21. Your sister... had a one night stand with Darth Vader and still thinks he is going to call her back.

Have to go with Kirk, of course, but I still like Picard.

Picard started out as kind of a French version of Kirk until he was stabbed in the back through his heart in a bar fight with some Nausicaans who had cheated one of his friends back when they were in Star Fleet.

Guess that and the artificial heart made him a more thoughtful version of Kirk and I respect that.

But between Picard and all of the many timeline versions of Kirk, my favorite Enterprise captain is the first Enterprise's captain, Captain Archer.

As it is now, I just wish they would leave the classics alone and tell new stories with new people, instead.

But no, they have to alter the timeline so they can tell it all again... only "better!".

Just no respect. That's what's wrong with Hollywood today, man. They have no respect.

I have to go with James Tiberius Kirk on this...

Picard is so.... French... or something.

Kirk.

(I’m old; barely even watched anything past the original series.)

It’s Kirk and it’s no contest. Personally, I never made it through an entire episode of TNG. Maybe it also had to do with them bringing on Whoopie Goldberg.

I always thought the Saurian brandy bottle was a prop. It looks so "futuristic"

But it's a real whiskey bottle from the George Dickel distillery.

O/T, but I wondered why Bones kept it locked up in sick bay.
