Could Kirk have saved Earth in the Xindi War


I binge-watched the 3rd season of Enterprise, and seemed Archer had the perfect combination of tenacity and compassion to pull of what he did to save earth. I don't think Kirk could've done it. He's overly assertive and aggressive and would've pissed off the Xindi even more.

Opinions?

Yeah, Kirk would've sucked. This mission NEEDED Archer.

I agree.

reply

Easily. Kirk was a much better commander than Archer. He just needed better special effects.

reply

SFX. Now why didn't I think of that.

reply

It all depends on what some writer decides.

Kirk would punch out each and every Xindi male (all 5 living races), seduce every Xindi woman, and then make an impassioned plea to the baldheads from another dimension about how wrong it is to alter space in this universe to make it compatible for them. Once he utters the line "THINK...about what you'redoing! Can't you SEEEEEE...the sufferingyou'vecaused!" The Baldies would reconsider their plans and stay in their weirdo dimension.
