Also, James Tiberius Kirk also had his own special blend of Judo-based martial arts which he used on more than one occasion (including his final battle against Sauron who had totally outclassed Picard).
 
Kirk has better movies Picard the better tv show imo but I like the Picard movies and Kirk show as well
 
TNG>> TOS for writing and such. Personally, I never cared for Kirk (the newer films make him a bit more human and vulnerable). Picard is just... well, he's Patrick Stewart and he's British and he's bald and he's awesome.
 
If they were action figures, Kirk would be GI Joe. Picard would be Barbie's Ken.

They actually have a list for best written shows and TOS came out 10 spots better TNG. Next Gennerations advantage was that they were given the freedom to do 1 on going story wrather then the traditional 45 mins of tv that has no effect on next weeks episode. Thats not the original show fault. Think of how great it would have been to see Kirk dealing with the death of his brother, or Uhura strugling to releaen all she'd lost when Nomad zapped her brain.

Picard is French, the actor is British, and he was pretty much a suck ass who used the Prime Directive as an excuse to not get involved. He abandoned Worf on Gelron's ship when Klingons loyal t Duras attacked it. Kirk never would have done that to one of hid people.

Also, Pine kirk is a loser, "Help me not to feel Spock! Waaa!" I got up and walked out of the theater and will never watch another "Ambram Time Line" crap fest again. I have to wonder if you ever really watched the Original Series, because their were many time when Kirk express vulnerability, he just wasn't a pussy about it.

Here is the list, TOS was 33rd, TNG was in a multi place tie for 79th.

I haven't watched TOS since I was in HS. And I wouldn't sit through them again - not a Shatner fan. I still watch TNG and would rewatch many of those episodes. Maybe it's also that I liked the female leads in TNG vs TOS - I don't really consider it all about the captains any longer. I didn't care of DSN and Voyager was so-so. Enterprise I never could get into. So for me, I identified with TNG - and not with Picard vs. Kirk. But one more thing... Picard played an intellectual vs. physical captain and that was much more to my liking vs. Kirk's "machismo" approach.

I guess you missed the episode Tapestry where Picard relives his machismo past thanks to Q, and the episodes of TOS (Shore Leave & Where No Man Has Gone Before) where Kirk is shown to be a "book worm".

Probably. But those were exceptions, not rules. :) It's all good. I like Star Trek in general but Star Wars even more.

The rule is, Picard lost his balls, while Kirk kept his intellect.

As for thinking Star Wars is better, now you're just talking nonsense, and totally contradicting yourself. There was just as much machismo in Star Wars as Star Trek (Kirk>Solo) and only 1 female character of note.
 
Hate to tell you this, but there's a list (actually several lists) that claims Picard > Kirk. The one I found had 101 "reasons". All BS and nonsense of course, but I had to stop reading it after the 9th reason because it was so ridiculous. :drunktype:
 
Reason #42 why Kirk is better than Picard.

FLYING KNEE DROP!

That is all..;) :D
