The Official Rankings of best to worst Star Trek Captains

1. James T Kirk
2. Benjamin Sisko - he only ranks 2nd because without Kirk there is no ST franchise
3. James T Kirk by Chris Pine, great job making the legendary roll his own
4. Jean Luc Picard - He was OK, middle of the road
5. Johnny Archer - Really not much there, he didn't degrade the roll too much, but didn't do much either
6. Kathryn Janeway - Forgetable, like basically her entire crew, the writing of the show was poor, the most memorable characters were a Holographic Doctor who really stole the show, and strictly eye candy 7 of 9.

I hate the “new Trek” too much to pay attention to Pines acting.

Sisko is a very very weird actor. I think he has mental issues.

Archer was pretty damn good IMO. That show rocked.

[Speaker to Animals]

Obviously Star Trek is a ridiculous space fantasy disguised as science fiction. But just on their own relative merits between shows, nobody can seriously argue against the fact that Archer was technically the better character. Archer had more depth and complexity, and actually evolved throughout the seasons. The guy literally starts as a famous engineer captaining a ship designed only for exploration into a true military leader fighting a war, with all the changes therein.

All the other captains were just static placeholders so that the writers could push their political and social agendas.

The permanent suspension only lasted for a day, but the experience was traumatic and lasting. I now understand how Nelson Mandela felt. If anything, my ordeal was even more damaging. Mandela may have had to endure 27 years of incarceration, but at least his male privilege protected him from ever having to put up with mansplaining, or being subject to wolf-whistling by grubby proles on a building site.

Don’t get me wrong. I have always supported censorship. Major social media platforms have a responsibility to ensure that we are expressing the correct sort of free speech.

She opened with this:

My name is Titania McGrath. I am a radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice, and armed peaceful protest. In April of this year, I decided to become more industrious on social media. I was inspired by other activists who had made use of their online platforms in order to spread their message and explain to people why they are wrong about everything.

That plus her profile pic right next to this is enough to send any sane person running away from her. She looks crazy in that picture.

Edit: After reading the rest of that I have a hard time believing this is real. It's like she created this fake persona that came out of the worst paranoid dreams of an Alex Jones.

[Ph64]

The one that stuck out to me there was "armed peaceful protest".

It's obviously satire, especially considering its Quilette which is very anti-PC/SJW.

[PartyOf5]

Based on the comments this appears to be some sort of satire/comedy routine for her. She's not doing her beliefs any good if she really believes half of what she writes. For those taking it all seriously she justifies everything the far right says about the far left. For those saying "HAHA, this is all satire" it just makes the rest of us not trust anyone else who sounds anything like this.

I never heard of the site. Just respond on the fly as I take it in. So basically it's much ado about nothing. With all the truly crazy shit out there it's hard to differentiate the real crazy from the satire.

You never watched TNG. Just admit it now.
