Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
I said Picard. I'm not a big star trek fan but when I used to go to clubs all the time they played this techno song called Captain Picard over and over again so he kind of grew on me.

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
If you've never heard Shatner (or for that matter, Nimoy) belting out a tune you should check them out! Picard is the most popular pf the captains, for whatever reason; I think the techno song is as good an explanation as possible. He provided a good contrast to the brash Kirk, but a bit too bland a character as far as I'm concerned. Q was the perfect foil for Picard... being a Trekkie now.

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
It's been forever since I watched any episodes with Picard in them. Lol. If you're interested in the song it's called The Picard Song. It's rather ridiculous but it has a nice beat and it makes you want to dance.

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
Why couldn't we vote for Christopher Pike? Rachel Garrett? (Acting Captain) William T. Riker?

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
Pike was a head-on-a-stick and therefor is ineligible; Garrett? Really? One episode as a minor figure and she's a candidate for favorite captain? pshaw!; Riker... I'm thinking of captains who had an actual series behind them (which, arguably, would mean that Pike should be included)... anyway, I'd have included Voyager's EMH before I would Riker.
I'll youtube the Picard song.

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
I am not trying to start an argument; the following is just my opinion. I was trying to make a point, but obviously it fell short. So here goes:
Kirk was a buffoon.
Picard was a pompus stuffed-shirt.
Sisko was just a politically correct leading man.
Janeway was a prig.
Archer was... the less said about Archer the better.
But if I had to pick a favorite from the five, it would be Picard.
If I have offended anyone, I apologize in advance.

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
Well hey bro, no need to be so defensive! I won't taze you or phase you! Enterprise is the series I have watched the least... can't comment on Archer really except to say that I liked the actor when he was in Quantum Leap. The aspect of this show I recall most is the opening theme and how it deviated from the classical arrangements of the prior shows... didn't like it much.

Re: Favorite Star Trek Captain
Actually, the opening sequence was the one thing I liked about "Enterprise." Except for that awful theme song.
