Yeah, I'm not seeing a Mal option, does that seem right to you?

Or a Jack Harkness option but I have my doubts as to him ever actually captaining anything so he probably doesn't count.

I would have to go with Picard eventhough I didn't watch alot of Next generation episodes. He's pretty much a serious but respectful captain and a good leader aswell.

Man, I came in here expecting to be able to throw my vote in for Captain Jack Harkness. Misleading title is a bit misleading.

Oh well, I suppose my vote would go in for Picard.

Janeway, although Picard seems to naturally fit the role best and is still the first one that comes to mind when I think of anything Star Trek.

Captain Jean Luc Picard for Acting, James T. Kirk for being a sort-of-Commander Shepard (like Chris Pine better than Shatner though, the original Kirk was overshadowed by Spock, McCoy and Scotty), and Janeway for being the best acted female character that leads her own series.

..But Picard still wins in the end, for me. TNG is the series I grew up on, and Captain Picard always seemed to embody the more core values and messages (diplomacy, philosophy, literature, submarine-esque warfare, etc) of Star Trek overall.

Oh, and just to put it in here, DS9 was the best series for showing off massive system scale conflict and in-general ship combat (the Dominion War).

Has anyone here seen the movie "The Captains?" It's directed by William Shatner and quite good. Look it up.

Captain Hammer! Failing that Captain Malcolm Reynolds. Nathan Fillion makes the best Captains.

Really? I always thought it was the beard that made him such a chick magnet. Personally, I always though the younger, beardless Riker was the sexier version.

Anyway, my favorite captain is probably Sisko. I prefer TNG as a series, but that's mostly because I like the other characters better (Data).

What, the Star-Spangled Man With A Plan doesn't get an option?


Even if he did, I would still have to vote for Captain Marvelous (which nobody will understand unless they also watch "Gokaiger" but I stand by my choice).

I can't, in all good concious vote on this pole because Captain Commando is not in it.

In all seriousness thou, Kirk.
