Star Trek Captains, A Review and Categorization
Star Trek is a show about a Neo-military organization that has rank structures, ships, and fights wars, so naturally there's plenty of captains to talk about, but for this post I'll be highlighting specifically the main cast captains, in something resembling chronological order. (But, I mean, this is Star Trek, so even that's kinda up in the air)
Captain Archer
That Guy who had to hand crank the warp engine up-hill both ways in the blinding ion storm. We don't need no stinkin' Prime Directive! Remember The Alamo Pearl Harbor 9/11 Florida! But...uh, maybe don't be dicks about it, not everyone who looks like the ones responsible for that thing we're never going to forget actually wants us dead. Got transformed into an alien, got possessed by another alien, slept with a couple more. Never got pregnant, though (that was his chief engineer)
Scorecard
Ships commanded: 1
Wars started: 0
Wars ended: 3
Times on screen naked: 1
Nazi facilities destroyed: 1
Category: Grampa
Captain Pike
Midlife crisis? What midlife crisis? Everything's fiiiiine. Now eat something, it'll make you feel better. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Number One, don't tell me I can't adopt more kids, I don't care that they're from the future they're mine now. Besides, we've already got a whole ship-full, what's two more?
Scorecard
Ships commanded: 2
Violations of the Temporal Prime Directive: -3 (yes, it's an irrational number, we're talking time travel, people!)
Musical Numbers Participated While On Duty: 3
Hair: Really Great
Category: Dad (or DILF if you swing that way)
Captain Georgiou
You will be captain when you can snatch the stone from my hand.
Scorecard
Ships commanded: 1
Protege's who required a redemption arc: 1
Awesomeness: Transcendent
Category: Gone too soon, also, MILF who can kick your ass
(Edit: Courtesy of @cheer-me-up-scotty for pointing out an oversite on my part)
Captain Burnham
Cosplays as a Vulcan 'cause she's jealous of her adoptive brother. Accurately called an audience-stand-in-self-insert-mary-sue (shut up, Star Trek fandom invented the Mary Sue, it was a term coined by women fans, so shut up!), but by season 2 she actually gets interesting.
Scorecard
Mommy Issues: Has a subscription
Moms: 4
PTSD inducing life events: Like, all of them
Ships commanded: 3
Mutinies led failed: 1
Category: That One Cousin who married surprisingly well and made something of herself in spite of all expectations
Captain Kirk
Golden retriever energy, would be the Useless Bisexual Himbo if he didn't have so much game. Probably smarter than he lets on. Polyamory King and certified Alien Fucker. Boyfriend is a half-space-elf, main sometimes-girlfriend will go on to create the deadliest super-weapon ever built by humans by accident.
Scorecard
Number of Klingon Bounties on his head: [CLASSIFIED]
Number of women he's slept with: [CLASSIFIED]
Nazi regimes toppled: 1
Number of times he should have had a test that determines if you can stick your dick in it that got named after an upstart from that other science fiction show instead: 1
Ships Commanded: 3
Ships He's Stolen: 3
Category: Slut(affectionate)
Captain Kirk (the other one)
Golden Retriever that got left behind when his family moved away and had to lead a ragtag team of a crotchety older dog and a wet cat on a journey...
No, wait, hold on...
Right! That's the one!
Scorecard
Times he should have been kicked out of Starfleet: At least 4
Ships commanded: 3
Ground transport destroyed: 2 (that we know of)
Number of middle fingers given to Admiralty: 2
Category: Bad Boy
Captain Picard
You know that guy who you see going to the library all the time and always seems to have his nose in a book and always seems to be telling people off for breaking the rules and doing dangerous shit? You'd never know it but he used to be That Guy in college who got, like, ALL the girls and is going to be the Hot Grampa that you don't know how he has that much game, but he got it.
Scorecard
Ships lost in the line of duty: 2
Number of times he married and then estranged his best friend's wife who named their son after her dead first husband: 1
Number of toxic omnipotent and omniscient boyfriends who are obsessed with him and spends their spare time playing with ponies: 1
Category: Inexplicable Sexyman
Captain Badass Sisko
The Cool Dad with baggage. He's got game, but he's got priorities as well, and DON'T mess with his son or you won't even exist anymore to regret it. BLM before it was cool. Led a civil rights riot two centuries before he was born. Space Jesus who can make the best jambalaya you've ever had. Fought and won a war, punched a god, then became one.
Scorecard
Civilizations saved: 4
Native Cultures Treated With the Respect They Deserve: Many
Times He Bent the Rules so his CMO could get some nookie from a Cardasian spy plain, simple tailor: The counter broke
Successful black-ops assassinations completed: 1
Category: BAMF
Captain Janeway
THE single most decorated captain in Starfleet history. Successfully dropped the hammer on dozens of petty tyrants, oppressive regimes, roaming mass murderers, and the Borg. What Prime Directive? Your Mom. Also, probably slept with your mom, that's how much she is the Domme-est of Dommes. She told the Borg to use the safe word...and they DID!
Scorecard
Borg Daughters: 1
Times she told the Borg to step off: 3 (or 4...or 5? Honestly, with the time travel shenanigans it's hard to know for sure)
Nazis she's personally shot: 1
Category: Mistress, but it's "Ma'am" to you
Captain Freeman
She's angry AND disappointed! She's just as good as all the other captains in the fleet, and the good ones know it, but all the rest? They see "cali class" and assume all they're good for is the jobs nobody else wants. But jokes on them, because thanks to that attitude her crew are the flippin' Jacks and Jills of all trades and are more capable of fixing AND fucking AND "fucking" shit up than damn near anyone else!
Scorecard
Times the ship has nearly been destroyed but she and her crew got through it: ...uh...how many episodes are there? And then there's the times that get casual mentions that we never get the details on!
Daughters who should probably be captains now if they were at least a LITTLE more respectful and didn't actively try to piss off Admirals: 1
Times the Cerritos has had to be rebuilt to the point it might as well be called "The Ship of Cerritos Problem": At least 4
Category: Your mom...get back here, I'M NOT DONE TALKING TO YOU!
Captain R'El
Cinnamon Roll, just let m'boy into Starfleet! He just wants a home and a family! I'd like to see full-grown captains who can keep up with half of what this Best Boy is capable of!
Scorecard
Number of species his genetic code is made up of: All of 'em. Even the GODDAMN Q!
Number of Janeways he impressed the socks off of: 2
Quality of his Janeway impression: Bad
Number of Ferengi he out-Ferengi'd: 1
Nazis punched: Give him time...
Category: Teenage Boy Who's NOT GOING THROUGH A PHASE, MOM!
Should I do Captains Shaw and Seven? How about Alternate Timeline Tripp or Future Chakotay? (Going too far down that rabbit hole will eventually lead to Imperial Kirk and Captain Spock from the movies.) Let me know in the comments.

