Not enough social outcasts in the ensemble and I didn't want to make him the janitor. Boothby gets that role.

She eventually makes it to admiral, so I figure it counts.

Blazin Bev?

Was trying to figure who would be the funnier doctor- Blazin Bev or Voyager’s Doctor…

Interesting choice on Kirk and Picard, but maybe I'm just basic, LOL.

Young Kirk was referred to as "a stack of books with legs" and Picard picked fights with Nausicans in his rebellious stage.

I've no doubt that this is true, but man-oh-man does that feel like something Roddenberry wrote down that Bill Shatner laughed at and threw in the trash.

Fair enough as well, you've sold me. I do wonder if that part of Picard's backstory was a wink-and-nod to how much different mature Picard was, compared to the popular perception of Shatner's Kirk.

The captains are who they are generally perceived to be, because their first officers are the exact opposite.

Picard looks like a nerdy diplomat compared to horndog Riker, and anyone looks like a brash "ready fire aim" kind of person next to a Vulcan.

Sisko knew what he had to do after his trauma from 359. Whether he looks like a level-headed thinker or a gung-ho cowboy depends on what Kira and Quark are up to at the time. (quark kind of acts like a first officer in charge of the merchants at times)

And of course there's the right way, the wrong way, and the Janeway. Chakotay never stood a chance.

Kirk was 34 when he commanded Star Fleet's flag ship; Picard was 59 (Stewart was 47). It's a pretty big age/maturity difference!

Kirk was still a hothead in þe movies, þough, so it's not only age.

When Spock is seen as too rash by Picard, you know they got down to some shenanigans way back when.

Kirk figured out how to beat the Kobayashi Maru.

Picard came up with a risky offensive with the Picard Maneuver. (not the shirt tug)

While Riker's Maneuver involves sitting over a chair.

We are not the same meme.
