So I see that another YouTube video has been made with the premise of "which is the best Star Trek captain", and once again I ask myself...


PNQ: How do you define the best Starfleet captain?


I'm sure at least some of you have heard the fandom expression "you bring Picard to win a negotiation, Kirk to win a battle, and Sisko to win a war." But note that these require different skillsets, ones that can't be overlapped altogether. There will always be deficiencies.


There are situations where I'd want Janeway to be in command, others for Spock or Kira or Maxwell or freaking Matt Decker! But which would be above competent for any possible mission?


Feet to the fire, I'd choose Kirk if I had the guarantee that Spock would be right there beside him. As a team they're more versatile than any of the other captain/first officer teams in my opinion.