I had some extra time and rewatched part of 'Supernova Part 2' and this scene still gets me every time
His character growth in this season has been incredible, and his speech here shows that

This is her introduction to a group of child slaves while possessing the body of the one made from spare parts at the genetic engineering store. Maybe she just nonchalantly mentions this every time she meets someone new.
——————————————
Borg Queen: Resistance is futile
Janeway: The swamp can't stop me and neither can you
——————————————
Admiral Paris: Welcome back, Captain!
Janeway: Good to be home, hey listen, how excited are you about grandkids?

i’m always thinking about how dal never knew his parents and the only mother figure he had sold him into slavery as a child and then it turns out he never even had parents, he was just a failed experiment. and then his next mother figure is simply a hologram of a famous admiral who then deceives him before ‘dying’. but the real janeway cares for him so much, and defends and advocates for him in court and wants him to join her crew
#this is not anti holo janeway btw i love her it’s just. as soon as they gain a parent they immediately lose her#sometimes i think about how they modified holo janeway so they could hug her. someone get these kids some parental figures STAT#just. dal having to sleep in the engine and literally being SOLD INTO SLAVERY#after never knowing who he even was#feeling so worthless his entire life#yet finally finding his purpose among his crew on the protostar#and being taken under THE admiral janeways wing#he justtttt. does such a good job at being captain#he cares for his crew so much#bc he knows what it’s like to be forgotten and cast aside!! they all do!!#and cares for them and protects them and just loves them more than anything in the world#and he’s no longer a failed experiment but a confident leader! who’s not alone anymore!#ohhhhh i love him#star trek#star trek prodigy#dal r'el

