Weapons Officer Shoots Into the Spaceship ‘Dream Team’ [Poll]

Every week for the next few months, we’ll be creating the ultimate starship crew from the greatest sci-fi characters of movie and TV. You can help create the “Spaceship Dream Team” by voting in the sidebar.

The results of last week’s poll is in and our new Weapons Officer is Jayne Cobb from Firefly!

What’s interesting is that Jayne is a mercenary and probably won’t join the crew. Does that mean we’ll have to keep the paychecks coming or he’ll jump ship? Only time will tell, but his intensity and steady shooting hand should make him perfect for the job as head of security.

The voting was close and we almost had the Predator in charge of weapons. As Rick288 pointed out, “I found it funny the way the poll looked like it was going with the [Predator] taking over as the tactical officer on my dream ship. I kept seeing myself on trouble on the bridge and looking [for my] [tactical officer] for advice and can’t [find] him because he keeps blending into the background whenever I need him.”

For those following at home, here’s the crew so far:

• Captain Han Solo from Star Wars
• First Officer Spock from Star Trek
• Engineer Kaylee  from Firefly
• Pilot “Rommie” from Andromeda
• Doctor McCoy from Star Trek
• Science Officer Data from Star Trek
• Weapons Officer Jayne Cobb from Firefly

Next, we’ll find ourselves the communications officer.

Do you feel safer with Cobb at your back?
