5) He was not afraid to show emotion. kirk never cried, Picard only cried when his brother died and when he was tortured.

Wrong

*puts on geek hat

When Kirks son was killed by Klingons.............we went insane, and tried to eliminate their whole race.
 
firstly, how did i not see this thread? :confused:

Secondly, sisko was my favorite. He was the most human out of all of them.

1) He had a wife. None of the other captains had an actual spouse
2) He was a father. Kirk didn't know about his son until he was a grown man and Picard had a "son" for half an episode
3) He had a great relationship with his father. janeway's father was dead and picard's father died hating him for joinging starfleet
4) He cooked :eek:
5) He was not afraid to show emotion. kirk never cried, Picard only cried when his brother died and when he was tortured.



Mayne, let these John Edwards loving muthafuckas know. :smh: The second them white boys seem like they got a little game, and put that, " My thinking Brow " look on, ninjas love 'em.

Then these ninjas keep claiming he was a pimp. How hard is it to PIMP when you got a fucking STARSHIP! A fucking STARSHIP mayne!! If you can't pussy with a fucking starship . . . :hmm:

1.Captain Picard cause i grew up watching him.Not too much a pimp as Kirk but still pretty cool.

2.Captain Sisko is the MAN.I had never seen Star Trek the way it was show on DS9.Saw a few episodes on Spike TV and been collecting the DVDs ever since.Mirror Universe Sisko was fucking all his female crewmates :lol:

3.Kirk is before my time but i catch reruns and I liked all the movies he was in.Wraith of Kahn and The Undiscovered Country

Janeway and the cat off Quantum Leap don't even matter to me.I stop watching after DS9 went off the air.I think Star Trek lost it's "infinite diversity" after Gene Roddenberry wasn' involved as the black dude in enterprise was there just to be there,same wit asain dude off voyager

*puts on larger geek hat*

i'll give you that, he did get really choked up when his son was killed by those "klingon bastards" and at Spocks funeral. But that still doesn't compare to sisko.

He (sisko) cried and had to be dragged away from his wife's body.
He cried when her alternate died in the alternate universe.
He cried in "far beyond the stars"

And more importantly, he cried even when no one died. Such as in the episodes "rapture", "meridian" "the reckoning" and "homefront/paradise lost"

in the episode "change of heart" he was able to relate to Worf's situation and admitted that had he been in that situation, he wouldn't have left jennifer either.

Also, he said "i love you" a bunch of times, the only other captain to even say that was janeway and she only said it once to her fiance in "caretaker"

*takes off massive geek hat*
 
Gotta go with Sisqo...the man put Q on his azz with one punch. What other Starfleet captain can claim that?

Good pull on that YouTube video, that episode of DS9 (In the Pale Moonlight) was probably one of the best episodes of Star Trek ever.

"Q-Less" Part 3

Q: You Hit me? Picard never HIT me!?


Sisqo: I'm NOT Picard!
 
it seems like every series, except the original, really comes alive in the third season

TNG had "best of both worlds" in the season finale
DS9 had "the search" in the season premier
Voyager had "scorpion" in the season finale
Enterprise devoted damn near the entire season to the xindi

True that....the first couple of seasons it seems like they are always trying to stay true Gene Rodenberry's vision of the perfect future where best intentions always play out right.

By the time the later seasons come around, the writers find their own voice and aren't constrained by Rodenberry. When they went outside the box, shit started poppin (Borg, Dominion,).
 
I have to go with Kirk if you count the movies. As far as the shows go I thought I liked TGN the best but looking back a the reruns it wasn't all that. DS9 on the other hand is absolutely superb from the introduction of the Dominion on. If you like the dark style of BSG then you should really like the last 3 seasons of DS9.

WHAT!!?? Lil John says WHAT!!??

All you had to do, to peep Gene's vision, was the The Magog /Borg/dominion.

That wasn't the writers, that was always Rodenberry!!

:smh:

Mayne, you don't know NOTHIN!


:hmm:
 
PICARD
SISKO
KIRK

In that order.

