    I voted jj kirk. Thought it has been a while since I have seen the reboots (Since into darkness and I only saw that once on opening day if I remember right) but that kirk does not feel like a captain of a starship like Picard he feels like a rebel who will do anything to be cool.

    I'm voting for Janeway because she's a self-appointed moraliser going around the Delta Quadrant, spewing off all these virtues and forcing alien cultures that don't even know what the Federation is, to adopt her moral positions. Then to add insult to that injury, she'll happily discipline and demote one of her officers who is merely following what she would've done herself a hundred times previously! (Paris, for those who have been living under a rock for years).

    Her crew career progression is cruel and unusual as well. Why did she keep Harry as an Ensign for seven years? She promoted, demoted and promoted Paris in that timespan, and promoted various other individuals as well - Tuvok being one of them. Yet poor Harry, who has a vital job as Operations Manager of her ship, and has a bridge watch, and leads away missions - gets kept at Ensign?

    For that, and many more - I relegate her stuffiness to the dung heap of Captains.

    Ok so I have added one extra vote for Archer and removed one for Sisko to correspond with your choice of vote, whilst I can do that I don't think I can move your name across so it will still say that you voted for Sisko on the public vote even though the figures shown will reflect how you actually wanted to vote.

    Sorry.
