Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
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.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
Perhaps soul was the wrong word...I just find Star Trek far too sterile. Star Wars has grand adventure, princesses, Lightsabers, incredibly evil villains, the lot, and a far more epic sweep. I get a feeling watching it that I just don't get from Star Trek.

No way man. A Klingon 'Sword of Khaless' class dreadnought & a captain that knows how to pilot her and every imperial cruiser would be up in smoke. Darthy would be toast in a 1-on-1 battle with just about any Klingon out there.

This site has everything you could ever want to know about this issue, in truly remarkably anal detail.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
Yeah, but they're comparing an Imperial Star Destroyer, which I believe is a ship of the line for the Empire, to a Galaxy class heavy cruiser, which, while impressive, doesn't have the firepower of a dreadknought.
I actually never thought about that, but when you compare the sheer size of the Trade Federation, the Republic and the Empire to the UFP, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan empire & the Cardassian (oh what do they call their space...) you get my point. Star Trek all takes place in one quadrant, and star wars is thousands of times bigger, I'll grant you that.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
I love both.
Star Wars for pure fun and escapism - and for returning back to childhood were simple heroes and dark knights ruled the world
Star Trek for excellent stories and round characters
Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
Star Wars is for the masses.
Star Trek is for a (relatively) small elite core of nerds.
Which is why Star Trek is better.
Also you cannot compare ships from Wars to Trek. Wars ships use lasers, which have been laughed at on Trek.
Some of that website is very wrong.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
I'm not sure I follow you Martinus. Are you saying lasers wouldn't work in space? Because I hate to break to you, they do indeed. What dou think the US missile defense system is all about.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
I did not say that. On one episode of TNG they come up against a ship with lasers and treated it with contempt.I'm not sure I follow you Martinus. Are you saying lasers wouldn't work in space? Because I hate to break to you, they do indeed. What dou think the US missile defense system is all about.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
Star Wars is best IMO, never liked Star Trek. If i should see a series, then I prefer Babylon 5 because it has a better and more realistic story than Star Trek.
Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
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.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
As I have mentioned before Starwars. Never really likd Star Trek.

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.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
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.
Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
GAH!!! You cannot compare them. It would be like comparing the Empire in Warhammer to Gondor in LOTR and Humans in Warcraft.And BKS, that site is right on.

Or even better. The Orcs from WH40K can beat the Orcs from WH, who can beat the Orcs from LOTR, who can beat the Orcs from Warcraft.

Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
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.
Re: Star Wars vs Star Trek
Star Wars owns....

Wait until the TV series. LOLStar Wars owns....
