Kevin's Watch

Okay. Here it is. The Trekie poll of all polls, the title fight!

Kirk, easily.

I don't think I was ever a real fan of Picard. (I'm more a fan of Janeway. In fact, way more. I'd rather be lost in space with her Voyager crew than be stuck with Picard's Enterprise crew.)

pft.

neither kirk nor janeway would or could take on Q AND the Borg.

sorry. Picard. hands down.
(tho i'm a Sisko fan too)

James Tiberius Kirk. My hero.....

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).

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.

I'll take Picard over Kirk in this poll, but the absolute best was Sisko.

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...

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.

Well, at least you'd win if it were a women-eating contest for the fate of the universe!

As long as it's not the guy who looks like they actually wanted Harrison Ford but couldn't afford to pay him .. what's his name? Archer?

I have to disagree. Kirk accepted the counsel of McCoy and Spock on numerous occasions.

....AND he boned his way across the galaxy.

K...fine, Spock's counsel...but a Dr.'s? At least Picard sook (my spelling..mine!) cousel with those that had experience in these things, those higher in rank...

You know, that Picard guy could sure order a mean cup of tea.....

Yea, Sisko was my favorite too, but, I like Kirk better than Picard. Picard was too refined.

I like the way he says "#1" too, must practice that at night in front of the mirror to get it to sound soo...emmm.
