you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Sorry, there were only two captains of the Enterprise, Pike and Kirk. I don't know enough about Pike to make a determination about him.
Kirk by default.

Good point about Q and the Borg...maybe it's not so much Picard that I'm harsh on, but rather his crew. Data was the only one I could say I liked; the others I found too annoying on a regular basis (and I wasn't even a regular TNG viewer).lucimay wrote:pft.

I'm having a hard time remembering when exactly Picard defeated the Borg.
Were they ever defeated?
Janeway may have done more to help defeat the Borg as a race than Picard ever could have.
Last I remember, Picard turned tail and ran.

Kirk was a maverick, that appeals to me. Picard was an empty uniform. Pike was accidentally turned into a quadriplegic who can only move forward, backward slightly, and beep once for yes and twice for no, and he ultimately had to be saved from this torment by Spock. I don't understand how Pike was left out of this poll, he did manage to escape from the aliens on Talos IV the first time, after all.

Kirk was THE Captain of the Enterprise.
Picard was OK but he couldnt tie his shoes without asking someone at Starfleet.
Kirk had to make decisions on the spot that had ramifications throughout the Federation and he usually didnt ask for permission first.

Yeah, but he didn't take much counsel either, and although one person must take on the burden of the final choice, one person's viewpoint is very, very limited...SoulBiter wrote:Kirk was THE Captain of the Enterprise.

Sorry, I'll take Kirk's damn-the-torpedoes, bone anything that moves approach over the lame, permission-asking pretender on TNG. Hell, Janeway had a bigger sack than Picard.
When the poop hits the fan, I know which captain I'd want calling the shots. And I don't care that he wears a girdle and a rug. Whatever it takes.

I have to disagree.
