Your Favorite Starship Enterprise Captain

Doing the runoff - we know it's between these two...

It's sort of not a fair question. If you don't vote Kirk you're not a "real" Star Trek fan...or you 'don't understand' b/c he was the original.

Still, I voted Piccard...I just liked his style, he was a much better actor, and I saw the shows as an adult so had better opportunity to appreciate that part of the series.

This is a common question among Trekkies - and hotly debated.

While the original series will be special for launching the biggest phenom in the entertainment universe, The Next Generation is how Gene Roddenberry wanted to do Star Trek in a number of ways.

I'm almost going to show my hand, but knowing the beliefs of most members at PC, I expect a clear-cut favorite.

An amusing tangent - at www.startrek.com there is a troller named Autostop.

I'm not sure if I like Picard because I like him or if I like Patrick Stewart's rendition of King Claudius in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Maybe it is that Kirk is the Redneck and Picard the Bostonian.

I voted Kirk because he combines the sex drive of Bill Clinton with the diplomatic skill of George W. Bush.

Sorry, but I would vote for Ben. As he was the captain on my FAB FAVE STAr TREK show, Deep Space Nine.

But as far as ENTERPRISE goes, I vote for Archer.

Just because.

Evil Captain Kirk from the alternate universe.

Congratulations for figuring out my game!

Considering the aversion most PC members have to what Spock on Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country dubbed "cowboy diplomacy", I was counting on Picard in a landslide. Besides, Picard thinks situations out more and is (unconvincingly) French.

The results so far do not suprise me.
