19. Oh hell, Picard violated the PD too!
If you're a Starship Captain, it's in your DNA to violate the Prime Directive. I don't even know why they bothered to create a Prime Directive.

9. Someone voted for The Delta Quadrant Marauder?
Janeway? Who violated the Prime Directive habitually? Who betrayed the basic principles of the Federation?

The series started with her violating the Prime Directive, and ended with her committing genocide while violating the Temporal Prime Directive and carving a path of destruction the whole time in between.

23. Laconicspouse and I have been watching the entire series through Netflix.
Each disc has at least one episode where Janeway either:

1)Blatantly violates the Prime Directive
2)Intentionally endangers her ship and crew.
3)Says something about upholding Federation principles while violating those very same principles.

Or

4)All of the above.

22. There is Kirk. He stands alone. Let the others contend for second best
Even in his new young brash incarnation he is still The Captain.

27. Commodore Matt Decker (played by TV's beloved William Windom)
Edited on Tue Apr-12-11 09:24 PM by Bucky
Only Decker had the balls to pilot a starship while stoned-to-the-gills drunk off his ass. He looked like that homeless guy you're afraid to give a dollar to and smelled like day old pon-far smegma, but by god he flew that motherfucker straight down the gullet of the disturbingly Freudian doomsday machine. Let's see your precious Captain Kirk top that shit!

(on edit....)

And here is the man himself. Look deep into those eyes, pilgrim. Matthew Decker does not trust you.

28. Archer put a guy in an airlock and
started venting the atmosphere to get some info out of him. Archer means business.

Still...I vote for Kirk.
