      I don't know his rank, so he may not qualify in this poll, but:

      Scorpius (Farscape)

        No, what your feeling is the gravity of this important thread.

          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.
          Technically, there is a Captain Adama, but that's not who the poll maker meant. Although he's now a Commander, too.

                  I don't think Adama's rank is that important, when I think of "scifi captains" I think of the guys who command a ship. Adama is the captain of the Galactica, even though his rank is Commander.

                  Spoiler:
                  Of course he's an Admiral now and the other Adama's a Commander, but I'd rather not discuss that openly because not everyone uses BitTorrent or gets SciFi

                        Only Picard has the requisite gravitas to truly be Captain.

                          Right. He'd be a Post Captain who holds the rank of commander.

                            Right. He'd be a Post Captain who holds the rank of commander.
                            I was just being technical (while technically forgetting about his son).

                            By "Post Captain" do you mean the CO of a ship is called captain, even if that's not his rank? He's never called captain in the show. And technically in the Colonial Fleet this would be a demotion for him. I consider their rank of "commander" as equivalent to "commodore."

                              On the contrary, he who bags the most alien chicks wins.

                                Picard simply downloaded that onerous task to his #1, Riker.
