Star Trek, particularly The Next Generation. I could live in that univers, easily.

Here's the thing. You can like Star Wars (like I do) and not geek out about it (again, like me.) Almost every single person that I've seen who likes Star Trek is a total nerd.

I actually like Star Wars. Star Trek just is too cheesy for me. Mediocre acting, lame plots, it doesn't seem that they put any effort into making the special effects good, and to me Star Wars just seems a little more believable.

So, yeah, I'm going to say Star Wars.



I hope I didn't brain my damage!

Can someone explain to me why it's perfectly legal to put up instructions for building an atomic bomb on the Internet, but it's a federal offence to post a way to get around copy protection on CDs?

Whoa. Wars has better acting than Trek?? are you kidding me? Lucas had money to hire Neeson, McGuinness, Portman and the most venerable Samuel L. Jackson, but really, could you really say that their acting were GOOD? they are not bad actors, but Star Wars made them so. On the other hand, Trek has presented the strongest performances ever seen on tv, WITH tv budget. On being questioned about the significance of his role compared to his distinguished Shakespearean career, Patrick Stewart has said:
"One day, out of irritation, I said, you know all of those years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, all those years of playing kings and princes and speaking blank verse, and bestriding the landscape of England was nothing but a preparation for sitting in the captain's chair of the Enterprise."

And not just him. With the exception of Kirk's laughable cheese and Archer's mediocreness; Nimoy, Robert Picardo, Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks, Jeri Ryan and many others have delivered the most exemplary actings ever seen on tv.

I would gladly yield ground to Star Wars on special effects, sounds, costumes, and creature designs. That's it. Star Wars has no depth. Even the once-promising Force has been reduced to "midi-chlorians".

But by the way, Firefly was way better than both of them. And the new Battlestar Galactica is even better.

@Finalday:

You could live in the Star Trek world? I can see why:

Personly starwars was good but the last three films ruined it(1,2,3), the third reley ruined the 'force' and the hole universe is set like now, corruption.

StarTrek is better because 1, a relistic universe, the federation etc. It has better moral goals(in tv they have bad moral goals and the pops moral goals go down, funny that!!). And the technology all can be explained thruogh science(challange me if you dare!!!) .

In reference to the Sory lines, if you watched a few episodes I bet you would not gess the plot(or rescue how etc) untill the end in general.

The only regretable thing about startrek is that the extremly low budjet, I dont like TOS that much because of the limated graphics, slowness etc.

The New Star Trek Is Not StarTrek It Is A Soap Oprea.

I like Trek way better than Wars, But I think I like Babylon 5 better than either of them....



DONT KILL ME!

hmm...so the idea of this all-powerful tele-kenetic,tele-pathic force that is made up of these miniscule little things (can't remember the name) is more believable that Warp Drive/phasers/photon torpedos etc?hmm...nah

ST all the way for me....and yes i do have a slightly nerdy knowledge of ST...but Trekkie (if he's still around here) has a even greater knowledge

(\__/)
(='.'=) This is Bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your
(" )_(" ) signature to help him gain world domination.

I like both.

DONT KILL ME EITHER!

Star Wars is way more entertaining than Star Trek

star wars is _not_ scifi, its scifantasy - very important difference.thats why midichlorions were such a stab in the back, because they were trying to legitimize the force instead of letting it remain vaguely supernatural;and that put SW in the 'scifi' category where it can't possibly compete against more grounded fare like trek, even with a boatload of effects and CG. it also showed that lucas&wife were far too separated from whatever star wars had been in their imagination previously

Star wars by far. Even if the last 3 movies were bad. They are still better then star trek will ever be.

It's all about the Star Trek. Q man, it's all about Q!!
