Picard's Liam Shaw is the latest in a long line of commanding officers who didn't receive the memo about being the best of the best.
James Tiberius Kirk was the original benchmark for all Starfleet captains. Throughout the USS Enterprise's original five-year mission, he could be relied upon to fight injustice, make tough calls under pressure, and take a torn shirt in his stride.
If they're the best of the best, however, they raise an uncomfortable truth about Starfleet – in order for them to appear exceptional, other commanding officers must be average or even downright awful. The Enterprise didn't run into many other Starfleet vessels in the original series, so the most notable commanding officer guest star was Commodore Matt Decker in 'The Doomsday Machine.' Decker's actions undoubtedly put the Enterprise in danger, but seeing as he was suffering from shock after losing his entire crew, his obsession with destroying the so-called planet killer probably owed more to severe mental trauma than any unsuitability for the role.
Despite breaking enough rules to get himself thrown out of Starfleet – it would take the audacious, time-travelling rescue of a pair of humpback whales to save his career – Kirk remained the most capable CO in the movie by some distance. The USS Excelsior's Captain Styles, for example, oozed arrogance and entitlement as he sat on the bridge brandishing a swagger stick, utterly convinced of his prototype ship's technological superiority.
