Picard and it's not even close.

Sisko once he grew the goatee.

Kirk/Shatner
Picard
Sisko
Kirk/Pine
Pike
Archer
Janeway

While Shatner's Kirk has been and will always be No. 1, I think Sisko is the most interesting character.

loved Picard. But Shatner is the classic.

But Spock is the most badass mother****er on Star Trek and that's fo sho

Kirk/Shatner duh.

Bad news, he only captained when Kirk was in deep shit.

Picard and Sisco when they were fighting the Dominion and not doing wacko Bajoran mythology.

No love for Captain Sulu?

Picard. Easily. By a country F'ing mile.

Unreal all you Picard lovers...He was ok...but dude couldnt fight, and wasnt near the pimp or tactician Kirk was.

Shatner has to be first
Picard a close second
Sisko because of Bjorian mystism


Didn't like Archer or Janeway. We never saw Pike in action.

All the temp captains....James T. Kirk the first was cool. Spock was and always will be the baddest captain. No human can touch his badassness.

When the shit hits the fan...go get Spock.

Picard with shatner/kirk a distant second.

Spock Vs. Data, who wins?

I vote T'pol I think she was an honorary Captain for an episode.
Ok fine..
Shatner Because it just has to be that way
Picard Is Deff a close 2nd.

But I do agree with the comment if the Sh1T hit the fan I want Spock coming for me with Data a close second.

Sisko wasn't a ladies man (never liked Cassidy that much) but the dude won a ****ing war and was a religious icon to an entire planet.

Spock

But only Sisko got Kirk's autograph!!

Now that's just bad ass.

Over the years I've changed. First it was Kirk, then Picard, now it's probably Sisko because he has the most interesting character arc.

This is wrong.

Spock was promoted to the rank of Captain by Star Trek V or VI.

Shatner/Kirk is the best character. But my vote is Picard because I LOVED that shit when I was a kid. It stuck. But I fully acknowledge that Shatner is where it is at.

1.) Picard
2.) Kirk/Shatner
3.) Kirk/Pine
4.) Sisko
5.) Janeway
6.) Archer
DNQ.) Pike

1. Picard, Kirk

3. Sisko



The new Kirk won major points for the bar scene in the latest Star Trek.

Gotta go with Picard.

I'm going to say Spock.

Pike easy!

:LOL:

Picard
Sisko

Don't care after that.

He's seen everything, he's seen it all.

What the whaaa?

Picard, and I'll cut the man that says otherwise....

Always the brides maid and never the bride.

Enterprise never happened. Archer is nonexistent

I really ****ing love Kate Mulgrew, and with some good writing I really think she could have been considered in the Kirk/Picard debate. Sadly, the writers made her the worst developed character of all the captains. She was also wishy-washy, wreckless, unprincipled, and occasionally highly irrational. She's the worst.

Kirk (Pine) has only done two movies. Tough to rank him any higher.

There's a huge gap after that before we get to the top 3. I've seen all the OS episodes and all the movies. I don't have the same nostalgia or fascination with the original that other people do. I also place a far greater value on what a captain actually faces and how they get out of it. Shatner's Kirk came from a different era of television, when it was still fine to represent peaceful and helpful democracy through the barrel of a gun. No, none of the Star Trek captains are exactly peaceniks, but Kirk didn't have any of the restraints that Picard or Sisko had in how they did business. He also never had to deal with the Borg. Based on that, he's 3rd for me.

Sisko/Picard are 1a and 1b, and I waver back and forth between the two constantly. If I had to pick the best one, I'd go with Sisko I think. Picard did some incredible ****ing shit, but quite often he relied on Data to get him out of jams. Sisko relied on his own chocolate thunder to get him out of jams and nothing else. He rarely even used his goddamn shapeshifter. ****, if I were a captain that'd be my #1 tool for the job every time.

Summary:

1a. Sisko
1b. Picard
2. Shatner/Kirk
3. Pine/Kirk
4. Janeway

Wasn't in the budget or he would have

This. Thread over.

Bravo, SNR.

Let's not even get into the fact that Picard had the goddamn flagship of the Federation at his disposal, while Sisko was confined to a shitty secondhand space station that broke down constantly.

