Oh it's sad.
They are all missing the point.
It's a shame that when they both appeared in the same film Kirk died before Picard got to say 'KIRK, go to your room!'
JLP has wisdom and education. Kirk had a torn shirt and a blurred focus. Then he got fat and had a wig.
No wigs for JLP!
I'm an HR guy, and I wouldn't hire Kirk to do a paper round in case he got in a fight with the KHAN!s at number 42.
I would employ Picard as ambassador to the galaxy though.

But Riker won't get anywhere until he learns to stand up straight. If I were Picard I would tell him to stop slouching. It's bad for your Klingons...

Good night, and may acting ensign Wesley Crusher be with you.

 

He slouches because he's so much taller than Picard...doesn't want to show the Captain up for being a shorty.

 

Ha very funny stuff there Trip and not much I can add except Kirk boldly went where no man had been before but JLP followed him, so one man had been there and done it already

 

Picard 'boldly went and sorted the mess out' after Kirk had been there. Can you imagine how much more difficult it is conducting diplomatic negotiations with and alien culture who still remember Kirk thumping their grandads?

 

At least Picards blind Chief Engineer didn't whinge like a bitch if he was asked to do more than change a fuse

Kirk was a crap recruiter..

But, the miniskirts mean Kirk wins, Damn..

 

I missed the episode where he wore one.
