Henchmen 21/Gary Fischer - The Venture Bros

[twoton_twentyone]

So, who would win in a fist fight, Captain Kirk or Captain Picard?

[logical_resolve]

Assuming they have sufficient reason to engage in hand to hand combat, I believe Captain Kirk would have the advantage.

Captain Picard has many strengths but they are largely tactical. As neither Captain is likely to create a makeshift weapon, or utilize a phaser, this talent for creative solutions will not aid Captain Picard.

That said, it is entirely likely that any fistfight between the Captains Picard and Kirk would be broken up by Lieutenant Commander Worf or myself, so any projections regarding the ultimate winner are moot. The fight would not reach its conclusion.

omg ilu.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ This was the best answer he could hope for. How could he even argue any of it? It was completely logical. And covered almost all the bases. ]

Oh yeah, yeah. That makes perfect sense. It's not meant to reach a conclusion, it's just a what if kind of thing.

But, dude, what if they have swords? I mean, I think Sulu versus Picard on sword would be interesting, but this is about captain verses captain.

<3 I knew immediately I had to do this.

[logical_resolve]

Hikaru Sulu would be quite a contender if placed in that situation, you are correct to deem it interesting.

If it remains a contest between Captains, however, then the addition of swords would tilt the balance in Captain Picard's favor. As far as I am aware, Captain Kirk has little to no training in the use of any kind of sword.

Returning to your original hypothetical: I am curious why you did not include Captains Pike, Janeway, or Commander Sisko?

And it is amazing, thank you!

[twoton_twentyone]

Thanks, dude. I think way too much on these things.

Yeah, you have a point there. And that would be an unfair advantage.

Oh, that is so easy! The reason why is they are the most matched up in my mind. Pike could easily take Kirk. Janeway would outfox them all before anyone could throw a punch. And Sisko? Come on, that dude is amazing. He would beat everyone listed, Picard and Kirk included. Do you disagree?

[logical_resolve]

[Spock considers this for a moment but finds no fault in his logic.]

I do not. Your reasoning is brief, but accurate.

[This is some high praise from a Vulcan.]

I would be interested in hearing other hypotheticals of this nature. Do you perhaps have an electronic mailing list I may subscribe to?

[twoton_twentyone]

[ He so thinks that this Spock is the best cosplayer he's ever run into. ]

I could have went deeper, but it didn't really need it, but thanks bro. I appreciate it.

[ High praise indeed. He lights up then hearing the rest.]

Oh, totally! I have a podcast I can write down the address for you, and maybe one day if you want I could totally invite you on!

[logical_resolve]

[Indeed. Those ears almost look real. I wish I had a TOS!Spock journal, but alas.]

I would appreciate the information, thank you.

If you wish to invite me on, I would not be opposed. I must request that you contact me in advance, however, so that I may arrange my schedule appropriately.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ So realistic, Gary's gonna have to ask about those one day. All Spocks are good Spocks! ]

Absolutely dude, here. [ He hands him a little card with a butterfly emblem on the front but the QR code on the back, and an address to a Spotify link. Gotta love tech upgrades. ]

I can absolutely work with you on that. My job keeps me busy too, but we'll make it work. You're totally cool and I'd love to pick your brain more one day!

[revmeup]

Who?

[twoton_twentyone]

Harley! Seriously!

[ can you hear that whine in his voice? So disappointed.]

[revmeup]

Are they like nautical themed arches? I don't fuck with the ocean.

[twoton_twentyone]

It's space Harley, not the ocean. How do you not know this? I feel like your messing with me. It's a classic. Like the best after Star Wars.

[revmeup]

The thing with the teddy bears?

[twoton_twentyone]

Please tell me you're meaning the Ewoks.

[ He's already googling Ewoks to show her a picture. ]

Did you watch no sci-fi as a kid? We grew up in the golden age of science fiction!

[revmeup]

[ She shrugs. ]

I did sports.

[twoton_twentyone]

And I did not. Which... explains a lot.

[ He holds his phone over to show a picture of the Ewok.]

Is this your teddy bear in space? If so, yes it's Star Wars.

[revmeup]

I think so? I don't really remember much. I got bored and zoned out.

[twoton_twentyone]

You're killing me here.

[ He hangs his head some and sets his phone down.]

What do you enjoy watching, Harley? Anything?

[revmeup]

I like cartoons! And rom coms.

[twoton_twentyone]

Cartoons, I can work with that. Romcom's not so much, I haven't seen many. But what cartoons do you like? Scooby Doo, smurfs?

[corbomite]

[Not that he recognises the name, but...]

Well, I like to think I'd stand a pretty good chance.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ His jaw drops. Give him a moment. Sure, he thought Spock was a cosplayer... but this.]

[corbomite]

[Here Jim is in all his Shatner-faced and Shatner-voiced glory. Take your time to take it in.]

Who is this Captain Picard, anyway? I can't say that I've heard the name.

[twoton_twentyone]

[ This. This is one of the top five greatest moments of his life. Right behind surviving a fist fight with Brock Samson. ]

Oh. My. God. [ This geek needs a second, but then he starts his rambling.]

Oh man, you totally wouldn't have heard the name, no. Captain Jean-Luc Picard wasn't born until 2305. I could normally do the Stardate for you, but just oh my god, you're YOU. He totally captains the Enterprise NCC-1701-D way in your future, dude. I'm like a huge fan.

[ This probably breaks so many rules, but. This Kirk is making these nerds dreams come true. And he's probably going to write it off as he's going crazy later. It's fine. ]
