See which Star Trek captain you are.

Archer was the captain on the ill-written prequel series "Enterprise" which struggled to last 4 seasons.

I've made it through the series once, and have a few favorite episodes - the rare, well-written ones like "Carbon Creek" and "Similitude".

"Enterprise" tried to fill in some gaps in the Trek universe, and failed miserably at it - such as why some Klingons have smooth foreheads and some are more Worf-like.

In a nutshell, Humanity has 1 functional Warp-5 ship that can't do warp 5 without flying apart. It has no shields, isn't even armed when they start out, and they think they'll just go flying around the local galaxy making new friends. The Vulcans aren't pleased. In fact, the Vulcans are cast as total assholes. They don't even have a good translation matrix to start out, and get into all kinds of fights, etc., over misunderstandings.

Then, to top it all off, one of the crewmen turns out to be a time traveler from the 30th century trying to keep the Timeline right. Where was he when JJ and Nero blew it?!?!

What ensues is the whole series becoming a space opera about time travel, and frankly, not worth bothering with. As the series concluded, the Timeline resets, and the whole show "never happened."

Hmmm, my answer said Malcolm Reynolds. That doesn't seem like the right answer...

I don't think the survey likes me...

I had trouble with a couple questions -- I don't know anything about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles other than that name. I tried to watch that cartoon once but it was a giant "BLAH!" and that's all I know about it. Then there was the one about what would I like to do -- the real answer is sit in the peace and quiet of my yard with a good book and some soft classical music playing.

So I think the survey doesn't like me.

PS -- it did say Picard but I'm not that cold (And Picard lacked compassion, big time lack. Even the Vulcans had a wider emotional range than Picard)... DOn't get me wrong, I've seen Patrick Stewart as MacBeth and he has the chops to act. His MAcBeth is one of the creepiest and scariest MacBeth ever put to screen or stage. But I would have enjoyed him better on Star Trek if he had sawed the air and chewed the scenery. After all, Len Cariou got away with doing just that in Sweeny Todd. Now that was a meaty performance.

Wandering off topic a bit but Dave mentioned "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" .

You ar 6 foot tall have green skin and look like a turtle.

Errrr.. What was the point of the masks???

That was to keep people from knowing who they were in real life. After all, they were once pets and maybe little Billy or Jimmy or Sally wants them back in their cages eating lettuce and bugs again.

It's like Clark Kent's glasses.

Or Batman's hood.

Or Robin's jockstrap.

oh never mind... my thoughts wandered again...

I too seem to be Jean-Luc Picard. Is this a good thing or not?

Your result: Congratulations, you are Captain Jean-Luc Picard!

You may not be as blessed with easy charm and cunning as some other Starfleet Captains we could mention, but this means you've had to sharpen up your other skills, most notably as a tactician and a diplomat. As well as being supremely clever, you have an exceptionally long fuse, which allows you to play the long game in matters of extreme delicacy, even when tempers are becoming frayed all around you. This means you can lead your loyal crew less by instinct and more by a keen understanding of the best way to navigate some extremely strange situations.

I also came out with Jean Luc Picard.

[Wolf-Pup (imported)]

I broke the pattern. I came out Captain Jonathan Archer. That's a character I never heard of, but then I guess I'm not that loyal a Star Trek fan. Maybe my hubby can tell me who that is.

I guess that's why there are different shows for different people. Along with complete sets of TOS and Voyager, I have all four season's of Enterprise on DVD and I enjoy it. IMHO, I thought Deep Space 9 was far worse than Enterprise. Yeah there were a few clunkers in ST-E but a lot more clunkers in ST-DS9. One of the few good ones in DS9 was the time travel back to that "other" deep space station overrun with Tribbles.
