Star Wars Star Trek

[ReverseLunge]

I find Star Trek to be much much better than Star Wars. Better story, better action, better acting and more intelligent.

Depends on wether the new Star Wars movies count or not. Assuming they do I'm all for Star Trek then. What better way to spend the night than watching a hologram tell the latest captain that the borg attack left the ship's "Flux accelerator hyper ion plasma charger drive" broken.

Gotta love Kirk

This reminds me. When Gene Rodenbury (TOS creator) was asked "How do the inertial dampers work?" he replied with, "Very well, thank you." Have at 'em, Scotty!

Where's the neither option? or the both option?

[xcr]

Both can entertain.... There is much more of star trek, and it would be harder to mantain good stories for so long, yet star wars latest hae been mediocre (not that star trek has been better, but as I said, they have produced more...

I'm voting for quality not quantity.

Besides, the Star Wars prequels may have sucked but Star Trek has had some bad movies and episodes under it's belt.

I mean seriously, what was up with Star Trek 5?

the last 2 star wars movies sucked, but the first three were great. the last 2 wouldn't have been so bad, either, except the stakes were too low (hooray, let's fight non-living things for better trade agreements!) and they tried to explain too much (i felt something inside me die when they explained away the mystical force as just some little bacteria things). and they barely introduce the bad guys before killing them off. result was zero drama. the buzz is the next one will be better, but i'm not holding my breath.

star trek was more of an exploration of human interactions, with strongly one-dimensional characters each representing a different kind of personality. it wasn't so bad. but neither was it that great.

so i guess i'm voting for battlestar galactica.

Yeah...

Luckily it's spelled Nemesis

Trek 5 was great! [russian accent] Excuse me, can you direct me to your nuclear wessle? [/russian accent], "Don't mind him. He did to much LDS in the 60's" (even better when you realize LDS == mormons). Ah, good times.

[xcr]

That was 4
5 was the one where they went looking for god

[telkanuru]

Oh, right. That one *was* an LSD trip.

[Elemental]

Yeah...

D'oh!!

[dunastor]

Unfortunately it's very hard to discriminate between deliberate errors in spelling and accidental ones....

[ReverseLunge]

No wonder this place sucks sometimes. More Democrats than Republicans and more Star Wars people than Star Trek.

Star Trek is intelligent and educational. Star Wars is basically just a western set in space with a lot of energy with no brains.

Well, if you want to stomp out, never to return, no one will begrudge you.....

Star Wars by far.

Star Trek's alright, and The Wrath of Khan rocked. Action, Acting, thought provoking, and the great dialogue...
("KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN!")

But, the TV show was campy, and TNG always had a Deus Ex Machina ending. It was just poor writing.

Without fail 5 minutes left, they come up with some random yet risky scheme to solve their problems.

"Oh no! We're stuck in an alternate universe time nebula with no escape! What are we going to do?"

"Wait I have an idea, if we reverse the power of the dilithium crystals we may be able to generate enough power to slingshot around the sun and escape the nebula back to our own universe! It's a long shot, but worth a try."

"Long shot!?! Hell it worked last week!"

Are you kidding me? you think TNG sucks? What about Picard? Picard kicks a$$!!!

[achilleus]

Aside from the lazy writing Picard and his peaked head are alright.

But so much other stuff about TNG sucks. For example:

Wesley
Riker
Troy
Jordi
No Kirk
No Khan
No Vulcan Death Grip
Etc...