And when he did get a ship of his own? Faces were raped all over the galaxy.

the whole ****ing crew in the TOS movies were captains
even scotty and chekov
sulu was badass in undiscovered country
gotta say picard vs shat/kirk are a toss up
the new kirk is too young
never finished voyager or DS9 was working nights
enterprise except the vulcan chick just sucked

Riker.

Brashness of kirk combined with diplomacy of picard.

shatner is the classic so he has to be first
Picard was probably the best

Is it not considered canon? Or are you just saying you hated the show?

Jean-Luc Picard wasn't the typical leading man type that the rest of the Star Treks, and almost every other TV show tries to sel their shows with.

He was, however, the epitome of a leader that earned the respect and admiration of the people in his command.

The character was more solid and fully developed than any of the others.

Spock wins vs anybody

Picard

Shatner/Kirk

OG Kirk fought like a silver age comic book character.
Kirk had an arsenal of fight moves you wont see outside of shootfighting/prowrestling...

double axe handle
doubled backhand
double drop kick AKA twin warp engines
doubled hammer fist
full body sweep
head scissor takedown AKA Inoki's twisting frankensteiner
the human projectile
judo chop
judo hip toss
judo fist
judo palm
judo's Tomoe Nage/rolling thunder
twisting arm drag
the wall of pain AKA the big bonk

Kirk was really good with combos/transitions too. Kirk's wrist catch/pimp slap/front kiss was on par with Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira's triangle/armbar

Archer.... only KU alum in the bunch.
Brought his dog.
Hottest first officer.

Does Kirk ever do the forearm sucker punch?

Luv me some Kirk double hammer and jump kick.

That's just ridiculous. Data > Spock in every conceivable fashion. You name it.

Janeway as she is a woman like me. As also she was fair. Did not like her at first but she had since developed.

Kirk-Pine/Spock-Quinto

Clay is going to send somebody to your house to kneecap you. LMAO

Picard but kirk a close second.


And whoever said Picard wasn't a tactician needs to go back and watch TNG. Dude was a bad ass tactician.

Picard. Hands down.

He was Captain if the Enterprise in the Wrath of Khan.

ya but Spock doesn't have an off switch

Neither did Troi.

If she did she'd have been pregnant for the entire run...

http://scifispirit.files.wordpress.c...nna-troi-1.jpg

Picard, but only because TNG was the only Star Trek I ever liked.

Picard.

I'll see those and raise you this:

http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/q...epeople116.jpg

I couldn't vote for Picard because he always let those annoying Crushers on the Bridge.

Beverly was a gem of a woman and I will come to your house and kick you in the balls if you say anything bad about her.

She couldn't dance worth shit.

Oh come on. Data couldn't even use contractions. They would never engage in physical combat, so that leaves you with your choice of a battle of wits or comparing their abilities at handling various tasks. Spock would logic bomb Data into shutting down in a battle of wits. In every conceivable way Spock is a better Star Fleet officer than Data. It's not even close. Game. Set. Match. Checkmate even, if you are so inclined.

Data took over the Enterprise all by himself several times.

Spock is ****ed.

The logical thing for him to do would be to flee.

Oh yeah? What about sheer, computational speed? Like when Data beat that fat, little Zackdorn (sp?) **** at Strategama? Or when Data discovered the Romulans when Tasha's whore, half-breed daughter was trying to help them?

Absolutely agree. He'd pee his pants faced with Data's prowess. Didn't they meet and collaborate in one of the TNG episodes? The one where Spock foolishly trusts the Romulans about wanting re-unification?

I love it when you talk Trekkie.

My serenade...

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-dKeMPo5LSI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

And yet he had to beg Picard to be put into command of a vessel in an emergency situation, where his interpersonal skills were shown to be lacking.

Being a Captain isn't about raw computational speed, neither is actual intelligence. Spock's intuition, his humanity even, trumps Data every time. Data is a great supporting character. Spock on the other hand is one of the foundations of the franchise for very good reasons.

Logically

That's where you are wrong again. Spock actively fights his humanity, while Data pines for "his" even though he knows he'll never attain it. The glory is the struggle, and the reason why Data is more "human" than Spock ever will be.
