But we've already BEEN on topic ONCE, Robin! Isn't that enough? Besides, it's obvious. The best captain is ... :: glances at poll, looks around, then scampers up and peels away Picard, Janeway and Sisko's names :: Kirk! See?

Actually, he's tied with Harriman.

Telling Rocket to do something to improve himself is a lost cause, my dear Sheriden. The boy is set in his ways.

The last few Vulcans who tried suffered from rapid-expansion cranial syndrome (their heads exploded). Although I'll be happy to tell you everything you want to know ... in SONG! Lucy ... in the SKY .. With DIAMONDS ... Yes, Lu-cy ... in the ... SKY ... WITH ... diamonds ...

I cannot answer that question on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me.

Oh, we have more than that in common. For instance, I too have a tremendous singing voice.

NEVER, that's when! NEVER! Those filthy little emoticons will never soil my precious forums again! Archer is flawed, I'll give him that. But so was Kirk! In fact, NO ONE was more flawed than Kirk! He was lecherous, belligerent, and mildly insane!

I voted for McCoy simply because of the delivery of Deforest Kelley. Man, he was great. What, no Spock? C'mon!

Too bad the ship doesn't have the coolest captain. OHHHH, SNAP! Wow, someone voted for Archer! How novel!

Unless 20 people join with a single dissenting opinion as to which movie was worst, I think V is a pretty clear winner here.

Yep, yep. And they said it was a mistake adding tesseract technology to the turboshaft!

Come aboard the Kodiak someday, boys! No finer ship in the fleet!

That's two smiles and four smirking glottals.

But as precious as a lame emoticon.

I have my moments.

I actually have nothing whatsoever against Janeway. She's a fine captain for her time and place. In fact, it's impossible to pinpoint a "best" captain, since a different captain is best suited for every different situation.

It was, Rocket. Almost everything I say is a joke.

I especially hated the part where it was revealed that Elvis was controlling the Romulan Empire. I mean, talk about predictable.

I must admit that in the last bit of the third season the show grew on me in a way I never would have suspected back during the first season. Of course, the same thing happened with Voyager, so I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised. Give a show enough chances, and it'll grow on you like ... penicillin on a ham sandwich. Or something.

She looks more like a home economics teacher than Kirk does, I'll give you that.

There's ... there's nothing there, Rocket. Not even a door. And no one's chasing me. You're just hallucinating again. So, I think we're all agreed. Star Trek XVIII should never have been made.

Picard made a pretty unconvincing Frenchman. And how can you say that hair defines anything important about a captain? Two of the highest rated in this poll were bald as eggs. But if you ARE going to judge by hair, then Kirk's slick 'do easily takes the cake over Janeway's.

Hey, man, don't downplay your talents. I'm trying to sell you here. You're making yourself look bad with this negativism! Let's see a big SMILE!

Oh, perhaps I haven't said it clearly enough, yet: *ahem* I'd rather have my eyes torn out with shrimp forks while someone plays the "Enterprise" theme song over and over than watch an episode of "Voyager". Except for the one with the Rock. That was a bit of all right.

No matter how hard we keep our eyes shut, we keep seeing that "voyager" topic. If Kirk hadn't been so very awesome, I definitely would have voted for Sisko. Then Picard. I can't believe so many people went right in for that guy. He's so ... British.
