In my very and most humble opinion, there will only ever be one Star Trek Captain, and that is Captain James. T Kirk.
Have I watched the other movies and series? A little. But not like I’ve watched the traditional OG Star Trek.
Or what I like to call, the real thing.
Now, there are plenty of people out there who prefer Picard and while they’re completely wrong, that’s totally their choice. Even with my preference of Kirk, I’m not outwardly mean about Picard, although I know some can be. And reading William Shatner’s tweet defending the character is … so Kirk of him.
What’s with all this Picard hate? ??♂️ Isn’t there room in your hearts for both of us? ??

My heart belongs to Kirk.
But I accept Picard to a point.
Does that work?
Yes. Always. I love all of our Captains.

There is room in my heart for Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway! Not Archer though….

You are a kind man, but we are vicious fans.

I don't hate Picard; I just like Riker better.
I don't hate Kirk, either; I just like Spock better.— Nancy L. Rogers (@NancyLRogers1) January 9, 2020
Why not all three?

As long as Kirk is number one.
There is enough love in my heart for all the captains ❤️ pic.twitter.com/67q1C2diEB
