Captain Kirk. It's no contest.

I went for Janeway - mix of the diplomacy of Picard and the reckless heroics of Kirk.
Haven't really seen enough of DS9 or Enterprise to comment on Sisko or Archer.

Kirk
but shouldn't April, Pike, and Spock also be on the list for completion's sake?

Janeway here. There was one early episode in particular when she had a confrontation with Tuvok about him disobeying orders. Mulgrew's acting in that scene was amazing. She was conveying disappointment, anger, frustration, and sadness in expert fashion. I put her acting skills right up there with Patrick Stewart.

Kirk but shouldn't April, Pike, and Spock also be on the list for completion's sake? April only appeared in one episode, in the animated series, so I don't think that counts. Pike likewise only appeared in The Cage and Menagerie, which used The Cage, so it's really one episode. And Pike didn't exactly make a good showing of his command abilities. Why, he let himself lured by a beautiful woman and attacked by one of the barbaric natives. Not good. Spock commanded briefly, most notably in The Galileo Seven. If not for Scotty, he would have had a full-blown mutiny on his hands. That's a failing grade right there. |

I wonder if there is a question that has been debated more times than this one on online entertainment forums… I remember a Doonesbury strip from probably twenty years ago where the character realises when his alarm clock goes off that he again spent the whole night online debating who’s the best Star Trek captain.
Anyway, my answer is Jean-Luc Picard, for the unmatched air of authority that he has about him. Benjamin Sisko is second and could have had a shot at the top spot if not for Avery Brooks hamming it up sometimes.
I don’t even put Kirk up for consideration since the original series was so cheesy that I can’t watch an entire episode nowadays, even though I loved it when I first discovered it as a teenager in the 80s.
