Star Trek Captains

meh, a mere White Star 1 wannabe, just like DS9 is a Bab5 wannabe.

I've watched both, and while there are similarities, the story arcs are rather different.

Why'd you stick it to Kira, anyway?  Once Worf showed up on the scene, he took a lot more watches commanding the Defiant.

Also, saying that the Defiant was the first battleship is just wrong.  It was the first battleship designed to combat the Borg, and it's the first Federation ship to have a cloaking device.  In Star Trek III, the Enterprise is clearly referred to as a battlecruiser.  Also, even in DS9, the Lakota's obviously been set up as a battleship, and it's a much older ship than the Defiant.

I went for Sisko, BTW.  For shiggles.

But isn't it referred to as a battlecruiser by the Klingons?  That doesn't count.

Kira was the station's first officer, and DS9 was Sisko's command for the majority of the series.

I'm with Age on this. In the end, its seems as though Picard's Enterprise was a fun place to be.  Poker games all the time. Holodecks, where anything can happen,  10 Forward never seemed to run out of synthahol; and even Data got laid. Not to mention--who wouldn't mind an annual physical from Doctor Crusher.

Tough choice, I voted Picard/Riker. I like Picard over Kirk but like Spock much better than Riker. 

[Admiral Yi]

All the touchy feely empathy crap under Picard/Riker would drive me nuts.  Vote Kirk/Spock.

[Faeelin]

I've always thought that people who mock the Enterprise as an exploration vessel are missing the point. There's some Weimar shenanigans going on here.  "It's a vessel of peace" right up until it takes out several warbirds.

[lustindarkness]

The poll right now looks like its flipping the bird at us, with Picard winning of course.

[Tonitrus]

With just one episode, Captain Garret of the Enterprise-C is far better than Janeway, insofar as female captains go.

But then there is certain death there. 

[Ed Anger]

Wasn't that the episode with Shooter McGavin?

I was just shy of 2 years old.

Yes, it seems so.  In fact, I think he was filling the First Officer role in to dead man's boots.

Same. but Sisko/Worf are up their for me.

[Ideologue]

Probably Picard.  That ship wasn't in the shit, most of the time.

Never understood why a ship like that--a warship with research functions, not vice versa, and sent off to the far corners of the universe, alone--would have families on board.  Talk about a fleet going soft.

It wasn't supposed to be a warship, though.  DS9 makes clear that the Defiant-class was the first true warship Starfleet ever built.

I don't think DS9 wanted to be watchable but weak.
