Kirk or Picard

Hulk pick Kirk. Picard is better actor, but Kirk is much more fun to watch.

You ask person on street who is main character of Star Trek, they say Captain Kirk.
 
I love them both, but there's more Picard in Trek than Kirk, so I had to vote for John Luck Pickard.
 
Okay, the choice is between an officer who got beaten in a fistfight by a guy who was at least 100 years old (Picard), or someone who could still kick ass even on the verge of retirement (Kirk). I picked Kirk. :D

That is no fair question, I love them both dearly.
But if I really have to put my life on the line, I rather put it in Jean Lucs hands - he cares about the "red shirts", too. :D
I don't think you can watch "Balance of Terror" and argue that Kirk doesn't care about them, though.
 
Kirk is most famous for cartoony overacting, getting his troops killed, and being made a punch line by pop culture. Picard is famous for thoughtful, intelligent leadership and being a skilled diplomat. Picard is the obvious choice for no other reason then that he was not the one who inspired Zap Brannigan.
