Picard for me with Kirk a very close second.

S.
 
Picard is the only one of the lot to whom I would feel safe entrusting that kind of firepower. I think Patrick Stewart is really rather a good actor - underrated. The only thing I never quite believed in is that Picard was actually French. The relationship between him and Riker, particularly, always struck me as being the epitome of the relationship between a wise, experienced, British captain and a hot-headed young american first officer. Riker, I felt, might be very good at starting wars, while Picard would be good at preventing them. :)
 
If you are interested in seeing (or rather reading) Riker as a Captain, there is a good startrek book out now called "Titan". Set after the events in "Nemesis", Riker gets his own command with Troy as his first officer. Rather good book. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Since we wont be getting any more trek for a while, these books make a good substitute.

(Sorry, off topic)
 
Since we wont be getting any more trek for a while
...is there no new Star Trek on the horizon/in development then?
 
Well, there is a PC (only?) MMORPG in development.

There is also a possible movie featuring one cast or another.

Shatner recelntly announced some new books featuring Spock and Kirk before they joined starfleet also explaining how they got into starfleet.

Then there are all the other books and such.

TV show wise, It doesnt look bright just now. When Enterprise finished Braga and that other oaf said that "the frachise needed a rest" and that it had suffered from "over exposure".

Hopefully in a few years, they will make a new show with a whole new cast and be as good and refreshing as TNG was in its day.

And dont forget Gary the original Battlestar beats the remake lol......back to the subject it's definately Kirk who made the best captain. He's the Captain who would go into hell if necessary to give the devil a good hiding while the others were still trying to work out a sensible solution.
 
as many members will know i'm in the middle of a lost weekend. one of the characters thinks that Kirk is an awful captain because to many of his crew get killed on away mikssions - he may have a point :D

But Kirk had more per episode dangerrous villains, not stories about one of the crew running on the grass in Please Keep Off The Grass areas :D .
 
Can only vote once, but kirk comes second in my book....Picard had more thought for his fellow human/alien beings. Remember the song "we come in peace...shoot to kill shoot to kill". :D
