Well done, Jen! Kirk is clearly the greatest captain in Star Trek history, and here are a few more reasons…
1. Kirk didn’t need a holdeck, bar, or ship’s counselor. His sheer personal awesomeness was all that he needed to keep his crew in line.
2. Picard was assimliated by the Borg. Kirk would have seduced the Borg Queen, then took advanatge of her sleeping afterwards to turn the entire Borg collective into a bunch of spare parts for Scotty.
3. Kirk never lost any of his bridge officers to a pool of goo. Picard loses Tasha Yar, then replaces her with the only Klingon in history with a losing record in hand-to-hand combat.
4. Q wanted to study Picard. Q would have wanted to party with Kirk.
5. Picard played poker. Kirk invented Fizzbin.

I could go on, but you get my drift…

In reply to Jared. Actually he fought a god (ep "Who mourns for Adonais") and destroyed it! Picard just got Q to let him go with his incesisive blabering. If Picard wouldn't have had sex (like 3 times in the whole series) there be no reason why not call him gay. And gay in the most stereotypical sense. He is bald man (any woman who says bald is sexy has father issues) with an ego the size of Jupiter based on his knowledge not actions who is incapable of doing almost anything. Also he gets his advices for a bartender.

In reply to Sara. Hah! No tarring & feathering necessary. A few people on Twitter said the same thing. However, this is a battle between Enterprise captains and, unless my Star Trek sources fail me (Wikipedia, lol) she was the captain of the Voyager. I've never seen a Janeway episode but I have been told that I should. Apparently she's a bad ass. My kind of lady.

In reply to Tiffany A White.

Haha, thanks Tiff. I’m glad you liked the comparison. I plan to do more of these kinds of funny articles, but only as they come to me. I can’t force ’em. But there will be more, I promise. If anyone has ideas on what they’d like me to write about, I take requests.

Of course, I reserve the right to veto a topic if it’s disgusting or something. LOL

In reply to Jesse. I've actually never watched any of the other Treks beyond the original and Next Generation. I've barely watched Next Gen, for that matter. I watched a few episodes about the Borg and I've seen the movies. And no offense to Next Gen folks, but as far as the movies go, original Star Trek > Next Gen. I don't even have to do a pseudo-scientific breakdown for you. That infamous hot tub scene with naked Beardy and Bubbles is forever burned in my brain. A pox on whoever came up with that scene.

In reply to Josh. I fail. I have no idea where the reference comes from and I was hoping someone would respond correctly so I wouldn't have to fess up. I even googled the quote, but my website comes up as the 4th listing. Failboat. Zero cool points for me. LOL
