Rate your favorite lead characters of all of Star Trek

Apologies if this has posted before. I checked the first 5 pages and the closest thing I saw was a discussion thread for the best captain. Since not all Trek shows' lead character are starfleet captains, I'd thought I run a poll on who people think is the best lead character .
I have only seen one episode of LD but I think I have the correct character listed. (someone correct me if I'm wrong). And I think Dal is the main lead for PROD but maybe it's Gwynn ? Or are they co leads ?

 

Kirk.

 

Mariner and Dal are the two I would've called the lead as well, though I suppose you could argue that Mariner and Boimler are kind of co-leads.

 

I toyed with idea of listing Picard twice since it can be argued you can have different opinions on him depending on which show . Decided against it to make things more streamlined. So if your someone who loved TNG Picard and disliked PICARD'S Picard (or vice versa), I suggest you average it out

 

My thoughts:
Kirk: While TOS wasn't my main Trek, it is hard to overstate the character's importance to the phenomenon as a whole.
Picard: Helped Berman era Trek find it's own identity. Smart, cerebral, and with enough weaknesses (isolated, bad with kids) to be human.
Sisko: The most well-rounded Trek protagonist, and the one who took the greatest character journey.
Janeway: Yes, she made mistakes. But she was still awesome.
Archer: Inoffensive, but unexceptional.
Burnham: See "Archer".
Mariner: I find her irritating, maybe because I'm more like Boimler.
Tal: He has his moments. But needs seasoning.
Pike: Too soon to be sure, but I like him so far.

 

Sisko. Guy had a sense of humour.

 

Jean-Luc, of course. (No, I’m not biased at all. lol)

 

Of course you're not.

 

Multiple votes make it difficult to pick just one or two.... So I picked several characters. Kirk, Sisko and Picard among them.

 

Kirk & Sisko

 

Kirk.

Ranking the captains (of the shows I've seen) top to bottom:

Kirk
Picard
Pike
Sisko
Archer
Janeway
Burnham

 

Burnham in a heartbeat.

 

Sisko and Pike (My decision for Pike is based solely on his appearances in DSC as SNW is not out here yet )
Picard would have been up there as well, but I didn't really like him in his own show, so he was "averaged out". And Mariner almost made it but I just find her too much sometimes.

 

This thread has opened my eyes to being a bigger fan of the supporting characters than the series leads for my whole life

 

For those who chose Burnham, can you provide any insight as to why you like the character? Genuinely curious. Not a fan of her but I don't Outright dislike the character. Would be interested in hearing other people's perspective.

 

This is "What's your favorite Star Trek series?" by another name...

... but my answer is Kirk.

 

Boimler is missing

 

Kirk
Sisko
Pike

The rest (all of whom I like…but just couldn’t rank at this time)

 

Sorry, I was thrown by the use of the word "is."

Was that Clinton-esque of me?

Nah, I thought we had to pick just one.

Anyway, added in the rest of my favorites:

Kirk (TOS, TAS)
Picard (TNG, PIC)
Sisko (DS9)
Janeway (VOY)
Pike (SNW)
Mariner(LD)
