53 Reasons Why Janeway Is Better Then Picard
  1. One word: hair
  2. More hair than all previous Star Trek commanding officers combined!

  5. Mutes the doctor when the doctor gets out of line.
  6. Hasn't let an adolescent pilot the Federation flagship -- yet.
  7. Voyager requires a woman as Captain. The ship needs a Captain willing to admit they're lost and pull over for directions.
  8. Picard likes to talk his way through. Janeway likes to punch her way through.

  21. 13 episodes and Wesley still hasn't saved the ship.
  22. Janeway's holo programs create useful things like doctors and lungs.
  23. Picard's holodecks create maniacal evil geniuses who yet again take over the ship.
  24. Janeway doesn't need to straighten her uniform every time she stands.
  25. Picard: Three words: Stretch velour jumpers
  26. Janeway: Three words: Form fitting uniform
  27. Janeway has never worn green tights and frolicked about in Sherwood Forest. However, if she did, she would look fantastic!

  36. Her Chief Medical Officer will NEVER command the ship. (*whew* "Cathexis" was a close one!)
  37. Janeway heard the words "boldly go where no man (er, woman) has gone before" and took them to the extreme.
