PICARD or KIRK?

Vader

I didnt want to reply to this thread cause the first thing that came to mind was the ep in the simpsons where homer goes to college, but since the troll has been identified and removed I cast my vote for Worf.

Worf???
The option was between Kirk and picard!!

I know but if nobody has any objections I'd like to widen the scope.

Granted you dont see Worf as captain that often, when worf serves in the Klingon civil war is he a captain?? I think he was, not sure, but if he was he did a great job. If he wasnt a captain well then he definitly showed his great tactical abilities in his role.

When Worf protects the cardassian convoy (trial episode) he made the tough decision, Kirk might have made it but Picard wouldnt. That showed brains and balls. A great combination!!

During the dominion war he was a captain for Martok and impresses him so much he is invited into his family.

In Star Trek:First contact he showes his stuff again.

He definitly is well suited to captaining Klingon ships and war ships (escort class) like the Defiant. However in that ep in TNG where they all lose their memories he really isnt suitable for the job. Hes a warrior, a fine tactical officer but for a Federation in peace time maybe he's not ideal.

As for the origional question of Kirk V Picard; as shown by Q Kirk is a young Picard. Picard is mature and sensible now but in his youth he was just like Kirk (in ToS).
Kirk however didnt become responsible enough with age (films), hence his colourfull disiplinary record. Theres a time for initiative and there is a time for taking orders or at least constructivly dismissing the orders like what Picard did in the first episode with ensign Ro or Data in the Romulan blockade not "To hell with you Im James Tiberious Kirk, you can kiss my ass" type stuff

Janeway: Tuvok, its an innocent species.................PHOTON TORPEDOS, FULL SPREAD, FIRE!!!!

How can anybody ever say Janeway was a good captain, she wrecked my head from the very first episode she appeared in!!

without doubt the best captain is Sisko!! But only after he grows the goatie and goes bald!! Then he kicks ass, bring on the dominion!!

But out of Picard or Kirk, it has to be Jean-Luc, --- "Make It So"!! Class!

The last episdoes of DS9 were memorable, nothing like 600 Fed ships vs 1200 Dominion and Cardassian ships.

simu

he would have caved, in his mind he saw 5 lights its not like he even would have thought he was lying

I know but i thought that was good because it shows he's not superman - there's only so much anybody can take and he held out against it longer than most ppl
would.

Nerd: "Sorry Simu, CEO of Microsoft, we really do want to use Linux"

Simu: "Damn you to hell... Bill, fire the torpedos!"

Well the thing about Picard is that he's always willing to hear innovative ideas and to learn about new things - he'd probably already know a fair bit about the open source movement because he's generally a well-informed man and he'd probably consider said nerd's proposal to use linux. And I'd be the same as a CEO!

Actually, given how often the Enterprise gets haxored, they must be using Microsoft's Enterprise edition:)

As for the troll, nobody cares! If people are posting here, they're obviously not ashamed of liking the show nor do I see any reason who one would be.:rolleyes:

Oops, i just noticed you said CEO of Microsoft above - in that case, I don't think a guy with ethical standards as high as those of picard would take that job!

Baa Dumm Tish!!!

Washout

neither.

Sisco was the best captain by far.

you put Sisco up against Picard or Kirk in qany situation and Sicko would prevail....but thats only me opinion....biased on the fact that DS9 was my fav star trek series
