Favourite Star Trek captain?

[spiritslayr]

Best episode for Sisko would probably be "In The Pale Moonlight", precisely because there is no way in hell any of the other captains would ever visit as dark and unethical a place as he is forced to, hence the line in the show "You might as well forget the whole enterprise."

He's repeating himself toward the end (" I can live with it...") as though trying to convince himself of what he's saying, but can't quite manage it, even though his personal sacrifice will potentially save millions.

That was one of the first DS9 episodes that I watched all the way through. At first I thought DS9 would be boring because its not about being on spaceship exploring everwhere. But this episode made be realise that it is just as good, if not better than the others.

it has to be picard and it's mostly because of this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjNKyoRudOQ]

I completely agree. That's Picard in a nutshell: Pure class.

Kirk might try to follow an act like that with a song of his own, but he'd probably stop halfway through to try and get with a green alien slave girl.

I watched the original Star Trek pilot(the one that was rejected), and that Christopher Pike fellow would have been pretty cool. I also sort of wish the series had continued in the direction of that old pilot episode, it looked pretty interesting and more of what I'd imagine future space travel to be like(albeit in some very small aspects).

The Borg queen. Lets face it she was the most cutthroat, intolerent, effective and rational of them all.

Also I agree with the guy above me, I too wonder why noone liked Enterprise. I loved what I saw of it for the most part.

 

[Muir]

Kirk, Hands down, He gave life to the role, the human aspect, the guy every guy wanted to be.

 

[Altorin]

captain picard.

classically trained thespian at the helm of one of the best ships in the history of the future. yeah

 

[TheGreatGonzo26]

That guy from Enterprise! Ooo what's his name with the dog, Porthos... ARCHER! Yeah, I really liked Archer.

 

[Aiden Rebirth]

Thank you, hehe....

Picard is absolutely fantastic as the captain....Not melodramatic in the least, tasteful, elegant......Best captain the Enterprise could ask for.

haing watched all (thats right i said ALL) of the TV show's, seen all the movies and read damn near all the books i have to say .........

Picard takes it.

hes the one captian that id serve under no questions asked. hes the one captian that id WANT to serve under. hes what a captian should be, the crew and the ship come first unless its an extream situation then hes shown to be able to make the tough calls. hes a steady hand and is more likley to settle a problem with all sides happy than just saying screw it arm the phasers.

Kirk i like because hes the original and because hes a hero. the trouble with heros though is alot of people get dead to make them one. sure he comes home from every mission but its usualy with half the crew dead and a busted up ship. hes the guy i want in the captians chair when the phasers start blasting but not the guy i want on patrol , hes as apt to START a war as end one.

the others dont really diserve a mention for me because while they are captians they dont have nearly the scope in their shows/books that those first 2 do. the havent made much 'history'. most of there stuff is very much limited to their station/ship and doesnt actualy effect the whole federation. well Sisko kinda does but you get the feeling his whole story is more about his little corner of the universe than as a major player in the Star Fleet history books. future cadets wont be reading his life story dreaming of becoming just like him. same with the other 2.

from just an acting standpoint "Picard" still takes it, hes perhaps the only guy in history that can make being "french" look badass. i can see him looking Hitler in the eye and backing him down with just a speach and a shake of his head.

as for any of them id like to be, thats Riker hands down. young, second in line to the best job in the fleet, and gets more ass than a toilet seat. what more could you want?

 

[Smiles]

Sulu is my favorite.

 

[Jamanticus]

Sulu is my favorite.

Oh yeah, I forgot that he was a captain....

Still, I stay by Picard- Sulu's good and witty and all, but he's not Picard.

There was an episode where exacty that happened. Valiant? Red Squad?

The Borg queen. Lets face it she was the most cutthroat, intolerent, effective and rational of them all.

Actually yea she is great. I would also like to add that Riker was really good.

 

[Wyatt]

thats because hes lame as hell and they hoped by wishing it to be so and writing it into a script it could make it true.

let me put it this way hes not someone ID be looking to base my command after.

 

[fluffylandmine]

I favor Picard.

Kirk was a barbarian, the rest are not even note-worthy enough to have a remarkable role.

Besides he just has the best voice ever. That being said: Mr. Pearlman you will have your apology letter in the mail soon.

 

[Russ Pitts]

Seriously Picard. He made it cool to be bald. Well, if not cool, at least ... not not cool.

 

[xitel]

Picard. Easily Picard. He was the most invested in the role. He really seems like a captain. All the other seasons, I had to wait for someone to say "Captain etc." for me to figure it out. Picard really has a sense of command about him.

 

[Reillk]

Torn between Sisko and and Picard. I think both are strong leaders (and good actors playing them) but Picard sometimes seem to try to hard for the peaceful route when they might have done better firing the first shot for once. Very diplomatic, which I like but in some cases...like the first couple encounters with the Borg, was not the best tactic. Sisko was much more decisive but I can't help but think he wouldn't be too much fun the serve under.
