Easy. KIRK

This is a quote from Futurama, "At least Picard admits he's bald"

I would have to say Picard, i would say he is a better leader.

lol, cute

While guys who can talk are good, sometimes you just have to act.
Kirk was an action kind of guy, and Picard was just to cerebral. If he had balanced it out, who knows.

Kirk is more active in TOS picard is less because he is older

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 4:17 pm**

I also liked the fact that Kirk never asked his crew to do something that he would not be willing to do. I think, though it makes sense, that they made a mistake in TNG in not allowing the Captain to lead the away teams as often. DS9 and Voyager were more like TOS in the fact that the captain was actively involved.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 4:20 pm**

Riker didn't want Picard to go on any away missions and they had an agreement that he wouldn't go only if it is a odd situation like when it envovles archeoligy

I would say Picard too he is a better Captain all around

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 5:40 pm**

Picard is a better strategist Kirk is more of a fighter

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 5:54 pm**

When Kirk was captain, they needed someone like him, because all of space was still a frontier, and you never heard of a diplomatic cowboy, did you? He had to fight for every inch. When Picard came into the scene, things were a whole lot different. The federation was much larger, and they had more allies, and more than 13 starships.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 5:58 pm**

yes you are right but i am just saying the differences between the two

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 6:01 pm**

I know, that post wasn't a direct reply to yours, just a thought.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 6:05 pm**

oh ok

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 8:34 pm**

picard is much better he talks walks and acts better and he is closer to his crew

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 9:52 pm**

yah that is true but Kirk was suppose to be a mean agressive person and in the original they didn't really get into crew relationships and stuff that they have in TNG DS9 and voyager

Theresa · **Wed Jun 27, 2001 5:04 pm**

That's right. TOS was mainly about exploring space, meeting new species, etc....
Crew relationships were secondary, except of course for Kirks libido.

Iain of Nine · **Wed Jun 27, 2001 7:42 pm**

Yes if they would of had more ships and better systems on the ships they would of meet alot of more species then they did because compared to Voyager Ds9 and TNG

B'ElannaTorres-Paris · **Wed Jun 27, 2001 11:20 pm**

Picard definately, But he's from France right? Why does he speak with an english accent?

janeway9 · **Wed Jun 27, 2001 11:35 pm**

well I don't know maybe he never been there

Iain of Nine · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 3:25 pm**

Picard is smart but Kirk is strong

Theresa · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 3:35 pm**

Hey, Kirk is smart, too.
Rememer the Corbomite Maneuver?
And no one even got hurt.

Iain of Nine · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 3:59 pm**

he never ecen did anything

Theresa · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 5:27 pm**

That's the whole point. He diffused a volatile situation w/ out force.

Iain of Nine · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 5:31 pm**

but picard is still better

Theresa · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 5:47 pm**

Yeah, in fantasy land.

J/K

Iain of Nine · **Thu Jun 28, 2001 5:53 pm**

what if picard was like right out of Starfleet academy he could kick kirk's ass anyday picard is a better strategist though but Kirk is stronger
