Picard is the true explorer and poet (philosophical lens).  
Kirk is the hands-on, get-dirty, grab-life-by-the-horns approach.

Sisqo and Janeway, both wonderful too, but let’s just be honest here, they were  
for “political correctness” purposes only. ST had no choice but had to have at least  
1 captain of color and 1 female captain. Then they made a female of color a captain lol.  
Next, they’ll make a captain who is LGQBT++  
and muslim. They have to and have no choice or else ST brand will be accused of a lot of bad names.
