PICARD!

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Picard.

Not just a better captain (Kirk was a high roller with the lives of his crew & federation property/diplomacy) but TNG in my view is a better series than the old Startrek.
The old Startrek was so two-dimensional and pulled a Deus Ex Machina alot of the time which made it predictable and boring.

Once you've seen that much-hyped episode "the trouble with Tribbles" you had to come to the conclusion that the old series, well, sucked.

Picard and his crew exemplify some of the worst in American imperialist ("Fascist") "frontiersmen" philosophy (despite the much vaunted "Prime Directive"). I like Patrick Stewart but dear old Bill -and his crew- must get the nod. The original crew were much more like "The Pranksters" than the "Next Generation" ever were. How can anyone not be moved by Scotty, Spock, McCoy, Uhura and the rest? Go goosestep elsewhere!

Picard. No contest.

Picard always seemed so much more noble, regal, stoic, and badass than Kirk. Kirk was badass in his own right...but Picard seemed more refined in his bad-assness.

Picard all the way. If I was stuck in space I would rather be hanging with him than Jim.

I am willing to bet that Jim had some alien Gonoreah.

Also Patrick Stewart was in Dune for crying out loud people.

Yeah but you know their parts aren't like ours. I am pretty sure most of the reproductive organs on aliens center around the belly button region.

Kirk rocks.

Although, its sometimes annoying to se how much Shatner loves himself.

Yes, but Ben Kingsley played Gandhi as well. Does that mean that if Ben Kingsley jumped off a bridge, that I should jump off a bridge also? Are we all supposed to go around blindly following actors who played Gandhi?

What about actors who played Jawaharlal Nehru, such as the versatile Roshan Seth? What blind allegiance do I owe them? Where will it all end? Oh the humanity, the humanity...

Oops, I think I got carried away. Never mind... :wink:

Good point. Didn't he get an Emmy nomination for that performance?

I grew up with Picard but I think Kirk handled everything much better than Picard. Picard lost Yiar(man do i feel like a nerd) Did Kirk lose any of his crew? And Kirk is just better anyway. He didn't have all the technology picard had and still kicked ass. I can remember all the characters in Kirk's crew while Picard I can recall a few but Kirk's crew is universally known. Sure Picard has Data, but Kirk has Spock who totally kicks ass to a new level of shit! I mean it's no contest.

Nobody says beam me up Worf. All Picard has is "Make it happen or make it so"

The bottom line fellaz is that Kirk was whoop the shit out of Picard any day. It's not even fair how much Kirk dominates over Picard.

Kirk was such a pretentious windbag when compared to the refined and elegant badassness of Picard.

If Kirk and Picard were to fight, Patrick Stewart would strangle Shatner with his own hair-piece.

Kirk would have found a way so far-out that it would've saved Yiar.

When I say crew I mean the original crew.

Aside from Kirk's arrogance, he was the baddest. For the tools he was given, he made damn good use of them.

Picard was too refined and he was good, which probably that character played the captain in The Next Generation.

I've seen more of the Next Generation than the old school but the old school was primitive and basic at a certain degree. Kirk never faced the borg or an entity that could tear their ship apart. Now that I think of it, Picard was dealt much more difficult scenarios...

But I'm all about the old school, baby.

They were but the Borg were stiffer than stiff. They didn't give a shit. You couldn't outrun a Borg Cube and if they wanted you dead then that was it.

Then there was Q.

Kahn was a motherfucking BADASS villian. Star Trek II was the best out of all 10 or 20 movies that have been made.

Picard for sure.Even I think a starship captain shoudl have a bit of maverick in him Kirk took it to a corny level and picards sense of refinement just make him come out on top.also th fact he did face at least IMHO more formidable adversaries makes him the better captain

Damn straight, 72% picard. He's just the man, no questions asked. There's always an uncertainty with Kirk, like what the hell is he thinking with all those pauses. Picard just says it like it is, right to your face. lol funny poll

Hehehe... True enough! Pretty much if you had a red shirt on, and you weren't Scotty, you were doomed in the first 5 minutes.

I am a much bigger fan of the original Star Trek than I ever was of the Next Generation for many reasons. However, the characters I did like in Next Generation were Picard and Data. I just don't like them as much as I like Kirk and Spock.

The original Star Trek was more hokey and corney, but I enjoy those qualities.

Star Trek seemed like a basic morality play which addressed many of the issues facing America in the 1960s, racism, the cold war, man's fear of being replaced by computers and machines, et cetera, and it was one of the first science fiction shows on TV to do this well (with the exception of the Twilight Zone).

One of the things that I loved about the original Star Trek was that it seemed to embrace humanity and individualism more than the Next Generation did. The people in the original seemed more like individuals with the foibles of individuals. Scotty liked to drink his scotch; Kirk liked to "get his groove on" with alien chicks; Bones kept going on about being an "old country doctor." Personally, I just found them more appealing on some level. The Next Generation seemed a little slicker and a little colder; the characters seemed a little flatter and made out of cardboard.

However, these are just my own personal observations and preferences. Star Trek was also the only game in town when I was young, so I naturally have a personal nostalgia for the show.

One thing that the Next Generation did give us, however, was a metaphor for the coming problems of overpopulation, rampant technology, and the postmodern shift, and that was the Borg. The Borg was a great literary device to illustrate one of the potential paths that humanity itself may go down, if we're not careful. It's a device that still serves us to this today, perhaps now, more than ever. I don't think the Borg appeared until quite later in the show though.

I think that the Borg being the menace in Next Generation is a little ironic, because I've always felt that the Next Generation crew itself had made that leap toward "future man," which is a little smoother, politically correct, and well-oiled; a little more mechanical in a social sense. The next generation crew seemed a little less personally interesting and idiosyncratic; more cog-like. Not like that undisciplined, over emotional, and all too human crew of the original show.

Ah, shit! I don't know. This is not very clearly thought out. I'm just tired, spaced out, and prone to rambling right now. I should just delete this load of rubbish, but I invested time in writing it, so I might as well post it...
