Captain Kirk vs Picard and the winner is?

If you follow star trek you will know there is question of who would win a show down Captain Kirk or Captain Picard.

I found this you tube video which answers the question.

Cool clip!

Technology aside, if they both had equal ships, Kirk would win every time!!

Kirk, hands down is the winner for me.

The green b**ches went crazy for him

Kirk, definitely... I grew up watching him

If they had made star trek the next generation like the original startrek it would of been like that cleverly edited video you linked.

I find myself more liking star trek than starwars, because theres more characters and things going on.

Kirk. No question about it....

100 Reasons Kirk is better than Picard

95. Kirk can beat up a Klingon bare-handed.
90. Kirk would personally throw Wesley off his bridge.
73. Kirk can beat a Vulcan at Chess.
72. When Kirk was Picard's age, he retired from Admiral and took to
climbing rocks.
71. When Picard was 37, he was only Captain of the lowly freighter,
Stargazer. When Kirk was 37, he was Captain of the flagship
Enterprise.
60. Kirk never once said "Abandon ship! All hands abandon ship!"
42 Picard hasn't fathered any children; Kirk -- probably millions.
37. Kirk once made a cannon out of bamboo, sulphur, potassium nitrate,
charcoal and then fired diamonds into the hearts of his
enemies. (Need we say more?)
34. Kirk once fought a Greek god. And won.
22. The Klingons didn't have a word for surrender -- until they met Kirk.
11. When Kirk doesn't trust the Romulans, he fires at them. When Picard
doesn't trust the Romulans, he gets fired at.
4. Kirk traveled through The Great Barrier, met God, and wasn't even
impressed.

Ok my turn

Picard keeps a stash of Romulan ale
Picard, ego fell out with his hair
Picard, is captain of a bigger ship
Picard, has a klingon as a body guard

Hows that?

Piccard over Kirk, Original series over Next generation

At fisticuffs? Probably Kirk, as he was younger. But, I think Picard would give him a good fight.

As far as cockiness while Captain of the Enterprise, Kirk wins here because he was younger at the time of command - he was given his first command (at a young age) only because his CO was killed in battle. Picard lost his cockiness around the time he lost his heart in a bar brawl with Nausicaans, after which he realized he needed to take his career more seriously. He worked his way up through command, never having the opportunity/luxury to be designated as a CO in an emergency.

Picard, though, is a far more interesting Captain than Kirk. I think he wins in both character and personality and is a better commander overall.

Oh, those are priceless! Yep, Kirk, hands down!

73. Kirk can beat a Vulcan at Chess.
65. Kirk's first officer NEVER tells him to stay on the bridge.
32. Kirk doesn't let the doctor tell him what to do.
13. Kirk can infiltrate Gangsters, Nazis, and even the Pentagon -- easily.
8. Kirk doesn't test the engines -- he just fires them up.
1. One Word: Balls.

If Picard were Captain of the Enterprise during Kirk's time, we'd all be speaking Klingon. If the reverse was true, Kirk in Picard's time, we'd have a new war with both the Klingons and the Romulans! (and likely the Ferengi as well!)

Kirk is king !

Ok you're good.....You know that this means war

Picard keeps a stash of Romulan ale

Mccoy does as well...for "medical" research.

Picard, ego fell out with his hair

Kirk HAS hair. Besides if you are the youngest captain of starfleet's flagship you can have all the ego in the world.

Picard, is captain of a bigger ship

And how many times he blew it off? And i won't count how many times he set the auto destruct. When Kirk's ship was destroyed he stole a Bird of Prey.

Picard, has a klingon as a body guard

Kirk doesn't need a bodyguard and can beat Klingons in fight.

In DS9 episode "trials and tribble-ations" Sisco violated the temporal prime directive to get an autograph from Kirk and the temporal agent said that he would propably do the same.
Sisco doesn't like Picard.

Yes i have to admit Kirk is gonna win on Picard, although Picard is a very likeable character and probably between him and data they made TNG.
In real life i read Shatner has worn a hair piece that started in the original series. Id like to see a picture of Picard in a Kirk wig.

I like the enterprise series that predates the time period when the original startrek takes place. What did you think of that series?

Kirk has that cowboy attitude that would definately win out over some old bald guy who likes to sit in his office drinking Earl Grey tea. Kirk would win .. each and every time. Picard .... well ....

reply to post by FlyersFan


Well in defence of bald old guys some can be brilliant war strategists, for example President Eisenhower. It be hard to imagine how world war 2 would of turned out wif a Kirk type was commander in chief.

I prefer myself Kirk over Picard because hes more crazy. As for comparing The original star trek with the next generation, does anyone feel the next generation was like watching social workers in space.
