    Picard for me and thanks for the book recommendations!

    I left two names and links for the lottery winners that were murdered on yesterday’s post. There’s a lot more names I could have added. It’s crazy how many lottery winners end up dead.

    On a more positive note, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Tough choice, but Kirk was my girlhood (literally) crush. Picard is my mature choice; the sort of boss everyone should have.

    I mean, this is probably the most legendary age old fandom question!

    The answer is of course Picard.

    I think you’ve already announced on X that the winner was Captain Kirk. Good! As it should be!

    Picard. No question. Kirk is cool but Picard is the better leader.
