8
MORE REASONS!
-
Kirk could whip Picard (or probably anyone)
in a game of Fizzbin.
-
No self-respecting brain would bet his hard-earned
quatloos on Picard as a gladiator.
-
Did Picard ever save the whales? Huh?
-
Kirk can talk any computer into blowing itself
up.
-
Picard never had to fight his own double.
Kirk did it all the time.
-
Picard used the holodeck to pretend to be
a detective. Kirk would use it for babes, babes, babes.
-
Although they both had engineers with funny
accents, Kirk's had better lines ("You canna' change the laws of physics,
Captain!").
-
"Tiberius" is a much cooler middle name than
"Luc".
AND
THE pICARD CAMP RESPONSE:
-
Picard is bald, this makes him more aerodynamic,
causing warp to occur faster.
-
Picard speaks in long, eloquent sentences,
not short, choppy ones.
-
Picard has been a Borg (that alone should
be reason enough).
-
Picard has a robot.
-
Kirk never had to face a "Q".
-
After they stopped making The Next Generation,
Picard didn't host Rescue 911.
-
When Picard wants a mind read, he has Troi
do it. He doesn't need for his 1st officer to touch the person's head.
-
Picard spends more time working on the mission
than on the women involved in the episodes.
In the last episode of The Next Generation,
it was revealed that Picard had married Doctor Crusher and then divorced
her. This would have been kind of messy with Kirk and McCoy....
