Kirk was around back when men were men, and TV was watchable. Piccard didn't show up until computer special effects were established through Star Wars.
Kirk had to carry a show with a three inch model on a string, and crinkly cellophane as an alien monster.
Piccard looked at a blank stage, thrust his arm out and said "engage", knowing 3/4 of the show were going to be filled in by annimation.com
And, Janice Rand was definitely hot. (Her and Joey Heatherton) OK, I go back that far...sue me.
Advantage, Kirk.
