I've known plenty of Star Trek fans in my life, and for most of them, it seem Next Generation is their favorite Trek series. As an original series fan, they try and correct me by telling me that Next Generation is more serious, more dramatic, and less goofy than the original series, since it doesn't have Kirk womanizing and punching aliens with silly masks and constantly losing his shirt. Well, Next Generation fans, I tell you this -- James T. Kirk never had a barbershop hat and a cane and did a goddamn song and dance routine on the bridge of the Enterprise. So there. (Via Holy Taco)

And this is why bald captains are secretly insidious bastards.

I hated Picard at first - 1st season thought he was a doddering old fart with a stick up his butt.
Then in late year 2/year 3 they rebooted his character to act a little more "captainly".
Still, Janeway was my personal favorite.

Ahh... An old YTMND meme. It's an Internet classic.

It wasn't a reboot. It was character growth.

Even Vaudeville Picard is sexier than Shatner ever was. Yeah, I said it.

The hat-and-cane routine wasn't part of the show. It doesn't count.
Kiri said:
It was a very serious song and dance routine.

@AlexB: I choose to believe he ordered most of the crew off the bridge to record this performance.
Then he sent it to Tomalak.

Which is precisely why he's inferior to Picard.

Are you implying that somehow makes him worse than Kirk?

Happy Birthday, Patrick Stewart.

The song and dance he did with the hat and cane was for Gene Roddenberry's birthday. It was not actually in any episode.
