Who's your Captain?

I found some edited highlights:
Sisko, unlike any other captain save for Kirk, will react if cornered by the baddies:
The only other sci-fi commander that comes close is Sinclair, but I think Sisko is just a tad better. Especially when we get to the best bit:
Janeway left a whole pile of dead bodies of people who tried to corner her in the Delta Quadrant.

Including Tuvix!
Oh, sorry - there was no body.
Lucky Janeway.
There were two bodies, actually. And they were both still alive. Not the usual result from a murder.
I found some edited highlights:
From "For the Uniform", in the latter half of a character arc.
Sisko, unlike any other captain save for Kirk, will react if cornered by the baddies and with equal fervor:
Then comes this, from the standalone "Sons of Mogh" (Season 4):
The only other sci-fi commander that comes close is Sinclair, but I think Sisko is just a tad better. Especially when we get to the best bit:
(That never gets old and no other Captain/Commander comes close. Tiny spoiler, on edit: Sisko is promoted to Captain, so he qualifies for sure.)
don’t forget he basically ordered Worf to kill Gowron…which Worf did.
Ughhh. I don't know who that arc assassinated worse, Gowron or Martok.
Was that from season 7? I remember the finale, the baseball episode, and that's about it.
That's a really nice collection of clips, yet there are still others. I like Sisko to Kira in "Past Prologue":
Brooks delivers this very well - Kira isn't getting the full broadside because she's new to working with Starfleet and the emphasis on chain of command, and they're going to have to work together in the future, yet he's also making it clear that going to the admiral when she doesn't like Sisko's decisions is unacceptable.
Gowron.

Yes, that was from "Tacking Into the Wind" near the end of season 7. It wasn't quite an order to Worf... such an order would probably have been illegal if Starfleet policy on assassination is anything like the present day United States. It was more like an observation - the Klingons are the only thing standing between the Dominion and victory, and Gowron must be stopped. It was up to Worf to interpret what should be done.
Simultaneously train, prepare, and shake down a whole extra shift while preparing for a knock-down drag-out battle with the Cardassians? In only a few days? Pretty tough.
You're on report!
Ha! You think a loser like me would be on the Enterprise? I'm a blue-uniformed nonentity on the Oakland.
And get that fish out of the ready room.
*burp* Done.
Picard.
Mine was Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula). As the captain of the Enterprise NX-01 he was a pioneer in what future starfleet captains would look up to. He fumbled he made mistakes but after the Xindi mission, he learned that he can't just be an explorer, he has to be a dipolmat and more importantly a soldier.
