Presenting the National Post’s Tournament of Star Trek Captains!
From Kirk’s conundrum with Khan to Picard’s battles with the Borg, from Janeway’s brainbusting dilemmas with a holographic doctor to Sisko standing sentry with a Changeling on Deep Space Nine, the captains of Star Trek have provided some of the most iconic moments in sci-fi history over almost 50 years of TV series and films. But what if you had to pick just one? In our positively Q-esque quest to discover which Trek boss is No. 1 to no one (sorry, Riker, you need not apply here), we’ve devised a battle royal of sorts, a Captains Crunch, if you will. Over the next three days, join us and vote for your favourites across three rounds as we pick the one true Boss of the Bridge in honour of the release of Star Trek Into Darkness on Wednesday evening.
