Janeway vs. Picard
One word: hair
More hair than all previous Star Trek commanding officers combined!
Drinks coffee, not that sissy "Earl Grey" stuff.
Beams down to the planet like real Captains should.
Mutes the doctor when the doctor gets out of line.
Hasn't let an adolescent pilot the Federation flagship -- yet.
Voyager requires a woman as Captain. The ship needs a Captain willing to admit they're lost and pull over for directions.
Picard likes to talk his way through. Janeway likes to punch her way through.
Hasn't quote Shakespeare -- yet.
Looks better in sleepwear.
Janeway gives guilt trips that would make a Jewish mother proud.
Isn't French with an English accent.
Smart enough to have a Vulcan officer.
Will give you two days off to ponder your life-shattering experience.
Janeway says "I don't like you!" to her enemies instead of trying to convince them to behave better.
Janeway has a First Officer with a tattoo.
She doesn't have any pesky Federation Admirals to get in her way.
Three words: Compression Phaser Rifles.
Acknowledges freely when she breaks the Prime Directive instead of trying to weasel her way out of it with philosophical ramblings.
13 episodes and still hasn't surrendered the ship.
13 episodes and Wesley still hasn't saved the ship.
Janeway's holo programs create useful things like doctors and lungs.
Picard's holodecks create maniacal evil geniuses who yet again take over the ship.
Janeway doesn't need to straighten her uniform every time she stands.
Picard: Three words: Stretch velour jumpers
Janeway: Three words: Form fitting uniform
Janeway has never worn green tights and frolicked about in Sherwood Forest. However, if she did, she would look fantastic!
Kirk looked good in ripped shirts; Picard looked good without a shirt; Janeway would look incredible... no, they can't do that on network television.
Doesn't force her crew to wear stupid outfits, unless it is to blend in with a primitive planet.
She is smart enough not to waste time learning foreign languages.
All lifeforms in the Delta Quadrant speak perfect English.
Her engineer does not wear a banana clip over her eyes.
Slouches in her chair even in critical life-threatening moments.
Doesn't have a Counselor on board (thank God!).
Her telepath only lives nine years.
Her Chief Medical Officer will NEVER command the ship. (*whew* "Cathexis" was a close one!)
Janeway heard the words "boldly go where no man (er, woman) has gone before" and took them to the extreme.
Picard tells alien cultures, "I hope our two cultures will one day come to a greater understanding." Janeway threatens them with "the deadliest of force".
Janeway's Security Chief would never grow a ponytail.
The high point of Enterprise cuisine were scrambled eggs that only Worf could stomach.
Janeway doesn't have to point which way to go when they set off.
Maintains an elaborate hairdo that would baffle even Princess Leia.
Has mastered facial expression understood by all to mean, "Boy, Paris, are YOU ever stupid."
Hugs her Vulcan from time to time.
She doesn't have a starship that splits in half when it's in a tight spot.
Has a dog and a significant other, not some damn fish!
Kes. Troi. No contest.
Neelix. Replicator. Ok, this one's debatable.
At least she doesn't have to yell "Hot!" at her cook every time she wants something to drink.
Janeway's ship has neat-looking folding warp nacelles.
Janeway's CONN officer actually went through the Academy.
Janeway's first officer has a hallucinogenic device.
To help her relax, Janeway's first officer helps her contact her spirit guide. Picard's first officer helps him get... to Risa.
Obviously.
