Star Wars vs Star Trek

[Marcellus]

Well? Which do you prefer?

[Kagemusha]

Star Wars is better.What the world would be without Darth Vader.

[Mikeus Caesar]

I'm a trekky for life!! Nothing like watching Star Trek. Much better than Star Wars. Star Wars is too unrealistic for me...

there was already a discussion about this topic fairly recently in the Frontroom

unfortunately the search function appears to be fubared hence i can not link ot it

Star Wars will always be better. It has soul.

[Don Corleone]

Are you crazy, BKS? That's what I LIKE about Star Trek, the people are real people. They actually develop plots and show motivation. Star Wars has all the dramatic depth of an Italian opera... everyone is the nicest, the meanest, the strongest, the weakest, the smartest, etc. People hop from being loyal and subservient to amibitious and power mad at the flick of a switch. Then back again! Besides, Klingons kick ass.

I pretty much agree with that, Star Trek looks like a possible future and I love science fiction somewhat based on reality. As for Star Wars I `ve never really seen it, though I hope to do so in not too long.

[tibilicus]

As I have mentioned before Starwars. Never really likd Star Trek.

[lars573]

I like them both equally. But Start wars geeks give me the urge to end their lives in the most painful way I can think of.

Star Trek is the best

ps proper polls must include the Gah! option

Gah! Sorry, I completely forgot!

I don't suppose there's a way to add it?

I'll add Gah! to any other polls I make.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I really haven't watched any Trek on TV, but I've seen 2 of the movies, I think II and IV. The one with Spock dying and the one with the whales. The whale one was so preachy...


On the other hand, I'm a devoted Star Wars fan.

And BKS, that site is right on. Actually, I've seen it (or something very similar) in school. The best part was battling it out with the Trekkies. And of course leads to the "numerical advantages" whining and what not. Quite fun.

[Craterus]

And Star Trek is realistic? LOL.

I was gonna say that. But someone said they could imagine it as a future. I can't, and also, if you can imagine that, why not Star Wars? They're both as far-fetched as each other.

[King of Atlantis]

Star Wars owns....

[Big_John]

imo enterprise was still better than voyager..

as to the poll, it's hard to say. after watching episode 3 of star wars, i went back and re-watched eps 4-6 for the first time in quite a while. it was strange, they are not nearly as good as i remember. especially episode 4.. wow. i mean, even for the time it was made, the dialogue is uneven at best (laughable at worst). the acting is nothing to get excited about. obviously, the special effects really suffer after all these years. but that leads to a secondary problem for people watching the first movies after seeing the new ones. the poor (in comparison) special effects actually destroy the sense of emersion to a degree.

things really pick up with empire, but it's not dissimilar to the difference between st:tos and st:tng. i used to strongly believe star wars was superior. now, i'm on the fence. star trek is better when at it's best (i.e. later seasons of tng, wrath of khan, first contact), but when you factor in voyager and enterprise, and, let's be honest, tos.. it's too close to call!!!

i shouldn't get stressed out over things like this...

One of the good things Enterprise did was explain why Klingons don't have ridges in TOS. The real reason was budget, TOS had a very low budget. Browned skin and Fu-Manchu moustaches were about all they could afford. The reason Enterprise cooked up was a virus spawned from a sick Klingon who was given a genetic cocktail made from human augment DNA. It mutated with the virus and made a plauge that was killing millions of Klingons. With Dr. Floxes help they found a cure. But it left anyone infected with no ridges.

They did not need to do that episode.

The 30th century federation and star fleet were fighting a time cold war with other people whom that moron Berman never revealed. The way they were talking they wanted to have the temporal cold war be a back drop for the whole series. Kind of like Voyager being stuck in the delta quadrant. The problem is that it was poorly executed. That and Scott Bakula should have never been any where near a star fleet unifrom.

I think they where Romulans.

What happened to the Xindi?

[Mikeus Caesar]

I think they where Romulans.

No, they were someone called the Sphere Builders, who threatened to destroy all life in the Alpha Quadrant by making it more hospitable for their needs. And if this is correct, then dear god, i've become a geek!

[The_Doctor]

I did not watch most of the series, so I don't really know what is going on.

[lars573]

They did not need to do that episode.

Yes they did it was one of the better episodes of Enterprise. Right up there with through the mirror darkly and the augments.

I think they where Romulans.

If anyone were Romulans it was the guys controlling the Suleban

What happened to the Xindi?

They made friends with Archer and crew and nothing more was said. Except that in the 26th century they are part of the federation.

[The_Doctor]

If anyone were Romulans it was the guys controlling the Suleban

That is what I ment.

[Roark]

I dig 'em both, but I'd prefer to watch a marathon of Star Trek than Star Wars. I find that I "care" more about the characters too, for lack of a better word...
