Poll: Star Wars or Star trek?

[pilouuuu]

I loved, loved, loved Star Wars, but right now I gotta say Star Trek.

The classic SW trilogy were almost perfect movies for me, but Lucas ruined that with the new prequels.

In the other hand, I've been watching all Star Trek Next Generation episodes for the first time and having an amazing time with all the great sci-fi stories.

So, while I think SW has a great universe and the original movies have great characters and stories and ST has lower quality movies, on a whole Star Trek is a much better franchise with a better quality/quantity ratio.

I like them both though XD

I liked DS9 as well, and I thought Captain Sheridan was an awesome Captain

Is that a joke? I mean, Sisko and Sheridan did share a lot in common.

I'm intrigued how the Trekkies in this thread are willing to explain why they liked the shows compared to how most of the Star Wars fans just say "I loved the movies."

Just sayin'.

Star Trek. Star wars may span a whole galaxy, but it's pretty empty compared to Star Trek.

I'll pick Star Wars every time, but I can recognize that Star Trek is a hell of a lot more consistent.

At least, I think it is.

Shit, I meant Sisko, and I have no idea why I typed Sheridan.

Also, the Star Trek movies were awesome except for a bad bunch like Nemesis and that one movie where they found God, I cant remember the name of it now.

Star Wars is cool, but I think's way over hyped.

There was something I read a while back in regards to plagiarism of Babylon 5 and DS9. I don't remember the details, but DS9 did launch after Bab5 was pitched, so it was entirely possible that Sisko and Sheridan were technically the same person.

And yeah, Final Frontier is the second worst moment in Star Trek. The episode in Voyager titled "Threshold" wins worst award ever hands down.

Star Trek, by the absolute slightest of margins. I suppose I've just spent more time with Star Trek than I have with Star Wars, that and the fact that I thought ST: TNG was such a fantastic series.

Trek > Wars.

Ive always seen Wars as the kindergarten version of sci fi. Trek would be more educated/refined.

On the whole Ive seen the trek franchise to be much much more entertaining... or it was until Abrahms got ahold of the series and basically tried to shoehorn it into a starwars like set of tropes.

Apparently I am not the only one who thinks so.

God... Abrahms reign cant end quick enough.

I made this thread like 3 years ago. Search bar!!!!!!!!!

Star Trek for shows and movies and Star Wars for video games. STO is such a piece of shit that I almost got sick to my stomac. Although the force unleashed 2 is really bad as well...

Best of Both Worlds, The Inner Light, and whichever one has the four lights are three Star Trek TNG episodes that equal the original trilogy of Star Wars. Just those three, and then you have the rest of that series and all the others, not including Enterprise.

Star Wars but I guess people draw comparisons between the two due to their extremely similar names... that's about where the similarities end.

Well, and the part where they both have futuristic tech and spaceships flying around blowing eachother up and such.

That's implied by the "Star" part of their names. Star Wars was set "a long time ago...", not very futuristic now is it?

Them being implied by the name doesn't change the fact that they similar on those points. And your second point doesn't make any sense. "Futuristic" by definition can apply to things from any timeframe, as it's describing appearance, not place in a time line. As in "has the look of something from the future", not "from the future". Actual timeline is irrelevant, technological appearance relative to our own stuff is what matters.
