The famous phaser blast from the E-Ds torp tube?

Here is a list of Kirk's worst command decisions.


Not raising the shields in WoK

Exploring the Murasaki 312 Quasar instead of delivering medical supplies to Makus III.

Stranding Khan in the first place at Ceti Alpha V

His actions at Iotia.

Arming the natives of Tyree's planet to 'maintain the balance of power'.

Taking over the Enterprise during TMP instead of leaving the more-familiar Decker in charge.

ignoring the warning buoy in "Spectre of the Gun".

Now Picard's.

Anyway, the list:

Being complacent in genocide by refusing a cure after he promised he would give it to them after finding it.

Revealing the existence of the P'Jem Vulcan listening post to the Andorians. Archer betrayed Earth's greatest - ONLY - allies to enemies who had invaded Vulcan territory,

Taking an untried ship and crew, whose weapons systems were not working, to take a Klingon home, into Klingon space.....

sending out Shuttlepod 1 without a way to contact them.

making a non Starfleet officer (T'Pol) his first officer.

And after this one, you can do a 'worst decision of all time' by using the winners of all the polls. Six polls for the price of five!

Excellent work Striker. I'm looking forward to seeing how these polls stack up when they go up on the main site.

I'm desperately hoping the Murasaki 312 incident at least finishes second for Kirk. IMHO... even stupider than WoK.

EDIT:

And thank you, Seafort.

Heh......that's five weeks worth of polls right there

Technically six, as the Kennedy's can run a final 'worst of' poll at the end.

or double that as we could do a worst and best decision.

That's not a half bad idea.

Are we happy with Strikers lists? I can put the polls on the system now but we already have 20 more queued up to go on so it will be a little while before they come up.

That is a good idea, Ian. I hope my lists are good, too.

His lists pretty much comprise everyone's gripes with the captains.
