Scifi Friday - it must be Spocktober

Finally I think it's time to do this, mainly because it's SGU night. What better way to celebrate this than with a scifi meme!
Ha!
Do they exist? Can I make one up of my own and join all the cool girls out there blogging their own memes? ...
So, I googled it. And yes, scifi memes exist ... perhaps not quite like the ones I've been finding elsewhere but this could be a bit of fun, yes, I shall give it a go...

Scifi baddie?
A Goa'uld because they have handy regenerative sarcophagi, very cool hand jewellery that allows them to read people's minds, a deep scary voice and flashy glowing eyes that glare menacingly. Not so keen on the symbiote version though ...

Scifi hero?

Starbuck (Kara Thrace) from Battlestar coz she (spoiler alert) basically saves the day but mainly coz she gets to be a supremo fighter pilot, she drinks, she smokes cigars and she has a thing with Apollo
(image from here)
(Or Korben Dallas from 5th Element because, among other things, he has such a cute cat)

Weapon?
Not really a weapon but the Doctor's sonic screwdriver of course - it can do pretty much anything!

Scifi boyfriend? (or girlfriend if you prefer)
Liking the idea of David Tennant's Dr Who but you might find you were Rose and you could only be together in a parallel universe, or perhaps you were Donna and you were just mates, or Sarah Jane and you got left behind, or even poor Martha and it was only one sided ... no, better to pick Apollo (Lee Adama) (I keep mentioning him don't I?)
Hmmm, just remembered Captain Malcolm Reynolds, mm, yes, well! (image from here)

Setting?
On board the Serenity with Mal and the gang in a western set in space

Special Power?

Vulcan powers - how good would it be to be telepathic and it would be pretty cool to do a mind meld! They live longer, are stronger and faster than humans and the logic thing is useful. (Not so keen on having to be a herbivore and teetotaller though! And that seven year thing, hmmmm)

Transportation?

The tardis of course! Go anywhere in space and time and there's a great wardrobe of clothes for any planet, time or galaxy in there somewhere!! (image from here)

Planet?
The planet of the Nox - they live in the woods but have the power to make things like cities (and themselves) invisible (they're from Stargate - we see Armin Shimmerman yet again in one of his many scifi turns!) (and why do I keep picking vegetarians?)

Non-human character?

Lorne (Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan) - I love that he can read people who sing, and he gets to sing himself quite a bit. (photo from here)
(Still feel v.sad about Andy Hallett, too young, too much talent.) 

BTW, this is not all my own work, it's inspired from here
