Unpopular opinion but Janeway is my least fave captain. Burnham or Kirk for me.

What horrible things did Kate do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But that isn’t an unpopular opinion. She’s largely a one-dimensional character. She’s a terrible captain who can’t delegate and has to do everything herself, and somehow never comes unstuck from rash decisions. It’s lazy writing.

Picard is the best diplomat, and the best actual captain, in terms of actually coordinating a crew and putting everyone’s talents to use. Kirk has the tendency to try and do everything himself and make rash decisions, but he regularly gets into trouble as a result and needs the rest of the crew to save his arse. Both of them are written with more depth than Janeway.

Janeway also my least fav tbh. I love captain Archer 😍 he's underrated

Ye ok I haven’t seen to many eps of that one. We are caught up on Strange New Worlds here. Pike seems pretty even keeled, so to speak.

Burnham as captain? I stopped watching Disco too soon, it sounds. I got about two episodes into the season where she was 1,000 years into the future. Loved it up until then, though.
