      Mal Reynolds and Han Solo certainly should be included in the poll.

      But Picard is my choice, hands down.

      Kirk? Bad actor, bad part. Amusing, yes.

        Adama's much more like a real commander.

          Picard, it's no race.

            Adama is my third. Then probably Kirk.

              Adama lost his command.

                  Picard?!?!?! You have got to be joking.



                  ACK!

                      The Lorne Green Adama was better.

                      One of my favorites was Capt. Adam Quark (Richard Benjamin).

                        I voted Kirk, though Picard was my #2 choice.
                        He's got the Midas touch.
                        But he touched it too much!

                          James Tiberius Kirk of course. All others are sissies compared to him.

                              I'm torn between Reynolds, Sheridan and Old Craterface. I think I'll go with Adama. Sheridan ended up more a politician than a warrior, and he did command a station. And I haven't watched all of Firefly yet.

                                I voted for Kirk. Picard talked his way out of situations too much. Maybe good in real life, but for TV -

                                Adama's rank is commander, not captain, at the start of BSG, so doesn't that mean he doesn't qualify for this poll, as in the BSGverse, he outranks captains?

                                (How's that for geekiness? )

                                Then later he gets promoted to admiral.
