It's not just the captains who make star trek, the other characters give the whole.

 

[Jake_B]

Regarding the captain, I liked both for different reasons. This also lead to an epic combo in the one movie, where both were together (don't know the english title - the one, where they were Kirk got pulled into the nexus).
As for other characters mentioned, i also liked Data and Spock both. Another character, who stood out positively, and made the show great, was the doctor in Voyager.

Kirk appear so random. It's just luck and coincidences.
When watching Picard, it's like .. let's analyze this and that. I like that much better.
If you just want action - watch Star Wars or something.

I completely agree. And that's even with the nostalgia favoring kirk

 

[stevetheegg]

Sisko, no question. He punched a god in the face.

Absolutely Sisko.

 

[barbarella2021]

Picard as he was written in The Next Generation.

 

[Sertinus]

Gotta go with Picard

 

[Decker434]

Picard. He seemed to to be the more thoughtful and levelheaded commander.

 

[ghostrider12]

Depends on what you need. Diplomacy and clever tactics? Picard.
Space chess tournament? Punching a Gorn in the face? Kirk.
Somebody to cook a delicious meal? To violate every Star Trek directive in the same day and be able to live with it? Sisko.
To straight up murder people? Janeway.
To look good shirtless while rubbing decon gel on himself? Archer.
To come up with a different impressive hairstyle every season? Burnham.

That is the man of culture RESPECT

 

[KantamaroSan]

Which Kirk?

 

[Tenebreaux]

Kirk. Sisko is second, then Picard. Janeway was dead last until Michael Burnham. You could argue Archer should be dead last because Enterprise along with Nemesis killed Star Trek.

I couldn't watch Enterprise because that godawful power ballad theme tune made me want to rip my ears off.

 

[JadedSkywalker]

Which Kirk?

Shatner but he is 93 years old. Pine at least has charm and charisma, but he tried to be Han Solo. The third Paul Wesley comes off as Jim Carrey playing Kirk.

 

[iframe]

Picard definitely. I grew up with him, he may not be superior to other Star Trek protag but he IS the face of Star Trek.

 

[magicace]

Picard, hands down. The episodes were just way better in that series too.

 

[Augustus]

Kirk has his charme, sure, but Picard is the Starfleet captain for me.
