Star Trek or Star Wars?

[David E. Gervais]

I voted for Star Wars. You must understand, I was 17 when I saw the original and it absolutely blew me away. One thing that I really liked about SW was that the ships/weapons/planets etc all had that 'used/lived-in' feel. ST has always had pristeen ships and looked just a tad too squeeky clean to be believable. Oh, and the Falcon, it's still my favorite ship of all time. She is one of the strongest character's in the movies. Just as important as r2 and 3PO.

Also, ST was/is/and will always be primarily made for TV media. SW was/is in the realm of Motion Pictures. TV is nice, but a good movie beats TV hands down all the time.

But Thankfully this is real life, I don't really have to choose, I can have my cake and eat it too. Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, B5, Farscape, Andromeda, Earth: Final Conflict, etc.

Oh, and Books,.. there are hundreds if not thousands of great Science Fiction books that have not found their way to TV or Movies, but that does not make them in any way less deserving. All in all, I think we are very lucky to be living in these 'interesting' times. Yes indeed, this is a great time, Live long and prosper my friends.

Cheers!

I voted Star Wars, nothing can undo the damage that Voyager did to me, nothing... Well Jar Jar and the Chemistry between Padme and Anikin came close.

Both have their conns, both have their pros,

In the end the SW pro's outweigh even DS9 (my favourite ST series). Many of the books in SW are crummy, but not on the level of ST's book franchise. I still come back to Zahn's work on the SW book franchise... great stuff, better movie material than ep 1 and 2 have generated. Just the overall dynamic of the thing...

Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, Slavers, ALliances, Planets Divided etc Star Trek almost seems black and white in comparison. Not to say Trek is bad, its just went for a 7 year slide with Voyager and when/if I figure out where Enterprise is going we'll see if we have to tak on another 5

ST Movies vs SW Movies? No question there, no ST movie comes close to the original triology.

Was your dads name Red and your girl friends name Donna at the time?

Just something to think about. Every 13 seconds a Star Trek book is sold.

VOYAGER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! True not the best series but it has some great shows under its belt. And I happen to like Janeway. I really am not a fan of 7 of 9 because I dislike the reasons the producers brought her into the show. I don't watch ST to see women in skin thight outfits. I watch for better things. Although, 7 of 9 did bring some nice stories to the front. And again... VOYAGER RULES!!!!

I like Star Trek the Next Generation the best out of all the different Star Trek series, and my favorite captain is Picard.

Yeah, I don't find 7 of 9 very attractive either. My favorite female characters from Star Trek are:
#1. Kes #2. Jadzia Dax #3. Tasha Yar
