my life would make me any more effective.

Star Wars, Definately. Star Trek is full of technitions and Commanders, while Star Wars is more about bravery, creativity, spirituality and nobility. Not that one world is exclusive to these charictaristics of people in them, but the prominant qualitys are pretty well defined by the actions and roles of the characters in these worlds. I haven't read any Tolkien stuff. Sorry.

I'd be most effective in a world where Star Wars DIDN'T exist.

I've seen Star Wars and Star Trek. I've read Tolkien. I honestly don't know how to answer the question. I guess I'd prefer to be in the Star Wars universe that has Harrison Ford in it. I don't know if it would  make me more effective, though.

I think Star Trek because I have this tight fitting shirt that is black on the top and light lavender on the bottom. Various people have commented that I look like I just got beamed down from the "Enterprise". Thus, I would be most effective on Star Trek since I already have an outfit to wear. Oops,

The parenthetical part of this question kind of scares me (Oh, the many uses of my corpse). I'll go with Star Wars

It would have to be Tolkien. Every since I saw Peter Pan as a child I knew a fairy was in my future.
