Oh, in that case it's definitely Zapp.

"Why is this godforsaken hell-hole worth dying for?"
"Don't ask me, you're the ones who'll be dying for it!"

"Men, you're lucky men. Soon, you'll all be fighting for your planet. Many of you will be dying for your planet. A few of you will be put through a fine mesh screen for your planet. They will be the luckiest of all."

"It was almost the perfect crime, but you forgot the one thing: rock crushes scissors..... but paper covers rock. And scissors cuts paper. Kif, we have a conundrum. Search them for paper. And bring me a rock. "

I'll second Kirk - we can't have a vote on the best CO without Jim Kirk. :)

I'll nominate Cmdr/Capt Sisko. I've already seconded Adama but I'll divide my loyalties :)

For me, they're too close to call... Actually all of the candidates are too close for me to vote, except maybe Zapp Brannigan because I don't watch Futurama enoough

Since we've opened this, apparently, to any sci-fi, I have to say that I'm shocked by your omission, Sionnach. Namely, one Colonel-commissar Ibram Gaunt.

:picard:

How did I completely forget 40K?

Well, I'll certainly second Gaunt.

I'll also throw in a mention for Commisar Cain. He's a good guy at heart, even if he tries to deny it. :wink:
