    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.

    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.

    GAH!!! You cannot compare them. It would be like comparing the Empire in Warhammer to Gondor in LOTR and Humans in Warcraft.

    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.

    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.

    Well, if we were just talking about the first three Star Wars movies then they would clearly win. The fourth (Episode one) movie however, sucked so bad you would have thought they blew the airlocks. There was some improvement in the following movies but not enough IMO. This brought the level down so much I think they are close to being equal.
    "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
    -- John Stewart Mills

    But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

    You have to remember that the original three are old and were almost worshipped when they came out. They always seemed good to me until the new ones came out. 5 and 6 are still pretty cool though.

    Although Star Wars is great, Star Trek is better.

    More soul. More human condition. More hot women. More macho bed 'em & leave 'em real men like Captain Kirk. (Hans Solo is a woos compared to Kirk.)

    Star Trek is everyman.

    I know, but there is going to be series and it will be terrible.

    Though it is hard to imagine something worse than "Enterprise" with all its heresy and mirroring real life events and time travel all the time. I swear Capt. Archer is the 11th Doctor.
