Star Trek Captains

[jimmy olsen]

Which Captain do you want to serve under?


EDIT: Dammit, why can't we edit polls!?

This forum punishes bad spelling.

[jimmy olsen]

It's just a transposed letter, I spelled Captain correctly twice in the same post!

[Neil]

Somebody voted for Janeway.

Bitches represent - and now there are two.

[Ideologue]

Lol.

I voted Sisko, but I didn't read it carefully.  Whom would I want to serve under?  Probably Picard.  That ship wasn't in the shit, most of the time.  Whereas if I choose Sisko, I likely die in the war.  (If I choose Janeway, I likely die horribly.)

What little ground Kirk loses with to Picard, Spock totally makes up for in smoking Riker.  I would feel confident in that leadership dynamic.

The rest are posers.  Except Janeway.  She was cool as all balls.

[Fireblade]

Kirk, because you know he'd be down to run train on some green-skinned slut with big ol' titties from Omicron V with me.

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.

And because it is so lovely.

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

Yeah, wouldn't have had a problem working for her.  I prefer competence over gender.

I was talking Trek once and came up with the idea that a starship--being heavily armed and mobile--may be the safest place in the universe, given that all of the Federation's enemies have access to weapons that can kill a planet, and one of the most important of them also has cloaking devices that would permit them to attack without warning.

I mean, where would you rather your family have been during Fail Safe?  In the B-58, or in New York City?

See, but it was a research ship with guns.  The fact that the Enterprise was so powerful was a function of the superior technology of Starfleet.

And also, because Gene Roddenberry was a hippie.

DS9 is ad hoc lore rewriting bullshit.
