Who is the greatest Star Trek Captain?


We really embrace the tenets that form the basis of the Star Trek canology. They paint a future that is of optimism, exploration, natural and scientific marvel, an almost utopian society for humankind. Yet there is still struggle, conflict and disaster; eliciting such positive qualities as compassion, diplomacy, humour, ingenuity, and tenacity.

At the helm of these trials and tribble-ations, we have seen the likes of Kirk punching his way through adversity, Picard reasoning with it, Janeway attempting to be an understanding feminist, and Sikso talking about baseball a lot. Archer seems to leap from one hot spot to another unsure whether to behave as a mucho macho or a sympathetic liberal.

For this particular FAQer though, the greatest Star Trek Captain can only mean one person. Deeply moral, highly logical, and cerebral, attentive to the needs of the crew, a master of diplomacy and debate who can resolve seemingly intractable issues between multiple parties but can demonstrate remarkable tactical skills when the situation requires it.

You make it so, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of La Barre, France, Earth.

And if you want to meet Captain Kirk you could do worse than attend the next Star Trek Convention here

I do agree Kirk is the greatest star trek captain but I also like Janeway cause I too am a bit feminist.
