I'd be a Q!

14. Is that where they were?
Also, I always got the impression in Babylon 5 that the Centauris had nothing to do with "Alpha Centauri". It was simply the name of their race. Maybe it was the Vorlons that gave them the idea to call themselves Centauri from the mythology they implanted/manipulated here. They had their light-being tentacles in everything! :D

15. Apparently
Pandora, a lush, Earth-like habitable moon orbiting the gas giant Polyphemus located in the Alpha Centauri star system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%282009_film%29#Plot

You're right about the B5 Centauris: Despite the name, the Centauri are neither from nor associated with the Alpha Centauri star system (within the context of Babylon 5, this inaccurate naming is explained as having resulted from a mistranslation during first contact between humans and the Centauri; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centauri_%28Babylon_5%29

8. Q who?
just kidding - I'd vote for being a member of the Q continuum as well. Near omnipotence is a nice to have.

11. Clearly a Vulcan or a sentient android like Data.

Asperger's people like me are already so close to being there it isn't funny. I certainly am, anyway.

I would make an excellent Q though....:)

17. A Gethenian.
Getting one week out of every four off to stay home and fuck sounds like a great deal. Of course, the other three weeks of being a neuter would stink. But I'll bet they get more accomplished in those three weeks than humans do in four!
