    Naw. In spite of the huge gaping logic holes throughout and the very questionable dualistic basic ideas I actually dig Star Wars rather more than Trek. Whatever their other faults may be, the first two movies in particular are quality space opera entertainment that have withstood time quite well, especially given they were made in the what, late Seventies or so.

    Trek with its brow-furrow alien races of the week can stuff it far as I'm concerned, although it does get brownie points for having coined concepts like "redshirt" to common parlance.

    Plus Trek doesn't have any character as even remotely campy cool as Vader.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
