[QUOTE="Orius, post: 1939410, member: 8863"] I'd have to say Sisko. Sisko gets my vote because he displayed a lot of well-rounded command talent — he's run a space station, served as a Federation diplomat mainly to the Bajorans, but also to several other races, done some deep space exploration, handled a number of first contact missions, and commanded fleets of starships in wartime. Few other captains have shown such a range of abilities and pulled them off well. In close second comes Kirk. Swinger, cowboy diplomat, overacted, and a hell of a lot of fun to watch on screen, he's simply incomparable. But Sisko wins because he's more dependable than Kirk; the Starfleet brass obviously weren't going nuts with him breaking the Prime Directive every other episode like Kirk was wont to do. :) Picard comes in third. He really reflects a lot of Roddenberry's humanist ideals, but he comes off as somewhat of a bore sometimes. And he wasn't all that likeable in some of the earlier TNG episodes. Picard's good as an explorer or a diplomat, but if you need conflict resolution, Sisko or Kirk are better. I want to like Archer, but bad writing and storylines on Enterprise have really weakened his appeal. I think if the show pulls off some better episodes, this might change, for example if he becomes the important figure in founding the Federation that it seems he's being set up as. Janeway was a terrible captain. Far too erratic and independant, she really doesn't come off as a good enough team player to be able to make it to captain in the first place. [/QUOTE]
