LeGOATski Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Never understood this debate. They're both so different. If you're a sci-fi fan, you likely are fond of both, even if you're too cool to admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 This happened about 15 years ago. Just as I was about to start a class, a student asked me, "Star Wars or Star Trek?" I said I like both, but had to give the slight nod to Trek, because it paved the way for Star Wars. He respectfully disagreed and we left it at that. Then, at the end of class when I asked if there were any questions, he inquired, "Kirk or Picard?" Without hesitation, I responded, "Picard." He paused and then said, "Alright. You're cool." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That episode has grown on me as I have gotten into middle age. Not for the women but for the message that men need a partner as much as they need a sex object. Marianna Hill for hottest female guest star (Dr Noel from "Dagger of the Mind.") Yes to Hoshi especially mirror Hoshi. The Orion girl looks darn close to a girl I knew in college but the years difference makes that impossible. 2 hours ago, WhoTom said: I'm a Storm Trooper but when I tried to vote, I missed the button.

Shatner’s delivery as Kirk giving Spock’s eulogy (Spoiler ?: Spock dies in Star Trek II) is a Trek classic—how he barely gets the word “human” out is Oscar worthy—lol ?.

Nextmanup Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 When I was a kid, I used to enjoy the original Star Trek re-runs, but even then, always knew they were kind of hokey and produced on a small budget, or so they looked. Could never quite take them seriously. I never was able to get into any of the re-runs later in life either; like I haven't even watched them. But Star Wars? Star Wars came out when I was 6 and it was a completely mind blowing phenomenon. I was completely absorbed with it and thought it was the absolute coolest thing I had ever seen. Ironically, Star Trek was done on a much higher intellectual level, and I think there's much more raw substance there in the Star Trek shows, but Star Wars is still #1 in my heart.

eball Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I like both with the following caveats: Star Trek -- only the original characters (TV series, movies, reboots). Never got into TNG or the other spinoffs. Hated that "Data" character and thought calling the first mate "Number One" was stupid. Also couldn't stand the "Q" villain. Dude with the headband (Jordy?) was ok though. Star Wars -- skip episodes 1 and 2 (the 4th and 5th movies). Otherwise, excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read Star Trek books and comics but not read any Star Wars ones except for movie adaptations. Same with games. I played several Star Trek games but never any Star Wars games. Maybe it is because as kid I watched season 1 & 2 on TV when it first came out but when it was moved to 10 PM my mother refused to let me stay up and watch it. I also got a letter (written not typed) from Gene Roddenberry between seasons 1 and 2 thanking me for an idea and said he will pass it on to writers. I will say that though a Star Wars movie affected me in a way a Star Trek movie never did. I watched Star Wars V at movie theater in college and ran after it back to campus I had so much energy. Never was much of a runner too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
