Kirk, easily.

I don't think I was ever a real fan of Picard. (I'm more a fan of Janeway. In fact, way more. I'd rather be lost in space with her Voyager crew than be stuck with Picard's Enterprise crew.)

pft.

neither kirk nor janeway would or could take on Q AND the Borg.

sorry. Picard. hands down.
(tho i'm a Sisko fan too)

The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Sorry, there were only two captains of the Enterprise, Pike and Kirk. I don't know enough about Pike to make a determination about him.

Kirk by default.

I'm having a hard time remembering when exactly Picard defeated the Borg.

Were they ever defeated?

Janeway may have done more to help defeat the Borg as a race than Picard ever could have.

Last I remember, Picard turned tail and ran.

I'll take Picard over Kirk in this poll, but the absolute best was Sisko.

Kirk was a maverick, that appeals to me. Picard was an empty uniform. Pike was accidentally turned into a quadriplegic who can only move forward, backward slightly, and beep once for yes and twice for no, and he ultimately had to be saved from this torment by Spock. I don't understand how Pike was left out of this poll, he did manage to escape from the aliens on Talos IV the first time, after all.

Kirk was THE Captain of the Enterprise.

Picard was OK but he couldnt tie his shoes without asking someone at Starfleet.

Kirk had to make decisions on the spot that had ramifications throughout the Federation and he usually didnt ask for permission first.

Sorry, I'll take Kirk's damn-the-torpedoes, bone anything that moves approach over the lame, permission-asking pretender on TNG. Hell, Janeway had a bigger sack than Picard.

When the poop hits the fan, I know which captain I'd want calling the shots. And I don't care that he wears a girdle and a rug. Whatever it takes.

As long as it's not the guy who looks like they actually wanted Harrison Ford but couldn't afford to pay him .. what's his name? Archer?
