Who is the better captain?

[Djangonator]

Kirk or Picard??

VS

[Esmeralda]

Honestly...

young man = hot = 10 points

old man = ugly*(( potential amount of cash) possible grandson) = 10 points

It's a draw. But if you gave me 10 seconds to decide I'd go with

[EDIT]
I assume the better looking one is the better captain >_>;;

[SirJackRex]

PICARD YOU IDIOTS!

[Irock]

Picard by a landslide.

[Malson]

The 8-ball said Kirk. Plus I have fanfic of him and Spock. Plus Picard is lame.

[SirJackRex]

Skank, you know that this is kirk now:


He also wears a rug...

[Esmeralda]

And this is Picard.

[Djangonator]

I have never seen anything so win in my whole life.

[SirJackRex]

And this is Picard.

Not cool honey bunches.

[Malson]

And this is Picard.

You couldn't have played that any better :*

I feel the in the generation series the show was given proper time to correctly evolve (i.e. technical evolution in one aspect, the show appeared to be quite realistic especially compared to the original, with the directors using more of the digital aspect in the cosmetic features, rather then puppetry) which allowed the producers to give the fans what they truly wanted and also with more experience they knew what would work better in the show (a realistic captain, stern, strong, intelligent, bald, compared to an overweight oaf or 'bafoon'..) and also incorporated real-world science into the show.


My first evidence in this matter is the ratings and awards;

Generations had the highest ratings of all the Star Trek series. [1]

Generation was also nominated for an Emmy for Best Dramatic Series in 1994 and received a Peabody Award for Outstanding Television Programming. [2]



My second evidence would of course have to be the length of both series;

Star Trek ran for a total of two series, Generations on the other hand ran for seven.


We can also look at the acclaim of both actors;



As we can see in this historical picture, we observe Picard meeting with President Bush, Bush having just offered Picard Presidency, but he humbly refused knowing that with his perfect order America would become far too great and economically crippling all other nations into third world slums due to his perfect rulership.



Here we can see Picard as he broke the racial boundaries of the late 50's, being the first white man to greet an African-American as an equal, of course the leaders at the time followed suit and brought in affirmative action to follow in Picards graceful ways.



This is of course when Picard set the body building record in 1992 and was named Mr Universe. The record still stands today.


Of course compared to Kirk, who's only notable public action was when he was caught selling Crystal Meth to school children, as seen here;



We can see that Picard, as a real person, is far greater then Kirk.

My final and most noteworthy evidence would be this link;

Picard IS Star Trek

[Roph]

LOL saucy. Also, voted picard by default when I saw the poll.

[Moss.]

Fun Fact: Patrick Stewart (Picard) is, in fact, 9 years younger than William Shatner (Kirk).


Voted Picard because he knows how to act and didn't feel the need to rip his shirt in every episode.

Well, William Shatner is good in Boston Legal.
But yeah, I agree, the original was pretty bad.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?!  Picard can suck kirks manly cock, Kirk ftw.

Is it just because he's canadian?

[biohazard]

No, Shatner is star trek.

[Dwarra?]

^FAIL

[biohazard]

Gtfo, I don't even know you guys if you think Picard is better than Kirk.  Kirk fucking made the series, without Kirk, there would be nothing.

[Moss.]

No, Shatner is star trek.

And Star Trek sucked. Hard.

The only people who think that are 50 year olds and Canadians.

[voice of reason]

Sisko was a better captain. This is fact, not conjecture.

[SirJackRex]

Sisko was a better captain. This is fact, not conjecture.

Next Generation was by far the best Trek ever made. Sisko doesn't even come close to Kirk, and that says a lot.

One reason why it is so fucking awesome.
