    I don't like those results... I demand a recount.

    I suspect there was an element of voter fraud in certain states.

    There's a also lots of captains missing from the list.



    Which other captains and actors have been the lead in one or more official
    Star Trek TV series? There are two in animated series - Sort of - but tbh
    Lower Decks is not captain-focused and Prodigy doesn't have an official
    captain in place to speak of ...

    Michael Burnham doesn't belong on the list. She's a good enough actress
    I suppose, but it's not her fault her tv show sucks dick.

    That whole series doesn't count since it isn't star trek, in my eyes.

    Here's my opinion.

    6 Archer
    5 Janeway
    4 Picard
    3 Pike
    2 Sisko
    1 Kirk

    I concur.

    20th century barfly/radio shrink to 23rd/24th century starship captain
    and doesn't even get a mention. So sad. Gonna go have a beer with
    Norm...

    Was he the Bar-Fly that flew the first 'Faster than Light' Spaceship??

    No. That was Zephram Cochrane.

    Fraser played the captain of the spaceship that went through some sort of
    warp and ended up in Picards time and then they forgot about it completely.

    In Picard's shoes, Sisko WOULD have sent the virus to the collective. EVEN if
    he had not been at Wolf 359. That's what 'In The Pale Moonlight.' was about:
    Sisko making a painful conscience shaking decision in order to save the
    Federation. Sisko's view on the Captains is clear: The first time he met
    Picard, he wanted to punch his lights out. When he met Kirk? He got his
    autograph. 'nuff said there.

    I'm glad to see Rachel Garret make the list. Just a few scenes and she shows
    exactly what it takes to be Captain of Star Fleet's Flagship.

    Why does everyone involved with STAR TREK not seem to understand what a flagship is?

    Everyone from the writers to the fans seem to think a flagship is 'the best ship' or 'the most famous ship' or 'the pride of the fleet' or something similar.

    It's not anything of the kind. The flagship is the ship carrying the
    commanding flag officer (admiral) of a fleet or task force. Hence the name flagship. An admiral has a literal flag that's flown on the mast of the
    ship when he or she is aboard. It has anywhere from one to four white stars
    on a red background, depending on the admiral's rank. In the American navy,
    the flagship is usually, but not always, the aircraft carrier in the battle group. If, for some reason, the admiral ferries over to one of the
    destroyers, then that ship will hoist the admiral's flag and become the flagship.

    The Enterprise is not a flagship, except on those rare occasions when an admiral is aboard her. Like when Admiral Nechayev was on the Enterprise to
    deal with the Borg. Then it became a flagship, but only until the admiral disembarked.

    The Enterprise might have been a flagship for about five minutes there at
    the beginning of TMP. I’m not sure exactly when Kirk and Deckers reductions in rank became active.

    Same with DS9. One doctor for an entire space station dealing with an
    itinerant population of constantly changing alien species? Seems unlikely.

    I thought they were the head doctor in the medical department. We never saw the others because who cares about those NPCs?

    Michael Burnham doesn't belong on the list. She's a good enough actress

    That whole series doesn't count since it isn't star trek, in my eyes.

    As of now, STD is no longer official Star Trek and being memory-holed as I type.

    Here's my opinion.

    6 Archer
    5 Janeway
    4 Picard
    3 Pike
    2 Sisko
    1 Kirk

    I'd definitekly switch Janeway and Archer.

    Archer the Executioner slaughtered millions of innocent people.

    But Janeway murdered everybody everywhere.

    In Picard's shoes, Sisko WOULD have sent the virus to the collective. EVEN if
    he had not been at Wolf 359. That's what 'In The Pale Moonlight.' was about:
    Sisko making a painful conscience shaking decision in order to save the
    Federation. Sisko's view on the Captains is clear: The first time he met >>> Picard, he wanted to punch his lights out. When he met Kirk? He got his
    autograph. 'nuff said there.

    I'm glad to see Rachel Garret make the list. Just a few scenes and she shows
    exactly what it takes to be Captain of Star Fleet's Flagship.

