Kirk was a yankee, and kicked ass.

Picard was french, and surrendered **in the first episode.**

Kirk said "screw the prime directive" and helped the natives.

Picard stood and watched while an entire planet suffocated-- and then got MAD when he found out someone saved the lives of a few of the natives.

Kirk had ALL the ladies after him.

Picard had some menopausal old bat chasing him around.

Kirk was an explorer.

Picard was a socialist bureaucrat.

Kirk only had two ships... and he only lost the first one when he blew it up to frag some Klingons.

Picard managed to lose, last count, THREE ships, counting his first command.

Kirk threw punches. Picard threw tea parties.

Nuff said.

Yupyup.

Now just a thought. . .

If that were a gingerbread house,

Would Belrain have gotten a Hansel on things?

With the reactions that some forumites have to puns your re-mark may lead to re-Gretal on your part.
Best to proceed Gingerly. Or failing that, to Turtle up because if you are a Candy-<Donkey> you might just end up needing a Cane to walk with before this is all over. Beltane out the jokes as fast as one can is another option. Just keep asking yourself: "What would Billy Gram-cracker do in this situation?" You don't have to be Isaac Fig-Newton to see the tragectory of this story arc though... expect a miracle soon, because while the boss just Loaves around Ben does the right thing and Fishes Beltain out of the rubble. Actually it has already happend, as we have seen blessings multiplied on Ben. Fred rejoices, and Mr. Bruin will find new uses for his skill with invoices. Sweet Mary help him!* Actually... nevermind... sweet you may be young beaver, but clumsy you also are, you would probably just make things worse... but if you want to gain a little information via Rico-nocence that might be acceptable. If things go wrong for him you can always hope that your uncle's Nepolitanism extends to not firing your boyfriend.

I'm guessing but I think the pun is "a mess o' puns".

Think 'mass of puns' (or 'mess of puns' - either one works).

You are correct sir, I would agree with you in all points. But you forgot one.

Picard got his ass kicked by a mad scientist and had to get Kirk's help to actually beat the guy before that Northern Lights thing went by.

I still prefer the Enterprise-A design to the luxury cruise ship the D was made to be.

It's even better when you add in all the lovely weapons that the ships were supposed to have when you look at the Starfleet Command PC Game or Starfleet Battles. ^-^

Not to nitpick...

But Picard lost two ships only that im aware of, The Stargazer which was his first command, and the Enterprise D(and tho he WAS in command ,Riker had the bridge, and it was Troi's crap driving that crashed the saucer --- and as far as i giva damn, riker botched that lil battle to start with). As the movie Nemisis ended, he was still in command of the refitted Enterprise E, with Riker assuming command of his owwn ship. (m not counting shuttlecraft and so on that Trek seems to go thru like water). Kirk, manwhile stole the Enterprise to rescue spock -- a necessary move considering starfleet being daft. Picard followed orders a lil too closely -- but then he had reason to.

Now, if you want an impressive Starfleet Captian, id say Janeway is the one that took things to the hilt....

Betcha didnt see that comin.

Yeah, but the "E" model looks vicious with all the more pointed bow and warp nacelle configs as well as the shortened main pylon. She looks compact and nasty even though she's frikkin' HUGE. I really think it's the coolest of the lot.....I'd love to know what kind of enhanced weaponry she packs.

If you REALLY want to pick nits, Picard only lost ONE ship, NCC 1701-D. He got the Stargazer back "courtesy" of the Ferengi. She was never destroyed in the battle with the Ferengi in which Bok's son was killed.

And I agree with you on Janeway.

Aw, fer cryin' out unprintably - you guys HAD to start up on Star Trek, din'cha?

Kirk took his ship into many battles, and always brought her back again - sometimes badly damaged, of course, but she always came home - until the last time, when he was forced to blow her up to save his crew. Let's face it - you can't run a starship effectively in battle with just a few people, no matter how much automation you have. His luck just ran out, finally. He didn't even lose the battle - he just traded ships with the enemy - much to the enemy's detriment when the Enterprise self-destructed.
Picard and Riker, on the other hand, had the occasional firefight (generally with some cheesy spacecraft that made ARCHER'S Enterprise look advanced), but few genuine battles against the odds that Kirk usually faced (the Borg being a notable exception). In the end, they lost the Enterprise-D to a friggin' obsolete Bird of Prey, fer cryin' out loud - the same ship that Kirk routinely blasted away without a second thought! Talk about being an embarrassment to Starfleet...

One more thing - I wouldn't talk too much about the Stargazer - Picard was forced to abandon it as a derelict, and the Ferengi wound up in possession, and almost killed him with it before he got his head screwed back on straight.

Janeway rocks!