30 Days of Prodigy, day 4: Coffee
Or: 5 times Dal R'El tasted coffee
The first time Dal R’El tasted coffee, it was an accident. During his brief stint as Admiral Janeway, her ship’s doctor had ordered him to drink it and he tried to keep his cool, he really did. But the stuff was disgusting - even more disgusting than anything they used to pass off as food on Tars Lamora. So he spit it out, all over the bridge of the USS Dauntless.
***
The second time Dal tasted coffee was definitely not his fault. He was just settling back into his own body when he caught the taste of something familiar…
“Ok,” he demanded between gulps of replicated root beer, “who let her drink coffee in my body?”
“She said it helps her think,” Gwyn offered with a shrug.
“What’s so bad about it? Our Janeway drinks it all the time!” Rok-Tahk chimed in.
“It’s awful - it tastes like sour rotten vegetables and I am banning it from this ship!”
“Yes, Captain,” Zero said in a tone that made it clear they would be rolling their eyes, if they had any.
***
The third time Dal tasted coffee, he did so in secret. He kept thinking about how Admiral Janeway said it helped her think, and how her doctor had ordered him to drink it, and how even Hologram Janeway often had a cup in her hand. He began to wonder if all good captains drink coffee and if so, he’d better learn to like it.
And maybe if he was prepared for it, it wouldn’t be so bad.
So he waited until the rest of the crew was asleep and then he snuck into the mess hall. He ordered a coffee from the replicator, pinched his nose shut, and took a tentative sip.
Nope. Still disgusting he thought as he finished wiping up the coffee he had reflexively spat all over the bulkhead.
***
The fourth time, Dal had become determined to conquer his vile enemy. He had never been one to give up and he wouldn’t start now!
The next night, he snuck to the mess hall again. His mantra, as he approached the replicator, was “Real Captains don’t spit out their coffee. Real Captains don’t spit out their coffee.”
Dal spit out his coffee.
Feeling defeated, he sunk into the nearest chair and covered his face with his hands. How would his crew ever respect him if he couldn’t do something as simple as swallowing a sip of coffee?
“I thought that stuff was banned on this ship.”
“Janeway!” Dal exclaimed as he jumped to his feet and began fumbling for an answer. “I, uh, I didn’t - I thought -“
“I just want to be a good captain,” he wailed. “And all good captains drink coffee! Admiral Janeway, you, even Captain Chakotay has a mug in that holo-recording!” He hurled himself back into the chair and flung his head down on the nearest table. Though his arms covered his face, it was clear that he was trying very hard not to cry.
Janeway studied her young captain for a moment and decided not to correct this assumption when he was so distressed. Instead she chose a different tactic.
“Chakotay always ruined his coffee with too much cream and sugar,” she said with an amused shake of her head.
Dal looked up at her, suddenly hopeful. “You mean, I’m allowed to add stuff??”
***
The fifth time Dal tasted coffee, it was loaded up with milk, sugar, and even chocolate syrup. It was a pale tan color, rather than the deep dark brown he was accustomed to and it smelled of sweetness, with only a faint hint of sour vegetables - and only if you knew to look for it.
This time, Dal did not spit out the coffee.
Maybe, he thought, I might be a good captain after all.

Rok Tahk is the science officer do to her extensive research that she did all by herself while stuck in a time anomaly. She is a naturally brave and curious girl. Her knowledge spans many fields, and she is always exited to learn more.
Although Zero would also have made an excellent science officer, they chose instead to learn medicine. This reflects Zero’s innate desire to help people heal, despite the fact that their true appearance can cause harm. Perhaps they are trying to repent, constantly plagued by all the people they had harmed before.
Jankom Pog is the chief engineer. He has a natural talent for tinkering, and he’s always ready to pull something apart just to put it back together again. He seems rough and tough, and he is, but despite his argumentative attitude he has a heart of latinum.
Gwyn is the communications officer not only because she knows so many languages, but because she knows how to talk to people. Her father taught her language so that she could turn people against each other, but she can use her skills to unite.
Dal is captain

30 Days Of Prodigy, Day 15: Favorite Screenshot
I have a LOT of favorite screenshots, but This is the shot that really gets me.
It's been strongly established from the first episodes that Dal is known to survive anything, by sheer force of hope, ingenuity, and determination.
But it's clear here that losing Gwyn would be the one thing that just breaks him.
The raw emotion from him reminds me of when Benjamin Sisko lost Jennifer at Wolf 359. That's how much Dal loves Gwyn.

More Captain Nog dreams, this time he showed up in an episode of Prodigy and was on parenting duty while holo-Janeway took a break. Jake was also there for emotional support, but it mainly focused on Nog interacting with the kids.
Dal wouldn’t stop calling him Pops, this culminated in a “you remind me of myself when I was your age” kind of speech.
Nog, Jankom, and Zero were being adorable nerds about engineering and stuff.
Gwyn vaguely scared him in a Teenagers by MCR kind of way. Although to be fair all of them did to some extent.
I keep hearing the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” audio on tiktok and it wormed its way in and Jake was crying when Rok said ‘kind’ and Nog was barely holding it together. They now have an adopted rock daughter.
Also self pep talk with space dog Murf.
TLDR; the idea of Nog on parenting duty in Prodigy has me in the feels.

Not who is the best or most responsible Captain. Under which command would you feel the safest because you know " Person would sacrifice everything they can ( Not meaning the ship or so) to get me back home"?
( Sadly can't add every Captain ( due to Limit) so please don't ask " where is Captain xy"
