Cause, I have to a...Is this just about their looks? Cause, I have to admit, and I may be in the minority here, but my least favorite Trek Captain is Kirk both old and new. I never found the original to be anything more than just a pretty boy in a tight suit. Kirk's style of command, if one can call the casual way with which he breezes through the ship, assignments, missions and his role, "commanding", has always struck me as casual and optional. Like he was just hanging out there on the bridge having been bestowed a rank and thus given the opportunity to order people around. he always struck as more appropriate for the role of the entertainment director on the cruise ship than a respectable Starship captain who earned his rank and osiiton via hard work and by making the touch choices. <br /><br />He never struck as someone who had earned his rank or as if he even belonged into a military type of command hierarchy. He just doesnt command respect and the kind of demeanor you expect out of a starfleet captain or anyone in such a top command position. <br /><br />On a personal level I always found him boring and predictable. No mystery, no depth, no complications as a character - no demons he was fighting, nothing you can discern that shaped him into the complicated person we get to meet. <br /><br />Being good looking and fucking a lot chicks can only get you so far and it doesnt make you particularly interesting or enticing of a character I want to know more about. I always found his demeanor mechanical and aloof - I never really felt him as a person who has normal-person characteristics and issues. He is just overrated in my opinion. And now that I am actually writing all this I am not so sure anymore that Chris Pine's portrayal of him as a kind of a creepy lech was so out of place. <br /><br />And yes, where in the hell is Jonathan Archer? Those eyes, that body, his demeanor...my god that man was almost 50 years old making ENT and he never looked better. That scene where Rajin feels him up still is the hottest thing I have ever seen on Star Trek. poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064123327462038174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-65379319121519996092015-01-25T23:32:54.282-06:002015-01-25T23:32:54.282-06:00Gowron.

Part of Trip's appeal is definitely his "aww, shucks, ma'am" attitude. <br /><br />In the end, any ranking of this type is highly subjective. I think it would be interesting to see everyone's top 10, as it would provide fascinating insights into people's personalities.<br /><br />For example, I think a careful analysis by a skilled professional of my list might reveal, if only in a hinting, obscured way, that I am as gay as a picnic basket.

Th...I'm not saying the boys aren't pretty. They just don't produce the same visceral reaction that the list proper does for me. I look at Icheb and say "Oh, he's cute." I look at Tucker, and I'm lost for words.<br /><br />I totally forgot about Hawk. And he was hot. However, not only did he age really badly, he's also another in a line of characters that was "supposed to be gay but vetoed at the last second by an anonymous producer." It would just hurt too much to put him on the list now. Everything he could have been but wasn't and everything he became cancels out everything he was.<br /><br />That being said, he's totally gay in the books and everyone should go read them. Turns out, he was into bears.<br /><br />As far a dance club on the Enterprise, I am totally picturing Picard and Data at the bar, nodding their heads to the side in unison to Haddaway's "What is Love?"Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065121037234785365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-60174278674775375282010-02-11T10:44:27.116-06:002010-02-11T10:44:27.116-06:00First: Let me start by saying that, to no surpris...First: Let me start by saying that, to no surprise I'm sure, all three of your honorable mentions would have made my Top 10. With some Jono in there as well. I'm convinced you created your own honorable mention category just to avoid both some serious scolding from me at home and the inevitable eye exam that would have had to follow.<br /><br />Second: Paris stopped being cute when he stopped being Nick Locarno. (Something about the weird hairline. He has nice eyes though.)<br /><br />Third: I kinda get the whole Picard, Too Sexy For My Tunic, thing. But he should have to win in a more restricted category of some kind. Like Sexiest over 50. Or, Sexiest of the bald people. Or, Sexiest of those who own their own riding saddle.<br /><br />Last: I'm a little disappointed not to see Lt. Hawk on your list. Age might quickly have done bad things to the actor, but he was pretty snazzy looking back then. He made me hope the new Enterprise-E had a decent dance club aboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-56284160138597624072010-02-11T10:28:51.483-06:002010-02-11T10:28:51.483-06:00Tom Paris never did it for me.

I never really liked Harry that much either. The only way either of them seemed hot to me was in contemplating the numerous slashy moments they had on the show.

And he serves as a sort of visual missing link between Trip and Kirk doesn't he? Seriously, line those photos up (Chris Pine, not Shatner... The guy who plays Kirk Sr. looks so much like Pine at first I thought they'd tried to save money by dressing up the same actor.)<br /><br />Watching the old episodes though, definitely surprised by how hot young Shatner was. Even with the weird, control-top captain's uniform he's wearing. And same for classic Spock, though some episodes are more blue-eyeshadow-happy than others.Pending Framinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021268149296624466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400152815785368447.post-20896089729955170742010-02-10T12:39:15.923-06:002010-02-10T12:39:15.923-06:00No Tom Paris?!?

Original Spock (I'm not into Quinto's Spock at all)<br /><br />I haven't thought beyond that, although Icheb might be up there. I didn't watch the show when it aired, so he seems a bit young to me. But he was 22 when the episodes were filed, and in real life, the actor is exactly my age.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447483088054283298noreply@blogger.com
