Ok, I decided to make this poll extremely difficult by making you choose only ONE from the list but that's what makes it fun isn't it? smile

Who from this list do you think was the most capable, admirable and charistmatic sci-fi commander/leader/captain?

Greatest sci-fi leader/commander/captain
single choice
Votes accepted starting: 04/28/12 12:09 AM
You must vote before you can view the results of this poll.

Sheridan would send the rest of them STRAIGHT TO HELL. Like everyone else. LOL
Plus he did die for the cause and all. And came back.
Picard a close second before a long drop to the rest of them. Janeway wasn't bad either considering the circumstances that crew dealt with on their own.


edit:
Crap, we both forgot about the Angriest Angel. He'd be up there too for your criteria.

Some good names there, but I'm old school and had to go with Kirk. He just always seemed to do the right thing for the right reasons, and was almost always successful. Of course we're critiquing the writing more than the character, but I think Kirk was a more admirable personality for me. Sisko is a close second, and probably only lost out to Kirk from me because I grew up with Kirk smile.

Wish I could have picked two of then so that I could've included the EJO Adama, but since I could only pick one, I had to go with Jack O'Neill.

Yeah, yeah, those two are great and I knew I was going to get ribbed for not having a completely comprehensive list but I only had time to type down 15. smile

Kirk also died for the cause and all. Kirk wins hands down.

So many great sci-fi shows were killed off after only one season. frown

Space Above & Beyond, Firefly, Caprica, Crusade etc.

I voted for Picard. Still my favourite.
Been watching last week Battlestar Galactica (EJO version) and W. Adama would be my second choice.
