WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

Oh, Kirk made mistakes. He was very human and his interactions with the crew show that quite a bit. He supports his people, yes, but he constantly has to pull himself back from engaging with them too much because he was in a leaders' position. He still had his friends who he would vent to - Spock and Bones - and he knew exactly who could do what job. He had utmost trust in his subordinates, but he also knew they were people who had problems and would try his best to help them without blurring that line between friendship and leadership too much.

Picard was a lot more friendly and engaging with his crew, and while that isn't a bad thing, it sometimes caused problems with how they reacted to him and his orders. Kirk very rarely had issues when it came to giving orders because his crew knew they could trust him 100% - and if he wasn't there they knew that Spock had his trust completely to do what needed doing.

Picard and Riker had their issues, though, and sometimes there was a bit of a power struggle. The only times that was a problem between Spock and Kirk were when outside forces were conspiring to create that conflict (such as when Spock was affected by the pollen on that one planet), whereas there was some internal strife between Riker and Picard that caused minor rifts and instability sometimes.




Janeway is beast, though. God, I love that woman.

Picard and Kirk are definitely completely different characters that just so happen to be in the same role.

I still like Kirk more for much of the reasons piano stated. I just feel like his conflicts and solutions were more... Genuine of a heroic individual? Picard kind of bored me.

It's a great Data/Picard Spock/Kirk dynamic that just works.

I'd have liked to see that in voyager too, but unfortunately the actor of Chakotay was god awful at acting -.-

But the best character to me will probably always be the Emergency Medical Hologram.

Janeway was mostly pretty boring except for when aliens would pull some shit 45 minutes into an episode, and she would just get this exasperated look on her face like "Oh my fucking god I do not have time for this shit. Just shoot them." And she'd just shoot them and fly away, and they'd be like "Oh shit, that wasn't supposed to happen. You guys are supposed to come up with a convoluted plan revolving around non-interference that backfires several times due to transporter interference and then teaches us a valuable life lesson. Not beam us into space. Fuck."

Tim Allen from Galaxy Quest was the best Star Trek captain though. Never give up! Never surrender!

The problem is that only happened like 5% of the time, which is why she wasn't really that interesting. The rest of the time she was nothing but Generic Starfleet Personnel #73, Acting In Command. With the exception of the pilot episode, Janeway could disappear from any episode in the first three seasons and Chakotay or Tuvok could be on the bridge acting in command instead, and there would be no discernable difference.

I don't bother with "video game journalism" because I really can't be assed to care. Give it to me in the form of a Let's Play.

It makes me wonder what other things they're wrong about.

gaming gerbilism is good for news and the occasional interview and not a whole hell of a lot else.

I can't shrug harder. If they did this, what else could you possible ask for?
