    Something to consider: the EMH requires no sleep and can work on the problem 24/7.

    In the real world I would agree, but in Star Trek it seems that computers/robots/AI are surprisingly bad at a lot of things, even some of which they would be good at in real life.

    Also: the EMH is on the Voyager I guess?
    That's pretty limited access to all the Star Fleet resources. Finding a cure/vaccine for a illness has to do a lot with available data and resources.

    To be fair, I wasn't calculating in that aspect. I was considering them all on a level playing field. But if we do go down that route it could be a significant consideration.

    Ok that's fair. The EMH on it's own is definitely a powerful tool. Or character. Whatever. (Yes I am pulling a Maddox here. :D )

    That depends. Is one of the main cast members afflicted with the virus? If that's the case than any doctor is guaranteed to succeed.

    If Ensign Rickey is infected, I don't like the odds.

    If it's a sympathetic guest star that is infected, my money is on the EMH or one of the Next Generation doctors. They seem to be more likely to ride in and save the day. Dr. Bashir usually succeeds but once in a while fails to save the patient so he can chew on an angst burger.

    I'm not familiar with the last two doctors. Are they from the Kelvin timeline? If that's the case, everyone is better off dead. The Kelvin universe is garbage.

    There is a video talking about Star Wars casting rumors. It's a bit long, but it's here if you want it. It's all summed up with one of the comments below the video.

    If Brie Larson is Mara Jade then that explains why Luke was a bitter old man living alone on a Island.

    This rumor, if true, can only mean that Disney is trying to kill Star Wars.

    And here I thought that it was impossible to reasonably justify Luke's story arc in TLJ. You have opened my eyes to the truth.

    It's not me, but I enjoyed the quote enough to repeat it.

    Too late for that. He already has a hacking cough and general respiratory failure. He might also have a fever, who would know?
