Kirk Vs Picard

Ranked #22,166 in Entertainment, #270,821 overall

HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Kirk Vs Picard

It's a debate as old as time itself... who was the better captain, James T. Kirk or Jean Luc Picard? Kirk was a dashing fellow who flew by the seat of his pants and often took off those pants to romance some space aliens. Picard was much more thoughtful, respected his crew more and intelligently led the USS Enterprise out of the most dangerous of situations. It's like nerd vs jock except, well, they are both nerds.

MAKE IT SO!

KhaaaannnnnnnnnnN!

Let the world know who captain's your ship.

Kirk Vs Picard

Kirk all the way, dude!

SecondHandJoe says:

Kirk. But happy that Picard came by to fill the void!

none says:

Picard was awesome, but Kirk was a bit of a rebel and had a best friend and first officer who was half - Vulcan. Kirk is my captain all the way!

Anonymous says:

Kirk 150%

Giordano says:

In Star Trek: Generations Picard needed help from Captain James T. Kirk. Kirk never needed Picard.....end of story.

ANTHONY says:

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK IS THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE CAPTAIN OF THE ENTERPRISE

Dee says:

Kirk. It's not even a choice.

Frost says:

Picard was an excellent captain, but James T. Kirk is hands down the greatest captain to never live. He also relied on intelligence, wit, ingenuity, and some of the best specialists to get himself out of situations. By contrast, far too often, Picard's Enterprise relied on technobabble and political correctness to see them through.

Kirk, without a question.

Y chromo says:

Kirk has more Y chromosomes then the entire earth male generation of the 60s. There is no manlier starfleet captain.

Haley says:

Kirk all the Fucking way. I'll follow him to the end of the universe and beyond.

Tatiana says:

KIrk

Sweetheart94 says:

I prefer Kirk, because he was more sucessful with technology, that can't be compared to Picard

Sorry for mistakes, I'm german...=)

Scott says:

Kirk resented the death of every Red Shirt that served under him; Picard rammed a Romulan ship without even evacuating the forward decks. Umm...I think I'd rather serve under Kirk.

Lala says:

Kirk kicks butt

George Payne says:

Mr Spock this is Kirk!

Bunnyman says:

KIRK!

John says:

I'd rather follow the ultimate space cowboy. Jim Kirk!

william says:

KIRK!

Cowboyrenn01 says:

If you were a Klingon or Romulan which word would make you run for you life?
Kirk or Picard...enough said

Rain says:

first of all both captains are awesome in their own way. but kirk has this big ego for being stupid and reckless which isn't actually true. for example he plays chess (and beat a vulcan!), one of his old starfleet friends said he was a "stack of book on legs, aka he was a total nerd, plus he beat the maur karyoshi (i know i spelled that wrong) simulation! also it's stated that the enterprise comes before women (even those w/ green skin). it was stated multiple times! (although he does later sacrifice the enterprise for spock-but spocks awesome!)i'm not saying he's not totally bad @ss-he is! but he also has a head on his shoulders and he doesn't let relationships get in the way of being captain.

Calagara says:

Kirk has it all. Picard would have to absorb Ryker and Worf just to get in the ring . . .

Picard is my choice, good fellow.

Lyon says:

Only thing that Kirk has going for him is Spock. PICAAAAAAARD

Misc. User says:

200% Picard

ZuddenDeath says:

picard's the one and only! 'nuff said!

Theo says:

Kirk depicts futuristic space travel as some sort of cartoon or game; Picard depicts futuristic space travel as a noble and attainable future for humanity.

Kirk is what nerds wish they could be; Picard is what being a nerd is all about.

Intelligence beats candor.

SHM says:

Jean-Luc all the way. Picard rocks!
I used to love TOS and was really sad after the last episode aired and this new show TNG came on, but after the first two episodes Picard had totally won me over.
That's a man I'd follow into battle, 'cause the chances of making it out alive with him on your side are better than with Kirk.
But to be fair to TOS, it is a lot of fun to watch an away mission with random red-shirt guy who gets a name before he dies :)

Amy says:

Picard! Brains over brawn any day!

Yuiopo says:

Picard. Why? Picard took on the Borg andassimallted all in the same week and still lives

Johnny says:

I'd rather not be sacrificed on the away mission...

Alamyst says:

Picard had Data and by proxy that makes him all the better.

Jonas says:

PICARD! I wouldn't want to serve under a man who has sex with any alien he finds 'fascinating'! Picard also is a much calmer and is better versed in Starfleet code and regulations. Picard has a higher class of ship as well, how do I know this? One Word: HOLOSUITS!

I! who else says:

Jean Luc, all the way

1 Picard
2 Data
3 Spock
4 Doc McCoy
5 Kirk

always been my top 5 list for star trek characters...

Johhny5 says:

Picard all the way. Kirk definately is awesome and is better than picard in some respects. But Kirks strengths, Picard has them to an exceptional level but he has many more strengths as a diplomat and role model that kirk doesnt have

siriuslynow says:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S Enterprise

firebug says:

picard duh!

Not Spock says:

Stewart's done Shakespeare. Shatner's done "Boston Legal"
Plus, Picard's got a lionfish.

michael says:

The tribbles never gave picard no trouble

DeeF says:

Patrick Stewart went on to become Professor X but William Shatner....

Slade says:

picard wore a red shirt....didn't die

Mel says:

Jean-Luc Picard all the way. He respects authority, yet does not blindly follow orders and is a very intellectual man. Certainly a positive role model for young men.

fefe says:

Picard. Tea. Earl Gray. Hot.
