Neither. Benjamin Sisko. He created a fabrication to bring the Romulans into the Dominion War and in the process employed a former member of the Obsidian Order, killed a criminal, lied to a head of state, and killed the same head of state. And he knocked Q on his ass. Neither Picard nor Kirk had enough balls to do any of that.

Good points.

Thanks!

Deep Space Nine was the best Trek, hands down. And we also learn that Bajorans and Cardassians are the same species. It's never directly pointed out but they can have babies without medical help.

Actually, many of the Alpha/Beta quadrant races are derived from the same genetic ancestors, including Humans, Romulans/Vulcans, Klingons, and Cardassians.

Check out the TNG episode "The Chase". Season 7 I think.... Maybe 6.

Agreed!

Best Captain: Sisko

Best Series: DS9

So who's your favorite character and why is it Garak?

I've been considering this for many years now. Over the years I've tried to come up with a series of convincing and logical points to present when confronted by naysayers, who in their ignorance, have denied the obvious. Alas, after years of painstaking research and analysis I've determined that the most concise and accurate answer to this all-important question is this:

Because Garak is friggin' awesome.

Yeah, but he was kind of just a "luck of the draw" sort of captain. He was able to observe a stable wormhole for years. He became a religious figure to the Bajorans on accident. He had a deep state Cardassian working in his tailoring shop. He had a Changling as his security chief...that would be equivalent to Picard having a Q on board. No other Starfleet Captain had that luck or those resources.

Watch the last season. It was neither luck nor accidental. He was half alien - wormhole alien, to be specific.

I never actually watched the last season. I was binging it a while ago and lost steam part way through S06 when Jake and Nog were on that ship run only by elite cadets. I tried watching that episode 3 times and ultimately gave up and never finished the series. It's a stupid reason, I know. I'll watch S7 if I ever activate my Netflix account again.
