You know in hindsight he was just a skirt chasing sexist pig that got his shirt ripped a lot. Oh and he got fat too. But considering how bad the rest of the Federation seemed back then (Every Federation official was either stupid or insane) I guess Kirk was ok. :D

Yes, a TITAN among MEN!

Any who, here goes the one and only Mustang Download!
*clears his throat*

James Tiberious Kirk,
although thought to have been womanizing and impulsive. James Kirk had to be the closest character in all the series to actually displaying Humanity. (I'm not talking about shatner, as most his cast would say he was quite difficult to work with.) But Jim kirk set the standard for Star Trek and the Federation Directives, though he occasionally bent them at times. His actions led to a greater good, the ends do not always justify the means. However his means usually came to a positive outcome. While many think he was womanizer, the truth is he was appreciator of women. Jim kirk did something no other Captain in Starfleet had. He looked for the similarities in all species, he looked for humanity in all things and tried to make an amicable relationship based on those similarities. Impulsive yes, he always leaped before he looked.

Jean-luc Picard,
Undoubtedly the most Advanced of the Starfleet Officers, Picard set a new kind of standard and was said to be, as quoted from Gene Roddenberry, "His Ideal Leader in the Star trek Universe." Picard was everything one could want in a Starfleet Captain his character was the protector of the federation, the first line of defense always(except First contact where his experience with the Borg made Starfleet edgy about sending him in.) his past was dark and shrouded in mystery he looked like a man, a real man. Not a self-confidant hot-shot but a man with regrets but who strives through life as we all do in hope that the world gets better everyday and one day he would be forgiven for his sins. He was logical, whereas kirk was not and always looked before he leaped. Picard held principals before all else whereas kirk held his personal Morales above all else.

Benjamin Lafayette Sisko,
he was an experiment, an attempt to merge the qualities and flaws of both James t Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard. He was impulsive.(Deny This? He decked Q on DS9! Impulsive Yes.) He did not have much in his past to regret. Instead of creating a character with a Dark past Pillar decided to give a everyday starfleet officer boyscout, a catalyst in which would elude him to the Darkside so to say, Sisko took command on DS9 after losing his wife(Jeniffer) in the Borg attack at wolf 359. Before that he was the ideal student and helped his father run a restaurant and just another guy. But when he lost Jeniffer, he swore he would never again take his son Jake into some dangerous situation aboard a starship like he did with his wife. So he accepted Command of the newly acquired DS9 which was a mining facility originally designed and run by the Cardassians and powered by a race known as the Bajoren who were slaves in the Cardassian union. Sisko would often be forced out of linear time and into some different dimension in which aliens would force him to make a logical decision. Instead of his decisions being thought of. The reason for this is the show, wanted to display the dark side of the Star trek Universe. Where there is no clear cut black and white, no truly good nor evil decision just greys and the lesser of two evils. Instead of a Dark past we were shown as he travelled through the dark side and at times became dangerously close to being enveloped by it. I think a man as aggressive as he that claimed to see aliens that no one else had ever seen before would have been at the least removed from Command until studied by SFC Analysts.

Kathryn Janeway,
the less I say about her the better...



































Alright,
alright, I'm not that chauvinist.
Janeway was Paramount attempt to take Starfleet in a completely new direction. A more feminine pro masculine direction in which rather then dealing with the dark side or weighing the good and evil like the proceeding Captains. Her actions were mostly based on emotion and compassion. She would many times try to follow protocol and attempt to be pro-masculine. Though she would often follow her own Morales before anyone elses, she would take advice from her crew but her decisions seemed to always be based on her cureent emotional state. She is the product of mixing all three Captains. In short a woman embodies many kinds of personalities, more so then men because our nature and our environment demand us to be of a certain kind of man whereas, women are permitted the luxury of having many types of personality. Often why they confuse and out think the youngest of the male gender. Now before anyone think I struck a blow for the feminist movement, let me make it perfectly clear. In my opinion the main difference between men and women is that women feel more emotions then men at a time. For instance when a woman leaves a man she thought she loved she will cry for days, weeks even, just flooding out her emotion.(Not all women) and then be able to treat the man she cried over as though he were a stranger and she'll seem cold. Because she let out her emotion she got over it. Whereas Men, we could take that same relationship if we really wanted it and be crushed by it for Months!(I was divorced, I know) We won't cry floods of tears and even if we do we don't do it all day as a woman usually would. So it is a longer process considering we hold it in longer. It lasts even longer when if we ever see the girl again and she treats us like a stranger. These are just my thoughts, I don't mean to force them on anyone.

I just felt my observations needed some explaining.
Mustang

You're missing John Archer ;)

But that's forgivable.

I agree with what you said about Sisko though, and to me, that's one of the things that made DS9 so memorable. Here was a captain that wasn't so bound by the right and wrong judgements of the others. Take 'In the Pale Moonlight' for example (great episode) where he lands up accessory to murder, all to bring the Romulan star empire into the war...and in the end, despite knowing that what he did was wrong, he had to admit that it was done for the right reasons.
And well...'The siege of AR-558', I couldn't see any other trek series doing that the way DS9 did.
:up:

:up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

May I put in a mention for Captain Pike.

One of the early pioneers.

I got to disagree with your assumption that he always looked for the "Humanity" in other species. He wanted to take revenge on all Klingons for killing his son. Same thing with that Cloud Creature in "Obsession". You said he was an ‘appreciator of women’ would you care to back that up with some examples? This guy left a trail of bastard children across the galaxy! Ok he had only two (that I can remember) David Marcus and Miramanee’s Child who was killed when she was stoned to death.

I guess I’m being hypocritical since I think Captain Rudy (Rudolf?) Ransom (of the USS Equinox from ST: Voyager episodes of the same name) was a good commander even though he committed mass murder to insure the survival of his crew.

Don’t forget Robert April the first CO of the 1701. ;)

I always liked the episode with the subtle scene in, I think, 'Wink Of An Eye.'

Theres a scene where Kirk is sitting on the edge of the cute Scalosians (sp) bed and he's slipping on his boots. :cool:

The ships in trouble and shes the enemy but he still found the time. Way to go Kirk! :up:
