         CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK
1st Place May 09 If you could put awesome into a human body, it would be him. He is the only human that has ever defeated a Klingon with his bare hands! He outsmarted Khan! He was on a show that not many people watched, and made 6 movies from that show! If that is not awesome, I do not know what is.

Epic awesomeness - The Shat as Alexander (pre-Star Trek): http://io9.com/5413427/captain-kirk-and-batman-team-up-in-ancient-greece
reply
I suppose Kirk has finally got to believe in the no-win scenario. Damn it Jim!
reply
Wow, looks like the CaptainOff has brought out the Kirk hate...
reply
I think that fact that Kirk's been a nominee for 3 consecutive contests, spanning more than 3 months, means many are getting weary of JTK.
reply
agreed, I love Kirk, but I'm ready to move on. Too many times a bride's maid. I think Picard appears to be the new Kirk. ;-)
reply
Having been a fan and follower of this sport since 2004, I can say without any reservation that it is the most exciting, hard hitting, and awesome sport to watch. It's got something for just about everyone: amazing action, speed, hitting, strategy, beautiful women of all shapes and sizes, and it's totally DIY - almost universally skater owned and operated! Roller derby is the sporting incarnation of awesome itself!
reply
Uhura would have been an awesome Roller Derbyist.
reply
hell yes!! roller derby is life!
reply
im proud to give captain kirk my 1,000th Vote
reply
I think you were the fastest ever to reach Staff-Sergeant! Nice work!
reply
I endorse James T. Kirk as the greatest nominee ever to grace Awesomeoff.
James T. Kirk is the patron saint of Awesome. reply
I'm going to second that. Perhaps, Jim should be the Awesome poster child.
I like the patron saint idea. I need a little plastic dashboard Kirk for my car. Or perhaps a medallion for my neck.
reply
I think our captain rank, when we get there should definitely be 'Kirk'
reply
Without question.
reply
The generation that is spoiled by multi-million dollar special effect movies, like myself, does not seem to find Kirk who flew around in a carboard ship in front of a piece of paper to be so awesome
reply
Well, I am from the generation that is spoiled by those special effect movies, and let me tell you, Kirk makes that cardboard ship in front of paper look a million times better than all those special effects. Kirk has what most movies are lacking: Awesome!
reply
Well said. Look, there's even a poster: http://echosphere.net/star_trek_insp/insp_captkirk.jpg
reply
wurd danczykial.
reply
He is The Kirk. The Creator.
reply
new star trek movie is soo great! jj abrams did a great job.. didnt expect anything else from the co creator of Lost
reply
Yeah, I saw both Trek and Wolverine... Star Trek was waaayyy better. My teenage kids loved it too, and they've never even seen an episode of Star Trek
reply
As a huge Star Trek geek and purist, and a hater of JJ Abrams, I fully expected to hate it... Somehow, I loved it!
reply
Yeah, that movie was saucy.
reply
do you mind if i ask why you hate JJ Abrams?
reply
Lost is the most ridiculous show on TV, Cloverfield was an over-hyped waste of time and money, and I don't find the viral websites and videos cute whatsoever. I think he's the most over-hyped creative mind in Hollywood, and I was truly terrified he would single-handedly destroy the Star Trek franchise. Traditionally, Star Trek hasn't been about hype and flash, which is what the new film seems to be mostly about, but it's well put together, well written, well acted, and it has very few downsides. (most notably, Eric Bana's portrayal of the villain, Nero.... wretched.)
All in all, I was very pleased with Star Trek, despite my own fearful misgivings.
reply
So i guess your not much of a Lost Fan? i Never Saw Cloverfield, but Lost is an absolutely Amazing show
reply
My biggest beef with Lost is that they never answer any questions. they set up all these crazy mysteries, and never solve any of them. I watched two seasons of Lost and gave up. you gotta tie some things up every once in a while.
But I think we can all agree that Lost has given us one thing that's truly Awesome: Evangeline Lilly. My gods she's ridiculously hot.
reply
lol agreed... The 2nd season did drag and thats when alot of people stopped watching. But Lost has a awesome community and a bunch of different great podcasts. You should try and give it a 2nd chance
reply
You stopped too soon!
reply
You can tell they were very respectful of the Star Trek mythos. The trouble with prequels is how to make it exciting when we know the history already; it's very clever that they changed the timeline so that now we no longer can be sure what will happen next- but it's still close enough that they haven't lost any of the important history that would anger the fans. Well done.
reply
...And, by changing the time-line, they took away our right to bitch about not being true to the existing story lines.
reply
Ahh! Touche, komrade! I just still can't believe that was Eric Bana as Nero!
reply
If you are beginning to doubt Captain James T. Kirk's awesomeness, please go see the new Star Trek movie.
reply
Rollerderby is here to stay!
reply
Roller Derby is the most awesomest of the awesome! I play this wpnderful sport and love everyday of it!
