The lame thing about liking ST is that it's emphasizing the lack of direction in my current life and making me feel a distinct absence of career. All these characters are so talented! I hate it.

I guess they had to come up with a logical reason for how Kirk would even qualify to lead anything in the first place, or get entry into the Academy.

(Unlike, say, Picard, going around and quoting Moby Dick oh I love that man.)

WORD. If they said that about Picard, I'd be all "Oh, of course! That's right." Although, ironically, Picard *is* more of a liberal arts guy instead of a physicist. He talks his way out of everything! He knows art and philosophy! He's a diplomat! He probably has beautiful handwriting too, the jerk.

In canon, Kirk was very studius and something of a nerd at the acadamy. For instance, he was always picked on by Finigan for being too serious. There are several references to him spending his time at the acadamy with his nose in a book while the other cadets were out partying.

Kirk was much more technologically savvy than Picard. He always understood what his technical experts were talking about; unlike Picard.

Picard is much more politically savvy than Kirk. Picard was a better diplomat and more of what you'd expect a captain to be.