Most peeps don't realize that shows like "TNG" and DS:9" were like tapestries. Most actions committed by the captains and their crews had further consequences on down the line. Not many "stand alone" episodes. And that was more so with "DS:9". Shit was like a fuckin' painted canvas with interwoven stories. And that's what I always like about it, besides its dark tone.

I will give a nod to "VOYAGER". I did like Kate Mulgrew's "Hepburn" attitude towards her role. But I found the show very weak at times.
You know what, I called her style "sir" for years, but you just nailed it.
She was Hepburn. That's what it is. Good acting, but it's already been done.

You might want to re-read what I was attempting to convey. Basically I stated that when the stories was constrained by Rodenberry's vision of the future (perfect humanity, always getting along, and the spirit of exploration), the stories were boring as fuck

First two season's of TNG, first season of DS9 as main examples. When you had the writers straying away from Rodenberry's vision, that is when the stories got interesting (Borg, Dominion War, Section 31). You might want to look over the first seasons of TNG and DS9 and you'll understand what I'm saying.

Bumpin this post cause they have Far Beyond the Stars on SpikeTV right now. Powerful story, one of the best in Star Trek imo.

Avery Brooks got the human emotion bit on lock but so does DS9 as a whole. I still roll wit Professor X as a captain though.
 
For me it was Avery Brooks as Sisko.

The Dominion War was something that really put DS9 as a series into a new light IMO.

Check out his directing skills as well.

In series 6, he directed a episode called 'Far beyond the stars'
 
Captain Kirk.

Man the shit that man went through in his 5 year mission. Klingons trying to kill him, and all other kinds of bullshit.

He made the job easier for Captains Picard, Janeway, and Sisko.

YEAH!!! 6 of 9 did it for me too..:dance:

AWWWWWW SHIT! I ain't no fucking Que Dawg but sometimes when I see that bitch I wanna start barking at that how. Tig ol bities, thick lips, I'd love to fuck her face to face so I could play with all that :yes:
:dance:

But on the cool, its simple, Voyager was loosing ratings, they put her on, ratings go up. That's food for thought, you do the dishes...
 
I seem to be the opposite of some people. I never watched the UPN Star Treks. I finished with the end of DS9.

I grew up watching the reruns of TOS and was mildly fascinated. Kirk was a character I could understand from watching westerns with my grandfather.

Picard was more of a tactician, a field general. He never was the one to run in and get his hands dirty, he had an away team for that. (Kirk always went to the planet, Picard hardly ever did.)

Both were like the old shows where the traveler encounters new people going from town to town (The Fugitive, The Saint, The Incredible Hulk)

DS9 was different. It was stable. It was not Gunsmoke or Wagon Train, it was Bonanza, ER ... the drama came to them. So you had the same locales with new characters showing up. It was not all the hope and optimism of new discovery from being on the Enterprise. It was the dark and droll everyday life of manning an outpost. But there was a sheriff in town. Sisko and Odo were Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. They kept the law, but the law was not always clean. There was human (and non human) depth. They allowed the characters to go places that the action junkies could not go.

I have fond memories of TOS as a kid. I loved TNG as a teenager. But if I would have a chance to have a new edition of series on DVD ... it would be DS9. So my vote has to be for Benjamin Lafayette Sisko.

Couldn't have said it better. Sisko got my vote too. As an entire series i preferred DS9, but each series had at least a few episodes that had some merit on their own. Yes...even Enterprise.
 
Look...

Kirk is dead

Janeway is dead

Sisqo is chilling with some alien god mofos

Old boy quantem leaped his ass up outta here

PICARD IS STILL ALIVE MAKING IT SO!

Plus, Picard ain't right in the head anymore. Not since that Lucutos of Borg shit, he's liable to go LEFT on a mutha fucka. And if you fuck with JLP his crew with come after yo ass with a vengence.

Plus, I'd just like to say, it's time for a fucking DS9 and Voyager movie...shit, why they making another movie based on the original series. Leave well enough alone.

Didn't Worf captain the Defiant for a little bit? where's the love for the brotha?!

The best Star Trek episode...of ALL the series, is a DS9 episode.

