GREAT JOB EVERYONE ELSE!

I have made a reply with each Captain's name. This is not a popularity contest. This is a Leadership contest. Who is/was the best captain?

Upvote your choice(s). Comment on your choices if you like, explaining your rational... or don't comment if you don't like.

PLEASE, do not comment negatively on any captain. Let the love flow for these captains. Positivity please.

Lastly, if you know a captain I missed and you want to add them, feel free! There are a lot I didn't include because I just tried to hit the major franchises, but there are certainly some worth mentioning.

P.S. I'm not a student of Trek or even that smart, just a fan trying something, so if I screw it up please forgive.

Anybody got any thoughts? I'm planning a watch of the entire series and a deep dive into the offshoots.

EDIT: This one is not the original producer's page, but it's laid out a lot more easy to follow. Moves from 1 through to the end.

It's so relevant.

The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn't equipped to deal with people well.

It's too late for me, but I'm glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.

God bless you all.

Tell me why I'm wrong, and if not, repudiate this maudlin, caricatured, two-dimensional, simplistic, cliched, sappy, melodramatic, piece of cinematic legend.

Only useful against technology really, and that seems so unrealistic. That's where it lost me, the convenience of a creature that can EM machines. So unbelievable.

Plus Kick-Ass saving the world.

I understand that our local galaxy group is considered "gravitationally bound" and therefore exempt from the expansion from each other ((, but we don't seem to have other galaxies collected into their own "local groups" of gravitationally bound clusters, so are we saying we're somehow unique? Is there a trick of perception taking place?)) <---edit:this is wrong

I found this quote in the Wikipedia article on the Expansion of the universe.

While objects cannot move faster than light, this limitation applies only with respect to local reference frames and does not limit the recession rates of cosmologically distant objects.

It seems to me that if we can perceive at cosmological distance something that cannot exist, perhaps we are falsely observing an expanding universe. Maybe everything IS gravitationally bound and we're just seeing expansion because... Relativity?

When I found out she used to teach English at Gainesville high School, I asked her if she had ever taught a student named Tom Petty.

"Oh I remember Tommy Petty," she said. "He would never write a paper, but he would write songs. I would let him play one in front of the class instead of writing a paper. He would play the most awful music."

PS. I loved Tom Petty. He seemed to have a career that satisfied his every wish. He played with all his heroes, was actual friends with icons, and was a true treasure.
