Star Trek Captains

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

And because it is so lovely.

*snip*

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

Yeah, she would have sacrificed you to save her holographic masturbatory aid.

[HVC]

Went picard becasue i'd be more likely to survive. Plus, a french man with an english accent? That means we won the future.

[Josquius]

picard would be the best to have as your boss.
kirk would probally be the worst, he'd be a horrible person to serve under

[CountDeMoney]

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.

All previous Enterprises still didn't have families on board.  Miniskirts, yeah.  Families with children, no.  That's simple negligence.

And here I thought you were throwing in for Whoopi.

[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.

But it's bullshit, since they fought wars with their ships.

See also, and especially, Yesterday's Enterprise--the one with the alternate reality where they've been at war with the Klingons for twenty years.  Is the Enterprise-D any different?  Well, it's badly lit.  That's the distinction between warship and explorer in the Trek universe: fewer fluorescent light bulbs.

God she was an annoying know it all, wasn't she?

New York, then.  Bad choice.

Between Sister Act and Reading Rainbow, I honestly didn't know what to make of Next Generations as a kid.

Back in reality, not so much.

Though I make more, adjusted for PPP, than I would in NYC doing the same job.  No shit.  That market is dead.  Doesn't affect you, I'm just saying.

The previous Enterprises were from Cold War land, where there was danger in the galaxy.  In Picard's time, the Romulans were in hiding and the Klingons were defeated and allied to the Federation.  It had been decades since they fought the Cardassians.  They had gone soft.
