YES! Star trek owns... screw the suckers who call us nerds. :D
My list goes like this:
Kirk (Good - Perfect - Chuck Norris - KIRK!)
Archer
Picard
Sisko
Janeway (No sexism, but she's dumb. Without her stupid rules, voyager would have been home years ago)
Thats my list lol. :D
By the way, STEED posted this on another thread, Picard would get owned. Hes just too slow.

Lt. Cmdr. Sisko is not a captain of a star ship and that's why he's not in there.

Kirk for me. I never could get past the original series and cast. :oops:
Kirk got all of that sexy alien nookie and stuff, but if I'm being honest then it has to be Jean Luc Picard, hands down every time.
"One day, out of irritation, I said, you know all of those years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, all those years of playing kings and princes and speaking blank verse, and bestriding the landscape of England was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the captain's chair of the Enterprise." - Patrick Stewart.
I've never really worked out the diffrance between starwars and startreck.....

No questions asked. Kirk wins. Picard is second. Janeway is third. Archer is fourth. Don't ask me why, I like voyager. Picard get points for being a Borg for a couple of moments :D
Kirk lead the way.

BTW - I voted Picard.
Sisko was only a Lt. Cmdr. for about ten minutes during the Wolf 359 scenes...for the first three seasons he was a Commander, and for the remaining four, he was a Captain. Additionally, the Defiant was on the show for Seasons 3-7 (in other words, five of the seven seasons, well over half), and he deserves to be in the poll.
Gaaah! STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!
One of the best ships in the Federation, one of the best captains and you don't put him in your list?!!
Well, I'm gonna vote for him anyway!! :arrgh!:
Did Picard lead the final battle against the Dominion? Did Kirk come up with the strategy to help retake the only thing between the Alpha Quadrant and Dominion enslavement? Did Archer resort to working with a former Cardassian spy to murder a Romulan senator to bring the Romulan Star Empire into the war? Did Janeway fight hand to hand with an invading Klingon force at DS9 or the Jem'hadar at AR-558?
Ok, Picard got assimilated and kicked some Borg Queen butt, Kirk had his son killed (whereas most people wish that Sisko's son had died instead, whiney little s...) and kicked some Klingon, and Gorn butt, Janeway negociated a deal with the Borg and scored Seven of Nine, and Archer....well...yeah, he managed to survive in his Weak-Kneed Dinghy of Suckitude for as long as he did without the Romulans or Klingons blowing it to smithereens.
But Sisko, he had his wife killed, wound up commanding a space station in the middle of nowhere which then suddenly became a galatical crossroads, became a religious icon by discovering the Temple of the Prophets, as well as the Alpha Quadrants only stable wormhole. He's managed to help stop the Bajorans and Cardassians from blowing each other to bits, taken delivery of the warship he helped to design (which was put into successful production), successfully fended off a Klingon assault on the station, despite being heavily outnumbered, planned and lead the retake of DS9 from Dominion forces, got the Romulans involved in the war on the Federations side (could you see Picard plotting to dupe a Romulan senator?), lead the first successful assault into the Chin'toka system, fought in the Siege of AR-558, and then lead the final assault against Cardassia...despite losing his ship.
Then, to top it all off, he sacrifices himself to stop the Pah'wraiths from getting out of their prison.
If that does not deserve a poll option, despite the fact that the Defiant was only in it from the start of Season Three, but she certainly made up for it in style and firepower...so... :rock:
VOTE FOR SISKO!!
(Caution, all of the above is written by a self-confessed DS9 fan, and is liable to be completely biast....but...still....vote for Sisko!!!)

My vote is for Benjamin Layfatte Sisko!!
BTW Sisko did save Earth once or twice. Remember the episode where he goes back in time and becomes the leader of a revolt the shaped the future. (It was a two parter.)

We could do without the alpha quadrant easier than we could do without earth.
Yeah, but if the Dominion had gained an upper hand, Earth would have been next on the target list in order to eliminate human resistance, after all, that was Weyoun's plan.
In the end the Breen did a suicide run at it instead.

