If I can’t have Dr. Strangepork, I guess I’ll have to go with Hogthrob. ---

Young Kirk or Old Kirk? Ahh, hell, who am I kidding? I don’t care. Young or old, Kirk’s my guy. ---

No love for Brannigan? (BTW, I misspelled his name in the thread title.) ---

Yeah, I’m going to have to go with a write in for Picard. ---

Branigan by a mile. He’s the only one who knows the most sensuous part of a woman is the boobies. ---

Kif. Totally. If it has to be a ship’s captain (or space station commander), then Sisko wins, followed by Picard, then Kirk. Zap . . . well, Zap disgusts me. Perhaps that’s why I love Kif so much. ---

I’m surprised that Hogthrob isn’t getting more votes. I thought women loved a manly cleft chin. ---

According to Janice’s tell-all autobiography, Hogthrob’s tail wasn’t the only curly appendage he had! I don’t really see how Picard or Kif fit in here: the connection between the three characters are that they’re bold, brash, seductive space ship commanders, with large jaws and too-tight uniforms. ---

Picard’s uniform was too tight! If I have to pick one of the three, I’ll go with Zapp Brannigan. He has a heart shaped bed. ---
