So, who´s the best Star Trek captain?

[Provost Harrison]

I would say Picard. I was never convinced by Shatner's acting

[Provost Harrison]

LOL, is Jonathan Archer the name of the new Enterprise captain? I have a friend with the same name and same spelling of it

[Zoid]

Speices 8472 is indeed in ST. In 2373 the Borg somehow discovered fluidic space and learned that Species 8472 possesses organic spacecraft and a biogenically engineered weapons technology (did anyone say 'Vorlons' ? ) that was superior to anything known to the Borg. Seeking to assimilate this civilization and its technology, the Borg launched an attack on the fluidic space realm, only to get their asses severly kicked...

Species 8472 is AFAIK the only race that the Borg couldn´t assimilate.

Has anyone ever noticed a correlation between presidents and captains of the enterprise?

Archers speechgiving and attitude reminds me of Bush. Enterprise also seems like a more conservative turn in the trek shows.
Kirk reminds me of JFK for some reason.
and Sisko & Janeway (first black and woman captns) both came around during Clinton's tenure.
Picard... hmm maybe he's the exception

Anyway Picard is the bomb. He has everything a good captain should have. He knows everything, he has character, hes got bollocks.

The bigger question is: which of these hot trek babes is sexier?

[Kassiopeia]

Make It So.
The TNG Theme's techno version is just hilarious.

Kirk could never kick the Borg's collective ass, he'd be busy drooling over the Queen or 7 of 9 or Janeway ( ). Picard all the way. Sheridan beat up the Shadows real good too, but needed quite a lot of help for that one.

Edit: was Sheridan ever a Captain, if we exclude the Earth - Minbari war and the time before B5? I think he was a Commodore.

[Jon Miller]

I had to vote Kirk

he would kick all the other Captain's asses

the others are all pansies

2 questions:

1) what else is known about species 8472?

2) what else is known about Borg creation? I remember reading about them being created several million years ago by this one creature, but it's all blury in my memory now

John Crichton of Farscape is even better than Sheridan, btw.

He's hardly a captain.

I miss my cable.

Do you have a fast internet connection? I've downloaded every single farscape episode... even have the first three seasons recorded on CDs.



As for the Star Trek Captain: Picard, with Sisko close behind.

Janeway - Quite big tits

They're aren't that big. Above average at most.

The cleverest (not the best mind you) captain in Sci Fi would have to be Captain Hollister of the Jupiter Mining Corporation Starship Red Dwarf.

I don't really like Star Trek, the original one is TOO old for me to get interested, and the newer ones (not Enterprise, haven't seen it) are too family orientated, its Days of Our Lives in Space, really.

But they have been showing The Next Generation re-runs and I always sit thru it till David Letterman is on, and I found that Picard is a very good actor, he made it seem like I was watching a movie everytime. Picard is for me, the best, and this is quite ironic because my Father loves Star Trek, and we were actually discussing about this very topic just yesterday and he also agree's that Picard is best. (Btw he hates it when ppl call the original star trek "Old Star Trek" LOL).

Picard

Btw, what's Enterprise like?

[Apocalypse]

Enterprise is ucky.

Seems to have really good potential, but there is too much bad writing and direction.

Holy phasers Pythagoras, I think you're right.

Kirk and JFK both have a youthful energy about them, looking for new things to explore.

Archer and Little Bush both have that down home, Texas barbeque, cattle herding attitude.

Sisko and Janeway did come around when Clinton was telling us to "don't stop thinking about trommorow".

And Picard reminds me of Big Bush. They both have a simple resoluteness about them. If you think about some of Bush's statements on Iraq during the Gulf War, I could easily see Picard saying the same lines.

[OldWarrior_42]

Spock was the best. Period.

[OldWarrior_42]

Oh yeah, by the way.... I voted for Captain banana.
