Kirk would have cried like a little girl at the first sight of the borg. Picard would have sought to destroy their cube in mecca.

Did you read this article before you moved it to chat, or did you simply see that it had to do with Star Wars and be done with it? The article analyzes the two characters based on current events themes and conservative guidelines.

Okay, I'll bite. I agree with this article. I wonder what Kirk would have been like if he had the technology that Picard had?
BTW, I never really liked Picard. A very wooden character. Janeway, now there was a captain after my heart.

Gospel truth, and what a parallel to the election choice we face this year....

Picard is still the best damn French (star)naval commander of all time. I'd serve under him anyday. Riker on the other hand... Sure he liked jazz but he seemed very unambitious and wishy washy.

Kirk would have cried like a little girl at the first sight of the borg. Picard would have sought to destroy their cube in mecca. Picard had the chance to destroy the Borg with the 'virus' implanted in Hugh Borg, and, like a typical Frenchie, he wimped out because (sniff!) Hugh had demonstrated individuality (which I'm sure comes as a real comfort to all the people the Borg killed since).
Kirk would have happily strapped a grenade to his ass and sent him on his way.

There is, was, and only ever will be, ONE true Captain of the Starship Enterprise.

Picard would have sought to destroy their cube in mecca.Then why didn't he send that borg back with the virus?

Not to mention, it's a perfect backdrop article for the current presidential choice in this country.
