Challenge #3: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

In your own space, tell us who, from one of your fandoms, would you most want to have dinner with (or tea, or a random afternoon visit), And why? This could be a creator, an actor, a costumer, a set designer, a director, a character, a composer, anybody! What would you talk about? What are you dying to know?

So today's challenge is who, from your fandom, would you like to have over for dinner.  My first thought was Dr Leonard  "Bones" McCoy from Star Trek TOS.  I'd just want to hear about all his wacky adventures in space.  If I picked Kirk you know he would tow the Starfleet line about discovering new worlds, etc, etc. and Spock would talk about the benefits to science and society, but McCoy would tell you what it was really like.  He could tell you about what sucked, who was awful, and so on.  He would be realistic with you, while also dumping all the tea about Starfleet, the Federation and so on.

My second choice is Rowena from Supernatural, again the stories she must have, she is over three hundred years old!   Think of the people she may have meet, the things she may have seen.  It bugs me that in canon, except for a few vague mentions here and there, we never learned more about her past, like she met Napoleon, and dated Mick Jagger for goodness sake!

Lastly, I would chose Sam Winchester from Supernatural.  Not so much for me, but for him.  He seems like he needs to talk about all the stuff he has been through, but rarely ever gets a chance to in canon.  So, I guess I would try to be Sam's therapist for the evening, although I am not accredited in any shape of form.  That being said, and knowing Sam, he would probably try and turn things around and get me to talk about myself instead.

OH man so true on the TOS trio!

[kingstoken]

I rewatched the original series and all the TOS movies in 2020, so I think I have really gotten to know them again, and McCoy is the one you go to if you want the dirt!

[evilinsanemonkey]

Definitely! And it'll be Good Dirt, too.

[perspi]

What fun answers!

I do feel like the REALLY OLD characters would be potentially REALLY INTERESTING. :D

[kingstoken]

They have lived so much life, a lot of seniors have get stories, could you imagine the stories form a 300 year witch!

[paulamcg]

It's wonderful how you choose your guests according to how you'll get to hear stories and how they need to talk!

[kingstoken]

Thank you, hearing people tell interesting stories is one of life's pleasures

[paulamcg]

So true! ♥

Oh gosh yes, McCoy would be so much fun! Star Treck isn't one of my fandoms but I just loved the original series, I used to watch it so much as a child. Happy memories :)

[kingstoken]

McCoy would know all the best tea, and he would tell what the Klingon Ambassador was really like.

[stellar_dust]

Bones is a fantastic choice -- and you are absolutely right that Sam would turn it back around on you, haha.

[kingstoken]

Sam is a generous spirit, too much so sometimes

[corvidology]

Bones from TOS would be an excellent choice and he'd bring a bottle of something good. :D

[kingstoken]

Oh, I didn't even think about that, but, it's so true! Although I think I'll skip it if it is Romulian Ale, that stuff seems like it packs a quite a punch.

[shipperslist]

Rowena would definitely be an interesting coffee date!

[kingstoken]

The Mick Jaggger stories alone would be worth it!

[sixbeforelunch]

Bones would be a great dinner companion!

[kingstoken]

I think so to

[fairyniamh]

We chose the same person for Star Trek, for different reasons. Though both boil down to he would be the most interesting.

[kingstoken]

I checked it. Getting a hypospray would be a definite plus.

[tribble_of_tarth]

You are so right about Dr. McCoy! Yes, he would definitely spill all the tea and probably be an excellent storyteller as well.

[kingstoken]

You really want to know what Commodore SOandSo was like, or those aliens from planet X, ask McCoy.

[prisca]

Aaawww, I love that you would try to be Sam's therapist for an evening. And if he tries to turn things around: Maybe you could be therapists for each other.

[kingstoken]

That's idea, but my issues pale in comparison to Sam Winchester's.

[colls]

What a great response to this challenge question!

[kingstoken]

Thank you.

[silveradept]

Bones is absolutely a person to have dinner with if you want the inside scoop on things. He would be willing enough to tell you and to keep it uncensored.

[kingstoken]

Bones would bring the tea, and some alien alcohol that would probably knock you off your feet.
