James T. Kirk:
-Graduated in the top 4% of his year -was bullied by jocks -Is a history nerd -was so much of a teacherās pet that he cheated on an exam and was commended for it -Was referred to as āa stack of books with legsā
Jean-Luc Picard:
-Spent all his free time drinking in pubs and playing billiards -broke more hearts than he can remember -started a bar fight that ended up in him being stabbed in the heart -likes to explore dangerous ruins of ancient civilizations for fun -wouldnāt even have become a starship captain if he wasnāt this much of a hothead
And yet people still manage to get it backwards???
I think itās a problem of First Officer, really.
Jim Kirk seems like a wild man because heās standing next to calm, logical Spock.*Ā Ā
Meanwhile, Picard seems stately and dignified because heās standing next to WillĀ āAny alien physiology is bangable if you just put some thought into itā Riker*.Ā Ā
* Of course THEN, we get to the next layer, which is that Spock is the dude who told the Vulcan Science Academy to fuck itself, while Riker plays the trombone.
The Federation is a confusing place.
