Who was the better Captain? Kirk or Picard?
I'll say Kirk. He took on a Greek God. And won.

But I love Picard too - going to see him at MegaCon this year - most of the TNG crew will be there.
*lol, I don't really care. I answer to either. I've seen Trekkers take offense though. They'd probably want me to take a purity test.

I am definitely a Trekker according to the Great Wiki.

(21,925 posts)He was a swashbuckling hero from a pirate movie set in outer space and was never shy about bending the rules.

(22,057 posts)Captain Kirk's rashness was tempered by Spock's logic. Picard calmed Rikers' impetousity. Total polar opposites.
I think Picard was a better captain, far more mature-he played chess while Kirk played stud poker.
