Again, debatable. Boston Legal?
Intelligent people can quibble over many of these points, but not this one. This one is just not debatable. We're talking Royal Shakespeare Company here people.
Point conceded.
However currently, though Shatner may be the Priceline.com dude, Stewart is Stan Smiths Boss on American Dad! :)) Equal cheesy for all!

Archer...the guy who had so little faith in the transporter that he said once said that he wouldn't even put his dog through it?

Epic fail. Back of the line.

Archer loved his dog, Porthos. Perhaps too much... =))

All the alien races hated Kirk cuz he was the best. See "Duke Hatred Tsunami"
No, the alien races hated Kirk because he boned all their wives. :-o

Can't agree there. See above.

What about Jonathan Archer? I liked him a lot. By ST chronology, he was the first. ;)

I'm an Archer fan also. I was disappointed when they canceled the series, but I think I've got all the episodes as mpg's now.

I saw Stewart's portrayal of Ebeneezer Scrooge...no one else should. Voice or not...not. :twitch:

I was going to say that, but you figure he had to be a captain before he made admiral.

Well, if you're going there, then Adama was technically a Commander, not a captain. His SON was a Captain. And if you're going NEW Adama, he ended up an Admiral too.

Sorry, that was a general California "Dude!" expletive expression, not a label aimed at you. ;) I know you're not a dude in the literal sense.

Yeah, but Commander Adama commanded a single ship. Admiral Ackbar commanded a fleet. And Zaphod Beeblebrox didn't have any kind of rank (other than ex-President) but he was just one froody dude who ran a spaceship. So I wasn't really focused on that it had to be a Captain, but more someone who commanded a ship.

The only way this thread could get any dorkier would be if y'all started having these disputes in binary.

Knight68 made me wonder, does Marvin the Martian count as a starship captain?
