Star Trek Captains

Every nerd forum on the Internet requires such a debate.

I'm a Picard man, myself.

Afrobean · 01-28-2005, 05:44 PM

I like Archer. Not because of the show (Enterprise is a terrible show), but because of the man who portrays him is pure awesome (Quantum Leap anyone?). Then again, the man who played Picard also played Prof. Xavier, so I'm kinda torn here. I suppose I'll vote Picard, but only because Next Generation was a good show and Enterprise is crap.

PS Please disreguard all of the above on the grounds that I know next to nothing about Star Trek and my opinion is basically invalid.

Enterprise only sucked before Season 3. Watched it recently?

Afrobean · 01-28-2005, 06:07 PM

No, I lost hope on it after like the first two episodes I saw. Ever since then, I've only heard bad things from TV Guide, and everyone TV Guide knows all...

Well maybe not, but it's not like I have much of an interest anyway. Either way, Next Generation remains the best incarnation in my opinion.

PS who had the nerve to vote Kirk and not post?

Picard was pure awesome.

Sisko comes close, but he sucked near the end of DS9.

01-28-2005, 07:59 PM

Sisko is a close second for me. I want that man to be President. He's so smarmy.

Archer's really cool but he's a bit irrational at times when his senior officers think he's doing the wrong thing. And they're usually right.

"No way, Kirk could kick Picards' ass!"
"Well at least Picard had the guts to admit he was bald!"
"You take that back!"

Okay, Futurama quotes aside, Kirk had all classic elements of greatness: Lack of leadership, his patented Kirk ninja moves, and the greatest enemy of all time: KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Picard's close though. But Kirk was just too swank. William ****in' Shatner!

Verruckter · 01-29-2005, 07:07 PM

Picard all the way baby!!

lol yeah, DS9 sucks. Hutrray for new generation. And the theme song pwns.

cardmaster5001 · 01-29-2005, 07:21 PM

kirk all the way!

Shatner rocks lol

tsutter · 01-29-2005, 11:39 PM

*expected CAPTAIN. JEAN-LUC PICARD OF THE U.S.S. ENTERPRISE.*

But yeah Picard.

**Kilgamayan** · 01-29-2005, 11:42 PM

Close one, but I'll take Picard over Kirk by a narrow margin.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW

And DS9 had a great theme song. Before Season 3, at least.

Enterprise's theme song was great before they made it that Faith Of The Heart bullcrap. The original theme was real proper and Star-Trek-like.

I have it, if you guys want it.

Tsuteto · 01-30-2005, 12:24 AM

Kirk. Why? Just because of this:

"Spock. Fire... the weapon."

Something along those lines, but yeah, you get my point.

Pike wasn't a bad captain. Shame he was only in one show.

Sulu was also an awesome captain. He was so crafty.

mead1 · 01-30-2005, 07:50 AM

Personally, I vote for Archer.

His show may have sucked before season 3 as previously stated, but as a character he is awesome. My opinion may be a little biased, as I have seen almost every Enterprise and not quite as many of the others, but I just genuinely think Archer seems more "Human".

New Gen's theme song > DS9's theme song
