If you like that about Picard, you’ll probably hate Kirk. Kirk frequently wipes his ass with the Prime Directive. His relationship with Spock frequently boils down to some variation of the following:
I will say that the Kirk/Picard contrast is largely due to who they are paired with on the bridge. As individual characters, Kirk is a giant nerd while Picard is basically Indiana Jones. But their first mates make them seem like the complete opposites…
Kirk is a giant nerd. But he’s paired with the even-tempered and by-the-book Spock, and frequently goes on away missions… So Kirk seems super wild and impulsive in comparison, because Spock is constantly nagging him about the rules. Picard is a dude who goes hiking through alien jungles for fun. But he’s paired with the handsome and impulsive Riker, who tends to go on away missions in Picard’s stead… So Picard looks super calm in comparison. But if you put the two captains together without their first mates, Picard would 100% be the wild one. The only real outlier is that Kirk can’t seem to keep it in his pants, (often during his away missions), while Picard tends to be picky about who he beds.
Oh absolutely, and I'm going into it knowing I'm about to see the opposite of Picard, that's why I see it as a palate cleanser lol. My expectation for Kirk is what if the Riker we see in season 1 was a captain, but less of a feminist. Like, I'm expecting him to be feminist by 60s standards, but Riker is over here being feminist by 90s standards. And that's ok, I love Riker as a character as well.
