Since this topic involves ALL the Star Trek series, I feel this topic is better suited to be in the General Star Trek Discussion forum as opposed to the Star Trek Voyager forum. Remember, General Star Trek Discussion is a forum involving just that, Star Trek in general, so please think about what your topic is going to be about and if it involves all series (as this one does), please post in the appropriate forum. Thank you, and welcome to STV too btw

Picard. He is one of my role models. In my opinion the best acting, writing, & directing of any of the star trek captains.

I do not believe that you can judge each captain biased on one another, as they all dealt with different crews, different experiences, and different starships.

My personal FAVORITES were Kirk, Picard, and Janeway, as I personally, was never fond of Sisko/Archer. But those are my personal thoughts.((Too Soap-opera-like/Too-anti-cannon-for-my-tastes, respectively))

However, when it comes to getting the job done, no matter the cost, including violating the prime directive, if it was the right thing to do, it was Kirk.

If it was finding a proper dinner style, resolving an impossible issue, or arguing with non-organic sentient life forms, Picard all the way.

And Janeway was just amazing. ^^

PostThu Mar 05, 2009 5:10 pm    My captain, my captain!

Just like choosing your favorite starship, this is completely a personal choice. For me, cool calm collected intellectual and with an accent to kill for, Picard is my captain of choice. Then Janeway: nothing beats a strong woman. Then Kirk, man of action. All the others blur into each other after that.

I'm Aaelan Arneaud, published author, screenwriter and contributor to Paramount Picture's spec script and internship programs for three of the series. It's not just Picard but the whole STNG series I prefer, and prefer to write about too. Please visit my website to see the STNG novel I'm offerring there free.

I think Janeway was the best. She led the crew home across the Delta Quadrant

I used to prefer Picard but have gotten to love Janeway.

Kirk#s character is too theatrical and lacks gravita (though I can imagine people wanting my head for that comment).

The others are not worth mentioning.

Picard and Janeway's characters were more defined.
