Captain James Tiberius Kirk is the most celebrated Starship Captain in Starfleet. While boldly going where no one has gone before he save countless lives, stopped the Klingons and Romulans multiple times, single handedly defeated a Gorn Captain by building a canon from scratch, and was even considered a god by one specific alien race.
He's also the master of confusing and defeating logical robots and machines. All you have to do is read poetry and dance around a little bit. Why didn't they ever think of that in BSG? Kirk risked his life to save his friend Spock more than once, and went to a Kingon penal colony to preserve some manner of galactic peace. He twice defeated an enhanced human by the name of Khan, and helped another enhanced human named Charlie discover what it means to be human.
He traveled through time to save the Earth from a whale seeking probe, and brought his crew back to protect Earth from a super intelligent machine race lead by V-Ger. He gave up true love in order to set history right, and made sure that those tribbles would be no trouble at all. He also get more alien action than Jack Harkness could ever hope for, and that's really saying something.
Say what you want about Kirk, and how he ranks among other Captains, but we all must agree that he was one hell of a hero.