A freak accident occurs and Sisqo is struck by a displacement beam during a scientific experiment and vanishes. Sisqo is believe dead, but appears every couple years to Jake. Jake then devotes his entire life to finding a way to getting his father back. By the end of the episode, an elderly Jake sacrifices himself to send Sisqo back in time to prevent the accident from ever happening. !!! The son sacrifices himself to save the father?! Are you kidding me! That was some serious deep father/son shit for dat ass. Nigga was teary eyed toward the end. :cool:
 
Because of this thread I have been watching Season One of DS9 all week.
I hadn't watched the show since it was on the air in the 90's, so watching it now, I'm easily bumping Sisko to my #2 spot behind only James T. Kirk.

He earned it.

I always got clowned by some folks for saying this...

But "DS:9" was the BEST BLACK SHOW on TV at the time. At a time where we had nothing but buffoonery on TV (for the most part), one of the things "DS:9" boiled down to was the relationship between a Black Father and Son. And you definitely wasn't getting that on TV (the other main positive Black TV male being Frank Pembleton on "HOMICIDE: LOTS").

So many Black folks missed out on this.
 
Look...
Janeway is dead
She made a brief appearance in Nemesis

Plus, I'd just like to say, it's time for a fucking DS9 and Voyager movie...shit, why they making another movie based on the original series. Leave well enough alone.
I wish Voyager or DS9 did have movies, but movies for those two series would have to had come out while they were still on TV.
Because DS9 and Voyager were series that played out from a beginning to a end. Meanwhile TNG and TOS were just random episodes.

Didn't Worf captain the Defiant for a little bit? where's the love for the brotha?!
He was Captain of the Defiant during the whole Dominion War except when they lost control of DS9.
 
gotta bring the word to ya straight:

kirk - the best there ever was or will be. didnt put up with nobodys shit, plus he was hittin uhura on the side, so got to respect that.

johnlucfuckup: he was basically a puppet, no drive, no enthusiasm, just a cracka who needed baked.

janeway: freakin terrible. Sorry, even in the 25th century, women didnt make good captains, weak, and 7 of 9 was actually about a 5 without the suit.

archer: good try, too much of the quantum leap coming through, and technology was too old. people didnt want to see the federation get thier ass kicked.

ds9: bad show, not really a captain though, more of a mayor. bad characters, the rubber man, the hurt woman, the reincarnated woman, this just sucked.

Star Trek Movies: 1-5, excellent, wrath of khan had to be the best. Of course they needed to up the anty and go "R" throw in some blood and guts, and uhura getting it by kirk, that would be great, of course spock couldnt get it on, unless he was menstrating. but alast, most of the characters are now dead, mckoy, scotty, i am not looking forward to the day that they all are gone, it will be a sad day in stardate.

notice: if any one here knows any creators of star trek, go back to the roots, explore, sex, plots, planet trips, hot women, crazy creatures, and you will have a show.:cool:

Everything you are asking for was in DS9.

Explore: The Gamma Quadrant.

Sex: There was a Baby born, About 3 Marriages, and 4 or more Relationships throughout the series.

Plots: Once the Dominion War started, the series ended with cliff hangers just about every episode.

Planet Trips: Bajor, Cardassia Prime, Klingon Homeworld, Earth, and the Planets in the Gamma Quadrant.

Hot Women: Not so many but there were some.

Crazy Creatures: Changlings, Jem Hadar, Vorters, Power Wraith/Worm hole Aliens.

The next closes Star Trek that fit all these categories was Enterprise.
 
Captain Sisko..because he's the only captain that didn't have a more intelligent Vulcan as a right hand "man" (ie Tuvok, Spock, or the Vulcan Chick on Enterprise)
 
DS9 appealed to me because it gave the characters a bit more depth, kind of a more than meets the eye kind of thing. Especially with in regards to the Ferengi and the Klingons. Showed the Ferengi to be more than just marauding thieves as they were portrayed in TNG. One of my favorite episode will always be when Nog wants to enter the Academy, and Sisko forced him to tell him the reasons why. It's only a minor part of the whole episode, but it pulls at the old heartstrings.
