Star Trek or Star Wars? - Page 2

Star Wars. No contest. Jedi, Lightsabers, Yoda and the number 1 ranking bad father 3 years running, Darth Vader.

Besides, I belive that Wesley is way more annoying than Jar Jar.

I have to go Star Trek. (not including Enterprise) I like how it shows humans striving to overcome their ingrained imperfections and bring peace to the quadrant. Of course, Star Wars aliens are cooler.

Hey, there is no "they both suck big time" option

I prefer Star Wars (original triliogy especially) because its got a certain 'coolness' factor attached to it. Its a good v evil on a galatic scale.

This explains why I think that the Empire would have no trouble taking on any of the Star Trek non-godlike races.

The first three Star Wars movies are pretty good to excellent. Big part of my life as a kid. The latest two movies don't merit mentioning. I've never gotten into the comics or novels.

Star Trek - the original series, hokey as it is, is a classic. The Movies run from excellent (II - Wrath of Khan) to abysmal (V - the Curse of Shatner). ...

I'm with Woundwort, up to the point where he starts liking ST:TNG.

I voted for Trek as well.

I too voted for Trek. Why? Basically I've always felt Star Wars to be a bit.....lack lustre maybe? The ships just have a tin foil feeling to them. And they don't have a bunch of Macgyver-like engineers who, if given a phaser, tricorder or even a comm badge, can get out of the most sticky situations. Also I feel most of the stats on Star Wars ships weren't really researched too deeply, I could be wrong on that count. I've read the ST:TNG tech manual and it feels like they put ALOT of research into it and tried to make it as realistic as possible (if ST could be considered realistic).

I go for Star Wars, i just enjoy it more, well at least the original Trilogy.

I'm still convinced no matter what anyone says Anakin turns to the Dark Side by killing Jar Jar (who wouldn't

)

Although in my opinion both of them are below Babylon 5, Firefly and Stargate SG1

I have to agree with ST being more real(in that sci-fi kinda way). The thecnical manual for the Enterprise-D is awesome! I will get the ST galaxy map some time soon. See where everyone lives.

I do enjoy SW very much(the original of cource!). In fact I prefer to read the SW novels than anyother sci-fi series. To top of the Last SW movie we need to see Jar-Jar die a graphic and nasty looking death. Don't you agree?

Babylon5. Well, its been a long time since I have seen an episode of Bab5. I don't know of any time it is on reruns where I live. I should get back into it with all of the votes that have been posted about it. I am glad that the Last Bab5 show,that one about Rangers, did not go on because it also suck a great many things.

After the poll closes I think the winner should face off with Bab5 and someothers. If you can think of some please let me know!

BTW ST bearly passed SW in my vote.
