UPDATE: from Misty Fowler

I’m envisioning a steel-caged death match between Kirk, Chuck Norris and Mr. T as the pay-per-view event of a lifetime.
May favorite:
29. Kirk appreciates Shakespeare, but he doesn’t let it show.
Kirk would dominate. He’s grab Chuck Norris by the ankles and smash him against Mr. T. Easy, over in moments.
Ok, so there’s what I think is a bigger issue here. The crew. Kirk’s crew was pretty solid, Uhura was pretty hot back then (before the feather dance in the desert, that was scary), but so was Troi in her own way (and lets not forget Natasha Yar). There are a lot of comparisons, but one irrefutable fact remains: William Riker, standing around making lame recommendations with one foot up on a chair or ledge, counteracts all that Data and Geordi, and even Wil Wheaton, can contribute to the ship. What an a-hole.
Ah IX Star Trek 5. That relates to:
4. Kirk traveled through The Great Barrier, met God, and wasn’t even impressed.
*side note – I’ve been running this blog for a year and a half, you’re one of my best friends, and THIS is what finally makes you post. Are you even registered to vote? 🙂
Look, man, some issues are bigger than others. Honestly, I don’t think I have heard even ONE of the presidential hopefuls confront this issue yet.
51. Kirk’s first officer didn’t play some wimpy instrument like the trombone.
Wait, the Vulcan Lyre isn’t wimpy? Spock jammed with the hippies!
The Vulcan Lyre was built so that, if you hit a certain note, it exploded. WAY more bad ass than the Trombone. Besides, everyone knows that Troi was a beard (before he also grew a beard. Riker needed a double beard) to keep Picard from finding out that Riker was hot to get in his jumpsuit.
Looks like “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is alive and well in the Federation.
IX you’re right, it’s a much better question than “Boxers or Briefs”
You know Kirk wore a hairpiece, right? Although some say it might have been a tribble.
rmwarnick – That’s funny as hell.
Finally! A blogger who understands the important things in life!
Ix – He may not have addressed this issue, but, Obama is the logical choice. 🙂

You might dismiss my view, ‘cuz I’m a girl . . . anyway, I always like Picard better. Kirk was arogant and cocky — a stereotypical alpha male type. Shoot first, ask question later — kind of like the neocons.
Picard was a much more evolved man. He spent a lot of time making decisions and using diplomacy. He was more sensitive (yes, evolved women prefer sensitive men)and would be a better father and husband. You could also have intellectual discussion with Picard.
Picard had the posh accent, but Kirk had STYLE!
what style? Sweaty forhead and mussed up hair?
Oh. My. God.
I will never get those three minutes of my life back. You owe me, Bell!
I’m dismissing your “point” not because you’re a girl, but because you’re so totally wrong (and therefore, your point is stupid) :). Kirk had heart, man. AND he knew what the Declaration of Independence meant, therefore, not a neo-con.
Please remember that I am terribly fond of you Sarah.
Tout simplement vous êtes confondu!
I agree with Jenni.
Plus, who would you still want to be with? William Shatner? Ick. I don’t think so.
How typical of the male establishment that Capt. Janeway didn’t even come up in this debate. Hopefully Starfleet at least has an equal pay for equal work policy and she was making more than $0.76 $0.765 on the boys’ dollar. 😉
P.S. sorry about the typo. Slightly html challenged this morning.
Hey WP, Je ne suis pas confus. Kirk est supérieur évidemment lointain.
Picard est beaucoup plus cérébral, aucun concours.
WP – Kirk est juste comme l’intellectuel, mais il ne laisse pas ce stand de la manière réellement d’être un homme. Picard est futé, sûr, mais, il n’y a aucune manière que le Borg aurait attrapé Kirk. Picard est un poussoir de papier avec une commande, Kirk était a par le capitaine de God Space
PS – my French is VERY rusty. Sorry about the grammar.
Janeway wasn’t included because she’s a completely unremarkable captain. I just finished watching the entire first season of Voyager, and while I like it, I can’t think of one really bad-ass thing she’s done yet. I don’t think she has karate chopped one person, I don’t think she has seduced any aliens, and I am pretty sure she is the only captain throughout the Star Trek franchise that I have not seen without a shirt.
Also, she’s not an Enterprise captain. But what about Captain Archer?
non, non, ne pas rectifier mon capitaine Bell!
Janeway wasn’t included because, ten minutes after she took command, she got fucking lost as hell. Geesh.
Archer was a … well … he just tried too hard. Kirk was a natural leader and tough guy and never gave a shit who liked him or not. Picard was a fantastic administrator. He also didn’t care who liked him or not. Archer, for all his being a hard-ass, still wanted everyone to love him EXCEPT for the smokin’ vulcan, if you know what I mean. Archer was suspect.
And the vulcan? Probably the hottest character ever on any science fiction show ever… ever. She’s a total babe.
Someone brought up the aging thing — Picard HAS aged much more nicely than Kirk.
DENNY CRANE!
That was stimulating . I admire your style that you put into your post . Please do continue with more similar to this.
