Star Trek and Star Wars, the epic nerd battle for the ages.
As weird as it sounds I think it says quite a bit about the person in which property they like more.
In my mind the choice is obvious and I think I have an idea who the TNL people I most often agree with will choose.
Well, what say you:
What's better - Star Wars or Star Trek?
Also gives reasons you silly little girly men!
Star Wars, up to Return of the Jedi.
I really like Star Trek though, but only the original (lolfactor) and TNG, and some of the movies. Someone tried to get me into DS9 and just...no.
As an adult I like the OG Star Treks just as much as I like Star Wars. As a kid though, Star Wars, hands down.
All that modern Star Trek junk that started in the 90s can kiss me on the anus.
Borg vs Cylon.
Star Wars isn't even on the radar anymore.
Star Wars, because they shoot each other and have laser swords to settle differences. Also: More interesting visual and aural design work.
What about: Both have overstayed there welcome as the pop culture media of Nerdom?

3rd Answer: Fuck you.
I have a feeling this thread will inspire a Comet 7 strip.
This poll has two choices, there is no room for waffling little pansy "I like both" poll options here.Quote:

go here to see nerds take it to the next level. This guys are sad as fuck.

Space water.
You should turn the lights on next time. I was wondering my my 15 year-old dog was walking funny.Quote:

In all seriousness. Episodes like Chain of Command, Darmok, and The Inner Light just shit all over anything Star Wars has ever done, and pretty much any Science Fiction.
Someone needs to photoshop a picture of the USA and turn it into a spaceship with Hilary at the helm going "LOL PILOT" as it crashes into Jupiter or something
BTW Yoshi, from my friendly authority on this:

ALSO: young, hot as fuck Ashley Judd. And Marina Sirtis. Both better looking than any of the Star Wars broads.
Also in Best of Both Worlds, and some of the large scale stuff in DS9.
That's a fucking good episode, actually.Quote:

Star Wars original trilogy and Star Trek TNG. Everything else sucks.

Star Wars all the way. Only fools think otherwise.
I also like Star Wars better for the broader story, but Star Trek clearly has it's place. I don't see why it has to be I hate this one or I hate that one.Quote:

Star Trek > Star Wars
Picard is reason enough on his own.
Kirk, Spock, Data, Warf, Bones, and Q cement it.
Confirmed.Quote:

See I like Star Wars. Han, Chewie, Vader, and Palpantine shit all over the cookie cutter Star Trek characters.
Except Q, that nigga was awesome.
Jedi were awesome until they invented Midichlorians.
They seriously did their best to ruin the universe with the prequels, you have to completely ignore them.

Well, then it's a good thing the question is "what's the better show" rather than "who's characters can beat up the others".Quote:

PREQUELS DON'T COUNT
FIGHT FAIR.
DON'T MAKE ME BRING UP VOYAGER
Off topic.
In terms of characters, I like Palpantine better than Picard.
Picard acting method: I'll use my deep voice to sound important.
This is true because Cheers sucked ass after like the first season.Quote:

Voyager is ST's answer to Episodes 1 and 2.
It should not be viewed in aggregate.
The best of Star Wars > The best of Star Trek. Period.
Don't forget the Clone Wars cartoon which is about 20 times better than voyager or ds-9.
Until they turned it into a CGI monstrosity.Quote:

How many of the people who voted "Star Trek" use Macs?
Did you know that Mac users are the most smug people in America?
It's been proven with studies. It figures all the faux science in Star Trek would appeal to them.
What the fuck are those gay little fur balls? Tribbles or something? Yeah, Ewoks win.Quote:

As for tech, let's see
7 mile long Star Destroyer vs The enterprise.

But they look rad.
The enterprise breaks down at least 5 times a show, it's loltastic.Quote:

That's exactly why I'm on the Trek side. The characters ruled.Quote:

Death Star vs DS-9 then?Quote:

Ok, maybe Han and Lando, but those are negated by Kirk and Bones. The four of them together could make an awesome show about getting into wacky adventures and impregnating women of all species across time and space.
