Hoo'd win Part The Captain's Log

[thebitterguy]

Ladies! Gentlemen! Klingons!

The time has come to settle the greatest debate in history. Few disagreements have been as contentious as the one we will debate today. From "Does God Exist?" to "who are you and what are you doing in my country?" to "Do you think these pants make my butt look fat?" to , none of these conundrums are as discord inducing as this one:

Which Starfleet captain is supreme? Kirk, or Picard?

Surely, both of them have their advantages. Kirk's raw animal passion is a force to be reckoned with across the galaxy, whether in combat or sweet lovemaking. Picard's arrogance was tempered by a near death experience in his youth. He acted as a scalpel of reason and compromise, while Kirk will was a dull bludgeon of forcefulness and ripped shirts.

So! Make your choice! Let your voice be heard! Talk as if nobody's listening!

[Poll #922007]

p.s. Can you believe I've never asked this one before?

p.p.s. as always, tell your friends.

p.p.p.s. As of this moment, I would like to say: what a horse race! Picard & Kirk are tied at 10 each, and Sisko, the dark horse of the race, is breathing down their necks with nine!

p.p.p.p.s As of 8:20, Feb 7, it is dead even at 23 votes each.

Sisko was the only one with guts enough to admit he was bald, fully bald.

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Sisko CHOSE to be bald, though, to better reflect his badassitude.

And the stage lights.

[uncut-diamond.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Sisko is badass and my phrasing was poor.

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Pffffft.

Janeway kicked more ass than Kirk and was a better diplomat than Picard.

She's not bald, though, so my money's on Sisko.

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

Janeway only looked like was kicking ass because the Borg on VOY were all lame. That's why they want to invade the Federation-the Delta Quadrant is full of pussies.

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Three words:

Year.
Of.
Hell.

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

Oh, you mean the two-parter that should've been expanded to the whole series?

[thebitterguy]

Is this one of those reasons for why I'm glad I didn't watch Voyageur?

[mightygodking.livejournal.com]

Sisko is so badass that you don't even need to give him any praise in your writeup and he's still going to win. Why? Because he is Sisko.

[madmanofprague.livejournal.com]

Not only that, he had God-Like Aliens give him the definite article. All Kirk or Picard had going for them as religious icons were insane space probes and bronze-age knock-off Vulcans.

But he... he is The Sisko.

[dewline.livejournal.com]

Amen, friend!

[life-on-queen.livejournal.com]

Heh! Sisko's beating out Kirk without even trying. You know why? Because he's Sisko and he can sic freaky god-like aliens on your ass.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Did Picard outwit Khan? Did Sisko beat the Kobiyashi Maru scenario? Have either of them ever fucked up a Gorn with explosives? I DON'T THINK SO!

[creativedv8tion.livejournal.com]

Oh, my brothers, TESTIFY!

[michael-b-lee.livejournal.com]

Picard got his ass kicked by Malcolm McDowell. And not even cool, droogy Malcolm McDowell, either.

Much respect to Sisko, but Kirk is still the man.

[thebitterguy]

He is the greatest being to ever fill the chair.

[gurudata.livejournal.com]

Hiho,

Nonononono... PIKE! PIKE! PIKE! PIKE! PIKE! PIKE!

Cu,
Andrew

[thebitterguy]

Beep.

[bcwalker.livejournal.com]

Hawk wins. Hawk always wins.

[thebitterguy]

And Sisko never had to go pull Spenser's fat out of the fire.

[crashing-angel.livejournal.com]

I'm dying to see the results of this poll.
I had to go with Picard. Although one must admire Kirk for the trailblazer he was, the real credit must go to Picard, the cool-headed, aloof man at the helm of the Enterprise.
Oh oh! In the next poll, pit the doctors of Star Trek!
P.S. I see in the near future that the Earth shall be split in two by an ever-raging war for the title of "Greatest Captain Ever?" Many will be slain, no woman man or child will go unscathed!

[thebitterguy]

Well, the doctors would be a one sided competition. Maybe the HoloDoc could put up a fight, but Crusher? Or Bashir? McCoy would walk over them.

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

Bashir is a doctor?

I thought he was an interstellar man of mystery!

[maliszew.livejournal.com]

Admiral Adama would kick both their asses.

[thebitterguy]

I don't even know who you are anymore.

[maliszew.livejournal.com]

OK, fine: Kirk, although Sisko comes a mighty close second.

Better?

[thebitterguy]

Much better. Whew.

[sixteenbynine.livejournal.com]

Spock: The Kobayashi Maru scenario frequently wreaks havoc on students and equipment. As I recall you took the test three times yourself. Your final solution was, shall we say, unique?

Kirk: It had the virtue of never having been tried.

...that's my man.

[thebitterguy]

He was thinking out side the box before there WAS a box.

[jeffreyab.livejournal.com]

The Sisko is half God-like Alien and he writes SF in the 1950's how can you beat that?

[thebitterguy]

He is performing quite well.

[viktor-haag.livejournal.com]

Wow - so Archer gets no love at all?

[thebitterguy]

No. No, he does not.

[andpuff.livejournal.com]

In fairness to Kirk, I felt I should mention that had this just been between him and Picard I'm with Kirk all the way.

However, adding Sisko means I'm free to ignore them both and follow my heart!

[thebitterguy]

I had no idea that Sisko would be quite such a popular write in, as it were.
