who do you think would make a good admiral

Paul Marshall · **Sun Mar 14, 2004 10:35 pm**

Well Picard of course! Who else?!?!?

Leo Wyatt · **Mon Mar 15, 2004 9:13 am**

Picard

Picard! He's the captain so it just feels right to promote him.

I think that Riker would make a better Admiral. It's not that Picard wouldn't make a good one, it's just that I think he makes a better Captain. And plus, Riker just has that almighty Admiral sense to him, too.

Picard deffenetly

Actually Picard was given a chance to become Admiral if he agreed to teach at Starfleet Academy but he declined on the offer.

I would say no one deserver it more than Mr.Worf

I don't want to go off-topic but I'd like to offer a real-life perspective of this.

My manager, a wonderful lady, is thinking about applying for promotion. The thing is-she's so good at her job, some people think she would be wasted in a higher position and that staying in her current position is more suited to her talents.

And that's the way things are sometime. My dad was a good policeman who never was interested in rising above the rank of a Patrol Officer (Constable here in the UK). I know he could have gone higher but he was so good on the streets, it'd have been a crime to take him off and have him promoted to Sergeant and then Inspector and so on...(Sorry if this sounds arrogant).

My point is, some people are just so good at their jobs, it's a crime to promote them.

I like the character of Riker very much, I think he was very well defined. IMO, his talents can only be put to good use if he's out there in space as a Captain. To promote him to a desk job would be wasting his talents.

On the other side of the coin, Picard would make a good Admiral due to his years of experience and his very good negotiating skills. He's a good Captain, one I'd serve under, but I feel he could do a lot of good as an Admiral.

I guess it depends on the character. Some are best suited to being on their ships exploring whilst others are more suited to desk jobs.

even though I voted picard; he's a good comanding officer. but my favourite character is riker 'cause he's funny!

Paul Marshall · **Sun May 02, 2004 9:39 am**

^Yeah, if Starfleet somehow comes down to choosing between Riker and Picard (for Admiral) by a test of 'funny-ness,' Riker would definately take the cake.

I think Picard would make a kick a$$ admiral.

Leo Wyatt · **Wed May 05, 2004 4:32 pm**

Yeah he would kick butt too wouldn't he.

lozanoj83 · **Sat May 08, 2004 2:49 pm**

Picard!

robbiewebster · **Wed May 12, 2004 9:33 am**

in generations kirk told picard never to let them promote you, but instead to stay the captain of your ship, i think he'll take this advice

also, data is smart, i think he should be admiral

He would make a very good Admiral!

superwoman · **Sat May 29, 2004 3:23 pm**

I think wesly sould be admiral... no just kidding! hate that guy.
I woted data, but now when i think about it I think jean luc would be more suited...

jbi507 · **Mon May 31, 2004 7:08 pm**

has to be picard

DemonClassY · **Tue Jun 01, 2004 3:44 pm**

I still say Riker. I just think that he is more with the authority thing than Picard. Picard is more of an action taker and is the best at what he does. He should just stay a Captain. He's the best.

Janeway7 · **Sat Jun 05, 2004 2:08 pm**

Has to be picard

startrekgirltng · **Thu Jun 17, 2004 4:36 pm**
