Talking about the movies or series, my vote is for Capt. Jean Luc Picard.

Patrick Stewart is a serious actor that makes anything easy to believe, Shatner is a good enterteiner but not in the same level.

I also remember his fantastic peformance in Excalibur as Guiniveer's father.

Voting currently 2:1 for TNG!  Guess I never saw enough of JLP and his crew to appreciate them, but  having grown up with James T, Mr Spock, Bones and Scotty I feel honour bound to give Star Trek my vote.

From what I've read, in 1960 Roddenberry started pitching a science fiction series for TV. The pilot was 1965 and the original series started in 1966.
In making my decision, just to be fair, I tried not to throw Kirk and Picard up against each other without their crews. So I thought about Kirk and Crew versus Picard and Crew. Then I considered that the captain is the supreme being on board ship. So, it really does break down to Kirk vs Picard.

I recall reading that Battlestar Galactica didn't last too long because the special effects were too expensive for a television series.


Excuse me excuse me.  At the risk of showing my age, the original Star Trek ran in the late '60's.  No denying it often had that '50's B movie air about it though.  I was on board for the original Battlestar series at it's beginning, but it was turned into a kiddie thing.  The new BG is pretty well done.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

when TOS was good it was the best thing on TV, Next Gen was a first rate show but it was too polished, I love the character of the old series  ..as for the films they're about even I guess, they always seemed to hit-and-miss, every other one a winner

anyway, Kirk

When I was young I used to watch the Kirk/Spck gang quite a lot and it was good at the time.
 
Lately though I saw a few episodes again and was horrified at the cheesy ham acting. I can live with the cheap effects of the time and a lot of stuff that goes together with those episodes being so old, but the acting is just plain awful. Just can't excuse that.
 
Picard and crew are quite good though.

Shatner vs. Stewart
My pick goes to Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Now there's a character I loved to hate.  Will Wheaton is actually quite a liberal and is currently running a blog and has a family, which just seems so weird to me.  LOL

Wesley Crusher, all grown up with a family, whaaa? Tongue

I've really got to collect more Star Trek, I only have the original series. I like watching it whenever it's on on the "Syfy" channel.
