Tough one between Picard and Sisko. Picard because... he's Picard. Sisko because "You hit me! Picard never hit me!"

Easiest choice ever.

Sorry Jim.

Kirk! The first and the best. Picard could be too boring. And Kirk was consistent between the tv shows and the films.

Picard's problem was trying to be an action hero in the films while sitting around thoughtfully like a managment consultant on tv.

I've been watching some of TOS and I'm surprised Kirk is actually a bit more professional and grown up than I remember; the show's better in general than I remember in fact, but still, obviously Picard.

But actually Data was the best, in that one episode.

Janeway's the only secondary captain that comes close to representing what I want to call 'star trek values'. Sisko and Archer are monstrous, awful creatures.

trolololo

Actually, now that I think about it, Sisko did kinda suck with all of that religious mumbojumbo. Picard!

Mutha fuckin Spock!

Everyone knows the best captain is Peter (Peter Peter Peter) Quincy (Quincy Quincy Quincy Quincy) Taggert (Taggert Taggert Taggert)....Jason Nesmith!

Tom Baker, without a doubt.

What, Chris Pine as Kirk from the newest movie is not an option?

Just sayin'.

Picard, because just the air of captainess hung about him like a winter mist.

Oh, and Fuck Chuck.

Ok, to address the Chris Pine issue. Lets consider that that first of all they are both portraying the same character. Second, that all of the Star Trek time continuity was utterly decimated, leaving it more then likely that people who had a family history in starfleet (i.e. Tom Paris, Kathryn Janeway, Will Riker, Geordi Laforge, etc.) are now at least bastard children or have had their DNA completely obliterated by Nero. (Not to include all the other continuity problems that the crap spin off Enterprise introduced.) Third, he's only done one movie, all the others, including Luke have done multiple movies or a series. Until the sequel with Chris Pine comes out I don't really see him as having a command until it's been more then 24 hours. Fourth, He was appointed by the previous captain, and considering his incredibly brief Starfleet training I'd have a hard time believing any Admiral in thier right mind would continue to let him remain in command of what is now Starfeets only ship. Fifth, I still haven't forgiven J.J. Abrams for the ending of Lost or the hour of my life that I'll never get back after Cloverfield.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Kirk. I bet this falls along age lines pretty clearly. If you grew up with TOS - it's Kirk all the way.

kirk then janeway.
they were just bad-azz.

picard was such a pussy and sisko was the prophet or messiah or some kinda crap that i didnt care about and archer just stepped in it...constantly.

one of my fave jokes concerning kirk and picard.
kirk:you have till the count of three to stop your attacks.
one.
two.
FIRE!

picard:you have till the count of three to stop your attacks.
one.
two.
two and a half.
two and three quarters.
i really mean it.
i am going to open fire.

God damn trekkies.

Not even a question...

Not in my case.

I'm with @spoco2 with the captain mist.

At least 24 Sifters are too young to have experienced TOS.

Bruce Greenwood as Christopher Pike (2009 Start Trek, Cinema version)

Best Captains always take the brain-worm and survive.

Voting for this poll ended with the majority of users voting Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart).

See, Picard is the best captain in the series, but a shit captain in the movies, because he acts like Kirk in the movies. Kirk isn't a good captain, he's a good Han Solo-captain, a loose cannon, a scoundrel, a scruffy nerf-herder. Picard is a fucking space ship captain and acts like it.
