But can't you just imagine Kaylee walking through the ship leaving a trail of fingerprints and engine grease?

What would make Star Trek go with anything else is people looking at it in sheer "How the hell can anything be this clean?" awe or disgust and asking for them to repeat that in captain dummy talk.

I don't hate Star Trek either, but I have a feeling that the ship smell sterile and it certainly looks like it is.

That's what would interest me: Star Trek being forced to mix with a realistic universe.

Geordi viciously cleaning off a console after someone who wasn't obscenely clean had touched it. Probably hitting the wrong buttons in the process and sending them into warp, any of them trying to say their techno-babble in plain English when someone finally asked, "What the hell does that mean?"

At least the enterprise has toilets, which is more than I can say for several space ships I've seen on screen.

It always makes me laugh (ok, not laugh, smirk maybe) when I imagine ordinary people walking the Enterprise leaving behind a trail of foot and fingerprints. They couldn't come through the transporters though, those things probably leave the dust behind and turn off the oils that create fingerprints.

When you put it that way... that is something I would actually like to see.

I think Kaylee may actually get along well with Trip. Geordi, on the other hand, I think your depiction is right on the money.

Geordi has replaced his phaser with a bottle of Windex..

Have you read the article in the 'Serenity' book about the STverse meeting Serenity?

Woah, it's nice to be able to see Serenity in relation to other Sci-Fi ships, especially the ones from Star Wars. Only thing missing is the Space Shuttle. :p

I see Geordi as following them around with a phaser in his hand telling them if he touched anything he would turn them into space dust, and then he would turn the space dust into gas. And I would see Jayne as using a console as a mirror, just to screw around.

Just had a mental image of Kaylee at the food replicator going berserk:)

You're only young once, but you can be immature any time!

She would probably lay on that 'innocent' charm she has and have one installed in Serenity. Or just have Jayne bash it outta the wall.

Yeah, because the engine adds on a lot, and you don't see the inside of the actual engine, just the part that turns it. And I'm surprised it's bigger than the Millenium Falcon, I always thought they were closer in size. Length wise at least.

Well in that case here is a Saturn V, Godzilla, a blue whale, the space shuttle, Serenity, and finally King Kong.

It's little things like this that remind you exactly how much they had to enhance King Kong to make him fight Godzilla. Otherwise it would have been like Godzilla vs. Bambi, which was fun but wouldn't have made a good full length movie.

Oh, For some reason it wouldn't enhance the smaller images. And I meant a side view of the shuttle, without the fuel/booster pods.
