Adama.

Kirk and Picard aren't really military commanders in the way we think of military commanders.

Mace all the way. Always thought it was cool watching Sam Jackson lead some troops into battle.

Commander Shepard. He's possibly one of the few officers in the Alliance who is competent.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

None are worthy enough to be compared to him!

His actor(Patrick Stewart) was even knighted by the Queen!

I actually couldn't refrain from choosing Picard. Even if I wanted to pick someone else, my thumb went straight to the best thing that ever happened to star trek.

fixed more so that marketing is now going 50/50 between the two. :P



I was always a fan of Palleon personally, he learned from Thrawn in alot of major ways, but actually had a heart

and though I hate her, you have to respect Dala, the bitch just never stayed dead, and even took over as head of the Alliance

Captain Picard would object to being labeled a military commander.

I know Picard isn't technically a military commander, but he does have a Starfleet military manoeuvre named after him.

And he's the BEST EVER.

I agree, Picard was not a military commander, but an explorer.

My favorite is Thrawn hands down. Other than that, it would be a difficult choice. I like Adama as I think he made some very hard but logical choices that counterbalanced Roslin's more idealistic choices. Most of the time, I sided with him in disputes.

What I liked about Adama and Roslin was that they were both right in their own respective arenas. Roslin was generally right about politics, and Adama was generally right about the military. When they tried to do things in the other's arena, things tended to not go very well.

Picard wins all polls by simply being awesome. Military commander or not.

...MAKE IT SO!

Wasn't Picard considered a military officer? That's like saying Nimitz wasn't a military commander.

Picard was awesome, I don't know who adama, sinclair or kirk is. Not the original Kirk but '09

The Federation is a peacekeeping force.

Not a military force.

Unless Kirk was in command, then it was an intergalactic gigolo service that delivers.
