I reject this question entirely! With the exception of Archer, each captain is the one the ship and series needs.

(Okay, the crew of Discovery definitely didn't need Lorca, but the narrative did.)

(Scott Bakula did his best and deserved better. So did Archer's crew. So did the fans.)

I will say that I've been having a lot of Picard feelings lately, which is partially thanks to the ST:JLP trailer and partially a reaction against the Flanderisation of Picard that I see among DS9 fans on Tumblr.

(The man faked his death and went undercover as a space pirate after he stumbled across an archeology scam. He is definitely not a stuffed shirt unable to cope with informal or complicated situations!)

I know I'm in the minority, but I liked "Enterprise" and Bakula. He was eminently watchable and enjoyable.

Huh! Aside from the usual "first season's a little rocky" and a certain "Archer Is The Chosen One (according to the writers)," I was overall sold on his performance. (To the extent that one of the episodes, what I was going, "Dude, this is gonna be SO cheesy"... worked out for me. Of course, it was full of Vulcans, and they are eye-candy, one and all, and T'Pol's actress is good, even if they did throw in "let's objectify the Vulcan gal" crud whenever they were having a downturn in the ratings. O:p )

Of course, I am fully an unreliable narrator on that matter, and may have low standards to boot, so... O:>

There is definitely a gap in understanding between TNG and DS9 fans on tumblr. And yet I was thrown by the strength of the reaction when I said on Twitter a few months back that TNG and Picard were probably my least favorite show and captain--not bad, just least favorite! (I do not reliably acknowledge the existence of ENT.)