    Why does everyone involved with STAR TREK not seem to understand what a flagship is?

    Everyone from the writers to the fans seem to think a flagship is 'the best ship' or 'the most famous ship' or 'the pride of the fleet' or something similar.

    It's not anything of the kind. The flagship is the ship carrying the commanding flag officer (admiral) of a fleet or task force. Hence the name flagship. An admiral has a literal flag that's flown on the mast of the
    ship when he or she is aboard. It has anywhere from one to four white stars on a red background, depending on the admiral's rank. In the American navy, the flagship is usually, but not always, the aircraft carrier in the battle group. If, for some reason, the admiral ferries over to one of the destroyers, then that ship will hoist the admiral's flag and become the flagship.

    The Enterprise is not a flagship, except on those rare occasions when an admiral is aboard her. Like when Admiral Nechayev was on the Enterprise to deal with the Borg. Then it became a flagship, but only until the admiral disembarked.

    Admiral Hanson? (role by George Murdock)

    I Don't recall him, then!!

    The Enterprise is caught in some kind of time loop and they crash into
    Frasier's ship and everybody dies, but then it automatically resets and
    they go through it again. They managed to get data to remember a small
    message which was enough to get him to dodge left instead of right or
    whatever.

    Didn't they say Fraser's ship had been colliding with the Enterprise for decades?

    There was African-American Dr M'Benga in "A Private Little War" and
    "That Which Survives". He's a regular now in Strange New Worlds,
    somehow looking about ten years older than he did in those original
    series episodes supposedly set several years later.

    Wasn't the doctor with Pike black? I seem to recall one before Bones.


    Only in SNW.

    In The Cage there was Phil Boyce.

    That whole series doesn't count since it isn't star trek, in my eyes.

    Here's my opinion.

    6 Archer
    5 Janeway
    4 Picard
    3 Pike
    2 Sisko
    1 Kirk

    I'd definitekly switch Janeway and Archer.

    Archer the Executioner slaughtered millions of innocent people.

    But he was a holodeck similation, was he not?

    Of a bad example to follow

    Because they couldn't find anybody incompetent enough to serve under
    crusher.

    I distinctly remember a Japanese backup for Crusher.

    She was a nurse.



    And turned out to be a nasty piece of work

    Also, why do Federation ships like the Enterprise with a

    Same with DS9. One doctor for an entire space station dealing
    with an itinerant population of constantly changing alien
    species? Seems unlikely.

    I thought they were the head doctor in the medical department.
    We never saw the others because who cares about those NPCs?

    I'm sure I've seen a TOS Episode/Film where there IS another Doctor
    .... I think McCoy even talks to him. have an image of an Asian guy

    Black. He’s a specialist in Vulcan medicine.

    Asian == Vulcan! Close enough!!

    M’Benga if I’m spelling that right.

    He appears on strange new worlds twisted beyond recognizability. In
    fact what they did to him and Nurse Chapel is the reason I quit
    watching that show.

    Is that the actual Actors .... or just Characters??

    The characters. On strange new worlds they are both drug addled berserker assassins.



    (I'm guessing the Actor who played TOS Nurse Chapel would be getting on
    in Years (80's or 90's, maybe).

    There was African-American Dr M'Benga in "A Private Little War" and
    "That Which Survives". He's a regular now in Strange New Worlds,
    somehow looking about ten years older than he did in those original
    series episodes supposedly set several years later.

    Wasn't the doctor with Pike black? I seem to recall one before Bones.


    Only in SNW.

    In The Cage there was Phil Boyce.

    And Piper in. Where No Man Has Gone Before.

    The actress was the late Majel (Barrett) Roddenberry.

    She did the voice of the old TOS computer and I guess Next Gen's as well.

    She's gone now as so many are...

    For over 80 years or something.

    How would that even work?



    Or maybe just the same amount of time the E-D went through, after the
    Bozeman arrived and collided with that starboard nacelle. Not exactly
    sure what caused the loop. That time anomaly or the explosion or those
    two combined?
