Oh, I don’t know about that.

Star Wars was exciting when it came out but it really doesn’t seem as potentially ‘real’ as Star Trek, especially now that there is a new series of movies coming out, the alternate reality Star Trek, which does seem to be entertaining.

'Where do they go to, Klingon? It just sounds like a laundry detergent.'

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I'd still like to point out that if I were a Star Wars backer I'd avoid calling attention to silly names... just sayin'.

STAR TREK (The TV show)was so bad you can tell it was made on the cheap!

I was only able to set through one full show about a machine that ate planets. The others were terrible!

STAR WARS was much better but too many people have become way too enamored with it. I could not set through the later 1990s versions as they were so awful.

A handful of the original ST series episodes were good TV, that’s all. The original Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back were excellent and original takes on old SF cliches.

But it’s all garbage—fun, but garbage, while these two go on like it’s Shakespeare. Star Wars is relentlessly childish, Star Trek relentlessly PC and pretentious.

Neither is good SF. Neither takes any chances.

They both suck.

I never hear Star Wars dialog quoted for occasions as if it were Proverbs.

It wouldn’t be logical.

Hey Carrie: “City on the Edge of Forever”. ‘Nuff said.

Well, except, “Edith Keeler must die.”

Both Star Wars an Star Trek were tainted a bit by leftism, but Star Trek much more than Star Wars. At least in Star Wars, the good guys are fighting for a republic, and against tyranny. In Star Trek, the “good guys” are basically the USSR of space, and the closest thing to capitalists are the Ferengi, which are painted as petty, amoral, greedy hucksters.

Back in the day, the first couple Star Wars were the only movies I ever stood in line for. After those and especially with the recent chapters, blah, can’t be bothered to watch them on tv.

With Star Trek, much like The Three Stooges, must require a certain mind set to appreciate. One is too ridiculous to watch, the other is too moronic to watch.
