I have made a reply with each Captain’s name. This is not a popularity contest. This is a Leadership contest. Who is/was the best captain?
Upvote your choice(s). Comment on your choices if you like, explaining your rational… or don’t comment if you don’t like.
PLEASE, do not comment negatively on any captain. Let the love flow for these captains. Positivity please.
Lastly, if you know a captain I missed and you want to add them, feel free! There are a lot I didn’t include because I just tried to hit the major franchises, but there are certainly some worth mentioning.
P.S. I’m not a student of Trek or even that smart, just a fan trying something, so if I screw it up please forgive.
Picard is the best, most well-rounded captain. He can do diplomacy. He can do science. He can run a starship. He can fight…
All the others aren’t shown to be as flexible or as widely capable. I still find Janeway to be my favorite though. I like my heroes to have flaws like normal people. Picard is damn near flawless, like Superman.