Good greif, i think id have to toss a coin between Kirk and Picard. The Next Generation took awhile to grow on me, but once it stuck it was hard to let go. So.. for me its a toss up between the two. After next generation thoguh, i stopped watching. It was just getting long in the tooth and overdone after that.
I did cast a vote for Jean Luc Picard, but if Benjamin Sisko was there, he would have received my vote.:up: However, some certain pollster decided to omit him from the poll...:stare:
I am surprised at the amount of people who would have voted for Sisko though - I didn't think many other people besides me really liked DS9. I am not surprised that no one has voted for Janeway or Archer (at least at the time of this post), although I have nothing against either of them and actually watched Voyager and Enterprise quite often. Actually, I liked the series finale of Voyager better than some Start Trek movies (like Generations or Insurrection) - much better than the second part of the series finale of DS9 (which felt rushed and poorly planned to me).
I read the thread and worked out the Sisko vote for you fluffy bunnies :p
Kirk 18
Picard 15
Sisko 4 (but I shall give him another 5) now 9
Now shut up, your sounding like me and there can only be one grumpy man in the UK and that job goes to me. :smug:
It's got to be Kirk, and I'll tell you why too:
Crewman: What on Earth are we gonna do!?
Captain James T Kirk: Nuke the planet from orbit, but beam up the bad guy's chick first, I want to get down with her.
or..
Crewman: What on Earth are we gonna do!?
Insert any Next Generation captain's name: We must retire to a safe distance and consider the Prime Directive. Let's have a discussion with the onboard psychologist and then have a play in the Holodeck for a while. Make it so.
And what about Captain Christopher Pike or whatever his name was, the original NCC-1701 Enterprise Captain, where's he on the poll?
:D Chock

Zapp Brannigan: April 13th... point two. We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars?... Kif, I'm asking you a question!
Yeah, I know that was wrong, I put it that way because apparently NTE in the Protector's registration number (NTE-3120 - as a referencee to NCC-1701) stood for 'Not The Enterprise'. The movie is full of references like that one incidentally. It's a work of genius.

"I died in Episode 81!!!!"
Not in the whole series he was not. :smug:
What about the episode where Picard goes on the secret mission into Cardassian space and is captured and Captain Jellicoe became captain of the Enterprise? Huh, huh? Or the episode where he's moving through 3 time frames? He was only captain for like 66% of that episode, being just a tottering old fool in the other 33%.
Naw Sisko was awesome, but Picard is the best. But I personally thought that DS9 was the best Star Trek. The fact that it involved a persistent story that lasted for most of the show was great. The Dominion War kicks Star Wars' butt.

DAMN right! No namby-pamby discussion stuff here, just DO it.
Speaking of Pike, they're coming out with another series, Kirk and Spock, the early years. I say they should dump that and let's do Pike's years exploring. 13 years of exploring. 13 years of NOT KNOWING what's on that unexplored planet you're heading to.
Where is that guy from "Deep Space nine" as a poll option?
More proof, as if proof were needed, that Kirk is the man:
'99 Knights of the air
ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by.'
:D Chock
If the question was who is the coolest captain i'd say Kirk, but the question is who is the greatest captain.
Now if you were a crew member in star trek who would you rather be serving? If Kirk was my captain I can guarentee I wouldn't be part of any away teams, that's a death sentence with Kirk leading the way.
:hmm:
It's only a death sentence if you wear the Red yeoman shirt of death, wear a different coloured shirt and you'd be fine.
But on a more serious note, the real problem I have with the more recent versions of Star Trek, is not so much the characters, as the storylines. I think the newer programmes rely too much on technobabble to get out of dramatic situations, rather than by using intelligent scripting. By that I mean, there could be some dire emergency in a newer episode, which has you wondering what on Earth they can do to save themselves, when they'll sidestep the issue by having the science guy say some crap like 'What if we crossfeed the bilateral inverter streams with Jeffrey's Tube number seven and reverse the axial flow?' and lo and behold, it will sort stuff out. They never used to pull that crap on the original series, it was usually a much cleverer resolution to things.
They might just as well say: 'Have you tried switching it off and then back on again?'
:D Chock

ROFL and completely agree with the rest of your post. They got too far away from Roddenberry's emphasis on human condition. But that sounds too philosophical for this thread.... "Security team, set phasers on stun." "Yes sir! I go to meet my Script with a happy heart!"
Yeah TNG did get a little 'technical' although I do remember a few episodes from the original series where a similar thing happened. And when it comes to silly scripts, that's just a world of tribble... I mean trouble right there.

