I have to admit, Patrick Stewart was pretty impressive doing his one man show of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" on stage several years ago.

... Stewart is undoubtedly the best actor of all those under consideration.

... Re-thinking this poll... who was (is) the best Trek Captain... Which captain would you (anybody here) choose to serve under on a ship?

... Sisko won my vote previously... in the all-around best captain role, but I'd choose to be on board Kirk's Enterprise. ... so long as I wasn't stuck wearing a red shirt! :lol:

Lest you didn't claim the best was that holodeck fantasy captain Jon Archer. And Kirk is first, always. I don't care if Baldy has 35% of the vote.

Now I like this question. I, too, might very well choose Kirk's Enterprise. There's always parties happening, when Spock pulls out the lyre, Uhura starts singing, and Bones pops the top to a bottle of Romulan Ale.

However, I think I'd also like being on Janeway's Voyager (minus the tens of thousands of lightyears away from home bit). Janeway gives lots of hugs and cries a little when she tells her crewmembers how much she loves them.

... Crying and hugs.... gag. I'd rather hang with Kirk and Scotty, drinking Scotch and watching those green dancing girls! ... bragging about how many Kilingons we beat up and all that. Haha!

I would like to state that I guessed that the whole Enterprise thing was a fantasy while watching season one (Though I incorrectly assumed that it would've been a book written by Jake Sisko).

I don't know. Pike was easily influenced by a woman which eventually got him captured. Then he ends up disfigured and immobile in the end. How many other blunders did he have in between. I'll stick with Kirk.

So was the rest of his crew, even Spock was boondoggled by the Talosian's illusion.

Pike's wheelchair is operated by brainwaves, and his only means of communicating is through a light on the chair: one flash meaning "yes" and two flashes indicating "no".


That's a hero! Kirk wouldn't have ever done that, he would've sent a red shirt to do it.

But if Kirk was in charge would it have happened in the first place. :wink:

*Garth of Izar eats Picard during a relapse into insanity. Kirk straggles Worf and bangs every female on the E-D (don't count as unwanted if they wanted it, right? :wink: ). Khan disembowels Riker and Geordy, following his de-activation and disassembage of the toaster(Data) with Scotty's help. Spock writes a computer virus which activates the self-destruct in all UPF vessels, and before the band of TOS characters returns to their ship, Uhura transmits the virus over the commlink from the E-D to all TNG-era ships, destorying them all before any warning could get out. The Enterprise under Kirk is now en-route to Earth to undo the damage of Baldy. McCoy breaks out the Saurian Brandy and Romulan Ale. Life is good.

sorry I have to say the Geordi LaForge makes the best captain (referring to the episode of Voyager where they try a quantum leap and only Kim and Chakotay (sp) survive and then when they try and fix it in the stolen delta flyer Geordi is the captain sent to get them). Also Christopher Pike (from the TOS pilot that was originally filmed and the "The Cage" and "The Menagerie" episodes.

Star Trek: Enterprise IS NOT a fantasy. The FINAL EPISODE and the FINAL EPISODE only take place in a holodeck.


It is because the writters pulled the "St. Eslewhere" stunt. If the final episode wasn't enough, then how about Borg Drones in the 22nd century? Sulaban 'Cloaking devises'? Or how about "uh, Klingons now not have bumpy foreheads cause they injected themselves with some of Khan's blood"? The Xindi and their wanktastic Death Star rip-off? How about the fact that Archer technically already knew what was out there before leaving and inter-stellar polictics already being present? I don't got either the time nor the desire to dig up more flaws in why Enterprise should be Star Trek Canon. Other than the Paramount seal of approval, it violates Trek in ways so heinous to fully comprehend.

Bah, Humbug! Kirk wins, Pike only comes in second 'cause Roddenberry found Shatner to be a better actor. Ever watch the old Twilight Zone? And the First captain of the Enterprise was a guy called Robert April. LaVar Burton plays the role of UN Delegate in that episode, so ick! (Tangent mode) The UN is right, you can't get more 'un'......(Tangent mode off)

Baldy is tolerable only in movie form, and even then he pales in comparison.

Janeway is better suited to being someones 'Riker'.

Sisko could have died in a turbolift accident in the first episode and I don't think I'd have cared 'cept "Woah, this is hardcore. Dude, they like off'ed the guy in the first episode man".

Jonathan Archer? Sorry, Jonathan who? Oh, you mean Riker's holodeck fantasy. Oh, ok.

No, the only reason Pike wasn't captain for longer was because his wife convinced him that SciFi was "beneath him."

If he had ignored her, he could've been a great captain.

Alas it was meant to happen that Shatner would become Kirk. If Jeffrey Hunter decided to take the part the movie remakes would have been hard to cast since Jeffrey Hunter died at the age of 42 in 1969 from a stroke.
