Not to mention even the Sisko admits Kirk is awesome.
to put you to sleep...
He's not called "The Sisko" for nothing
For some people the fairly moderate intellectual level of Trek is obviously far too high.
Mackenzie Calhoun liberated a planet before he was 18, before he even joined the Academy. he welded his face back together after it was cut open by a sword. with no anaesthetic. Calhoun punches everyone out with one punch that most people don't even see coming. Calhoun defeated Apollo's family.
so, yeah.
so, yeah.
I thought no one was equal to Captain Robau?
So very true. Of all the Captain's Sisko is the best, but seeing as how it was just a Kirk vs Picard question I went with the Englishman in the Frenchman's body.
No. No he doesn't. Even Captain Esteban of the Grissom beats Archer.
Uhm, err... what?
Aah. The same old butthurt anti-French joke.
Nope. Picard surrendered in his first episode and Kirk buried a man who was evolving into a god.
Yep, video is uploaded by a reactionary guy who says that "the glory of France ended with Napoleon". Says everything you need to know about this 'Picard is a coward' nonsense.
Okay, how about Captain Ransom? Or Pike?
Nice try skirting the rules but this is basically the same as calling the poster you quoted dumb. Flaming is against the board rules.
One infraction for flaming. Comments to PM.
Captain Ransom was obsessed with getting his crew home, and damn the consequences. Though morally bankrupt, he was still better than Archer--I felt sorry for him, rather than just wanting to kick him full force in the crotch (as I often felt when watching Archer).
Pike was a good Captain, he really felt the burdens of command but kept on making the hard decisions (the TV version that is). The film version was ready, willing and able to sacrifice himself for the good of his ship and crew.
I'm with the "Kirk is better camp." That's not to say Picard is a bad captain/character, because he's not. It's just that I find Kirk adds a bit more style to the way he carries himself, no matter the situation.
Picard's adherence to Starfleet regs (in the series, not movies
) is admirable, and the lengths he goes to in order find a diplomatic solution to every problem is equally so...but sometimes both need a quick boot out the airlock in order to get problems solved and move on to the next planet of the week, and in that sense, Kirk is the perfect captain for the job. He IS a classic sci-fi action hero in the truest sense.

What about Harriman?
