User:Siroxo/List of Star Trek captains

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Fictional Star Trek captains have been compared, contrasted, and examined as a group for leadership and other attributes.[1][2][3][4] After the debut of Star Trek: The Next Generation, comparisons of Captain Kirk and Captain Picard were published.[5][6] In 2009, Matt Blum of Wired wrote: "while Sisko, Janeway, and even Archer have their fans, the quintessential Star Trek debate has been, since TNG premiered nearly 22 years ago, who’s the better captain: Kirk or Picard?"[7]
