RE: Star Trek: Captain Kirk v Captain Picard - who is the Ultimate Starship Captain?
Kirk hands down. I know the effects look corny by today's standards and the show was low budget. That being said there was a realness to the characters and the way they interacted. The later shows were too much like soap operas. Just cant be bothered with them.
Totally.
The original cast especially Shatner made you suspend your disbelief and ignore the wobbly sets, rubber aliens and terrible editing between Shatner and stuntman during the fight scenes.
Patrick Stewart turned it into an intergalactic Shakespearean tragedy.......Romulan and Juliet if you will.
I can't work out whether he's the Romulan or Juliet!
I rest my case......again!
Great post TP - very good points you make. I have heard Picard's Enterprise be described as the "Love Boat" in space before. But you have to admit - Patrick Stewart is one hell of an actor.
It was like the Honeymooners. Low budget but sill the best.
