Which Captain is the Least Boring (Who Would You Rather Hang Out)?

[Ro_Laren]

You can tell a lot about each of the five main Trek captains by what they do on their off time, for example what holodeck programs they run (for those that had that technology). Some run really boring holodeck programs. So based on what each series has shown us regarding the likes/dislikes of each captain and assuming they each had access to a holodeck, which would you rather hang out on the holodeck with if he or she were to choose the program)?

FYI, this isn't a question of which captain do you like the most. For example, Picard is my favorite captain but he would probably want to run some stupid Shakespeare play on the holodeck. I would rather hang out with Kirk 'cause maybe we could participate in a more action oriented program. On the flip-side, while Janeway is my second favorite Trek captain, she'd be my least favorite to hang out with on the holodeck. She'd make me wear an ugly dress and participate in some Victorian era holodeck program.

Re: Which Captain is the Most Boring?

Dangit... I wanted to put up a poll for which captain you would least want to hang out with, but I messed up. Grrr....

Anywho, here are my votes:

Hang Out With: Kirk
Don't Hang Out With: Janeway

Reasons: They're stated in the post above.

Re: Which Captain is the Most Boring?

Given the thread title, I voted for Archer. But the poll question is exactly the opposite.

Botched thread. I want my vote back.

^ Sorry. I must admit that this thread & it's polls did not turn out the way I intended. Maybe we should all type in our answers like I did (look at my example below):

Hang Out With: Kirk
Don't Hang Out With: Janeway

Reasons:

Alright;

Even though Deep Space Nine is my favorite series and Sisko is my favorite Captain... My vote for who I'd most like to hang out with goes to Kirk. Because, frankly, Sisko scares me a little.

Kirk, on the other hand, would probably get me laid. And very drunk.

Don't hang with goes to Archer. Because Bakula is a tool.

Re: Which Captain is the Most Boring?

I would hang with the Sisko, Vic's looks kinda fun.
Second choice would be Kirk, although I would like the intellectual stimulation with Jean-Luc.

Janeway: the holodeck programs were dull to the max. Except for the Da Vinci one.

Archer: Nah.

(I voted for Sisko in the Poll but I will state here that he was one of the LEAST boring captains going)

Since you edited your thread title, I edited it the same way when it appears on the forum page. I hope that helps

Kirk will have you horseback riding
Picard will have you in some Dick Tracy Detective scene
Janeway will have you at a Renaissance Fair - at least you can have fun while she's getting hit on by some green tights geek.
Archer can't find the holodeck.
Sisko wouldn't go in with you, he'll find a real life crisis to deal with.

Thanks!!!!

I am suprised at the number of votes Janeway has received. I would be bored to tears if I was in a holodeck program of Da Vinci, the Renaissance, or that dumb Irish Pub.

Kirk, we could go climbing. and maybe sit on a balcony in boston with a drink and a cigar, then he could shoot me with a paintball gun :P

Cant say he dosent count, Denny Cranes Phone makes the Communicator beep noise :P

Picard, I think I would enjoy the Dixon Hill programmes and I think he would be a good person to conversate with. Janeway would also be cool to spend time with.

Least like to spend time with: Archer/Kirk

 

[Praetor]

Kirk.

I'd give an honorable mention to Janeway, Victorian holonovels excluded, because the DaVinci sim seemed okay. Fair Haven... not so much. I didn't vote Sisko because I hate playing baseball.

 

[Piper]

Picard, because he's the one with the most similar interests to me. It'd be a lot of fun to join in his Dixon Hill programs too.

I have a nasty feeling I'd have absolutely nothing to talk to Janeway about though.

 

[urbandk]

I voted for Archer. I honestly think he would be the most fun to hang out with. Sisko was a close second.

 

[kythe]

I actually voted for Sisko because he seems to have the most interesting personal life. He's a family guy, enjoying time with his son and he plays baseball. My daughter plays softball, so I think we could have a lot in common.

Kirk is too much of a womanizer, Picard is intellectual but somewhat boring, and Janeway is stuck in the past. So Sisko it is.

 

[Count Zero]

Mmh, tough choice, since two of the Captains didn't have access to a holodeck.
From the holodeck activities we've seen, I find those of Janeway the most boring (with the exception of Da Vinci and Captain Proton, though that wasn't really hers).
Picard's are pretty cool.
Did we ever see Sisko in another than Vic Fontaine's? Though I liked the setting, it would be a bit boring. Baseball would be ok.
I shudder to think what kind of programs Kirk would run when nobody's watching... Honestly, I feel he had better things to do.
Archer's programs would probably involve water polo or beating up Vulcans or a combination thereof, punching Vulcans with a water polo ball.

So, I can't really decide who I'd really hang out with on the holodeck, only that I'd be least tempted by going with Janeway.
Since he doesn't get a lot of love around here, I'd go with Archer, in the hope that it won't involve water polo.

 

[judge alba]

think id hang out with kirk the most or secondly archer
i wouldn't want to hang out with picard, not too keen on Shakespeare.
though i wouldn't mind playing pool with janeway she's supposed to be good

 

[Jono]

Sisko, especially since we'd be on DS9 and have access to Quark's "special" holo-programs.

 

[lceb]

I voted Archer because probably Trip would hang around. Does this count?

 

[kissthestar]

I would like a workbench in Janeway's Leonardo Room.
