Star Trek Smackdown: Kirk vs. ...?
... Who Could Out-Lead Kirk?: A Paley Center Poll
Is Kirk really the über-commander, the greatest leader in the history of science fiction on television? You tell us. Below we offer twelve alternatives, along with snarky comments intended to jog your memory (and, perhaps, sway your vote). If we left out your own personal favorite, offense intended. But you can write in below and tell us all about it.
Most importantly, cast your vote for whomever YOU think is the strongest candidate to go mano-a-mano with Kirk for the title of best TV sci-fi leader. The results of this poll will help shape the contents of a special Paley Center event in New York on May 7—a “Star Trek Smackdown”—at which our handpicked panel of sci-fi experts will debate whether Kirk is in fact God, as so many of his disciples seem to believe, or whether he is merely a Denethor-like pretender to a throne that rightly belongs to someone else. (Bonus: When you vote, you'll get access to an exclusive clip of Gene Roddenberry speaking at a Paley Center event.)
So go ahead and vote. After all, resistance is futile.
[Candidates include:]
Samantha Carter - (Amanda Tapping) Stargate SG-1/Stargate Atlantis
Brainy and brawny, Carter had a Ph.D in theoretical astrophysics and logged over 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War—need we say more?
Jack O’Neill - (Richard Dean Anderson) Stargate SG-1/Stargate Atlantis
Hey, any guy who loves The Simpsons and Mad magazine can lead us straight to hell and we’ll be right behind.
Jean-Luc Picard - (Patrick Stewart) Star Trek: The Next Generation
Benjamin Sisko - (Avery Brooks) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Kathryn Janeway - (Kate Mulgrew) Star Trek: Voyager
Jonathan Archer - (Scott Bakula) Enterprise
William Adama - (Edward James Olmos) Battlestar Galactica
Adama - (Lorne Greene) Battlestar Galactica
Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds - (Nathan Fillion) Firefly
Dr. John Robinson - (Guy Williams) Lost in Space
John Crichton - (Ben Browder) Farscape
John Sheridan - (Bruce Boxleitner) Babylon 5
