Considering that my tattoo features six spaceships* (and one other "method of travel,"), this prompt, seemingly, is right up my alley. But GUYS. There are so many awesome fictional vehicles. So many more than my six/seven.
Basically, what I'm saying is—this prompt was hard. I hate having to choose between the people vehicles I love. Four of the five I chose are included on my tattoo, however. I obviously picked them for a reason.
Five Fictional Vehicles I'd Love to Travel In
5 | Serenity, Firefly and Serenity
Although I occasionally might regret signing on to Captain Malcolm Reynold's crew when yet another something goes wrong with Serenity, I'd just have to think about the people I was working with to realize that I'd made a good decision.
4 | The Hogwarts Express, Harry Potter
There's definitely a theme to this list, and this pick stands out as the odd man in the bunch. But not only do I love traveling by train, I also would have loved to attend Hogwarts. I suppose I would have had to settle for visiting, being American and all. But perhaps there was some sort of study abroad program we just never read about?
3 | The Normandy, Mass Effect
In terms of space ships, the Normandy is a cut above the rest. But again, this is a ship I would love to travel on thanks mostly to the crew—or at least the crew that I collected as I played the Mass Effect series. But never, under any circumstance, would you have gotten me to go down to a planet's surface in the Mako. That thing is THE WORST.
2 | TARDIS, Doctor Who
Regardless of if you're a Whovian, I think the idea of having a vehicle that could take you to literally anywhere in all of time and space would be an appealing one. The fact that you get to hang out with the Doctor while doing so is just an added bonus.
*It's not exactly a spaceship, but it travels in space, so ...
1 | The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), Star Trek: The Next Generation
I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation during a time in my life that I was easily influenced and majorly affected by pop culture: from around age 4 to the year I turned 11. The show made a lasting impact on my brain, and my heart, and there's no place I'd rather be (fictionally speaking) than walking the corridors of the Enterprise.

I think the TARDIS might be the winner for this week! LOL
ReplyDeleteAgreed! But really, it's the most useful of them.
ReplyDeleteI love your picks, especially the USS Enterprise!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot about the Hogwarts express!
ReplyDeleteYup--three of your five made my list, too! The TARDIS and Hogwarts Express definitely seem to be the favorites this week! :-)
ReplyDeleteI was THISCLOSE to putting Serenity on my list too! True there's always something or another going wrong, but I think getting to fly around the universe with the Serenity crew would totally make up for it<3
ReplyDeleteAh the USS Enterprise a fabulous choice! As was the rest of your list!
ReplyDeleteWe had the hardest time narrowing down our choices too! Great list BtW!
ReplyDeleteI thought about putting Serenity 10 minutes after I posted mine. AH! Good picks though, Mandy :D
ReplyDeleteYes Hogwarts Express! I would like to think there was a study abroad program also.
ReplyDeleteI have TARDIS on mine as well!!! Jen has a Star Trek ship on her list, though it's a different one. ^_^ This week, we both played along on my blog, which puts such a big smile on my face. ♥ Also, fuck yes to The Normandy!
ReplyDeleteAll great picks! Lots of space-travel in your future :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Mandy! Can I sit next to you on the Hogwarts Express? :D
ReplyDeleteThe Enterprise and Serenity <3 All are lovely picks, btw.

Serenity would be one of my first choices and the tardis of course - although you could get into all sorts of trouble using that ^_^ This is a fandom Friday I'm definitely joining in with!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I didn't think of the TARDIS. DUH. The Normandy is another great pick!
