Picard is unquestionably the most competent captain, though that isn't necessarily the trait that makes for the most entertaining television.

remember when he almost started a shooting war with the goddamn klingons because they wanted to search the freighter of his booty call? the only reason there was no war is because a klingon backed down and was executed for disobeying orders. then later she turned out to be a maquis smuggler. nobody mentioned it at the time but: oops

Yes, the double-fisted Donkey Kong. As long as your form is flawless and the plot is on your side, you can knock just about anyone the gently caress out: fully armed Klingon warriors, 350 pound space lizard captains, even Kira got it in the shoulder blade once and hit the deck like a clumsy kid's ice cream cone. Brutal.

Fistfighting in Trek was always pretty hilarious. Like, Worf vs Gowron was a cool brawl, but I remember when Bashir and O'Brien got double-crossed by aliens while helping them dispose of their bioweapons, and Bashir just beats the crap out of somebody out of nowhere. Maybe the alien race had air-filled bladders instead of bones. Same goes for everyone who got beat down in an alley by Picard. Did Wesley ever kick anyone's rear end? Or Geordi? Or Troi?

I know right. God, what an idiot. Everyone knows the best thing to do is to submit to an illegal search and seizure by an aggressive military acting as police where they have no authority. Especially if it's in the name of defending against a vaguely defined nebulous threat like turrists shapeshifters.

if you want to argue that nearly starting a war with the klingons was the right call then whatever but at the very least he was too close and should have recused himself from command and put somebody in charge who wasn't loving the smuggler who went on to murder Allstate Obama

She worked for the Maquis, and only got ONE YEAR IN PRISON. Then was allowed to waltz back and get into the pants of the most IMPORTANT person at that time in the that sector.

Let's include off-ship recurring characters too. I'd put Lore just barely underneath Data (identical capabilities, but as a wise man once said, anger is a weapon only to one's opponent), Lwaxana Troi just under Ensign Ro (she's only that high because she can literally read the other person's mind and so would know what they're about to do), and Admiral Nechayev just above Riker (she would gently caress your poo poo UP.)
