"There is one Earth man who doesn't remind me of a Regulan bloodworm. That's Kirk. A Regulan bloodworm is soft, and shapeless. But Kirk isn't soft. Kirk may be a swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood. But he's not soft."

Picard was the sissy Kirk from the sissy alternate universe.

The original James Tiberius Kirk!

He’d either fight it or “blank” it.

It’s the American way (or once was...)!
