But it always seemed they were getting their butts kicked by screwy little second rate aliens. It's hard to picture her going up against the Tholians or Khan or the Doomsday Device (okay... technically, Kirk didn't beat that one, the other captain kamikazied it). Still, she did have Kirk-like qualities and was willing to throw out the rule book every once in awhile. I give her a close second to Kirk.
Still, one has to think how much that series would have been improved if she would have had Kirk's galaxy romping womanizing habits, eh.
Advanced tech or no, she took on unknown species, the Borg, and uncharted territories with no Federation support. Kirk would have fallen on his face one month in and there would have been a mutiny. Picard may, may have had a chance. Janeway made it happen though.
Even Sisko would have been better than Kirk in the same situation. I'll give Kirk the upper hand on Archer, though.