Yeah TNG did get a little 'technical' although I do remember a few episodes from the original series where a similar thing happened.
Are you mad? The ones that cover the human condition best are easily the original and TNG. I can think of piles of 'human condition' stories in TNG. If anything the one that took on 'tech' too much was Voyager. I saw a show where the producers said so, that they did it on purpose. If you listen to the script the number of 'transvayleon fluctuations in the high EM band' stuff is just excessive next to TNG or DS9.
My favourite TNG epi is the one where Picard has his mind taken control of by an alien probe and he lives the life of another man from a long dead civilization in less than an hour. Another one is about him meeting and getting taken to a planet by that race that speak in metaphors and he tells the story of Gilgamesh and bonds with the man. Or when Picard gets tortured and the psychology of it comes out. Or Sarek is losing his mind and uses Picard as a mental crutch to complete a diplomatic mission but as a result Picard has to suffer the burden of Sarek's wild emotions. Then theres the non-stop story of Data's search for humanity.
Thats ALOT of human condition stuff off the top of my head. DS9 was the one that focused more on persistent storyline but still did human condition stuff. Voyager did some too but was most hevy on the technical jargon. Sometimes it made me embarassed to watch when they explained how simple it was in weird invented terms.
You want believable science justifications watch Stargate SG-1. They actually use existing string theory for most of their stuff.
SG-1 was a great show, pitty about Atlantis though. I just couldn't get into that.

3)Sisko
Janeway & Archer don't really count imo , Archer especially.
A little off topic here, but did anyone play Star Trek : Legacy with the Ultimate Universe Mod ? Now the game is almost what it was originally advertised to be.

Agree 100%, the story about Picard living another life was one of the best episodes in my opinion. The one with Picard getting tortured was superb as well.

Unless you want to be really geeky, in which case, this guy is definitely the first commander of the Enterprise (OV-101):

now there's a real Captain :)
Although on-topic I voted for Picard as I see him as a sane captain and someone I might not die serving :p .
Boring as tripe though :oops:

Ahahahahahahahaha:up: :lol:
lol better late than never (perhaps?)
has to be Kirk of course BUT "Kill 'em all" Janeway (as oppose to "hmm ..that's interesting" Sisko or "if i stand here long enough something will happen" Picard)
has to be the closest to Kirk in her utterly insane decisions regarding the prime directive (and it's ilk)#
a fairly good example of this is when Voyager discovers the million year old collosal antena array...(a truly ancient artifact of a alien culture that is spread across an entire section of the universe.)..and destroys it just so she can evade two persueing ships..pure Kirk....in fact remember that Original series episode when kirk and an ex girlfriend swop bodys?.....reckon janeway IS Kirk LOL:hmm: :lol:

The forgotten captains (however brief they were around) :rotfl:
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Rachel_Garrett
Rachel Garrett
Captain of the Enterprise C.
http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/John_Harriman
John Harriman
Captain of the Enterprise B.
Here is another list of Starfleet Captains (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Starfleet_captains), and a list of all Enterprises in the Star Trek Continueum (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Enterprise_history).
As for the Captains on the list, which Sisko should have been one of them, and would have been my prefered choice. This is how I would rate them:
1) Kirk
2) Picard
3) Archer
4) Janeway
Even though Picard was a great captain, and had a definatly different approuch to command then any of the other captains, the fact that his character attempted to become Kirk-Lite in the Next Generation Movies . . . means that Kirk is the mold that he wanted to fit into . . . and thus is better then Picard. If it wasn't for that change in the character, I would have went for Picard.
Of those not listed and should recieve honorable mention:
Sulu, Bateson, Shelby, Scott, and Jellico
