A Question for the Ages: Wars or Trek?

[freyar]

Had to vote for Trek, but it was tough! I think the deciding factor is that the wife and I watch our TNG DVDs on a regular basis, essentially just rotating through the entire series (a few times so far).

Before the new movies, the answer was Star Wars.

And I didn't hate the new movies. I just didn't like them as much as I wanted to, and they kind of took some of the magic away from the originals.

So, now it's switched to Trek, which never changed in my view from being a solidly good universe, including Enterprise and Voyager.

Star Wars or Star Trek?

Hmmm, tough question. But, since I have to choose, I'll choose ...

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!

Love 'em both, but I had to go with Trek. Something about the trinity of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy just really resonated with me growing up. And still does, really. So, live long and prosper, I say.

This was a no-brainer until George Lucas pooped on my childhood.

Without KotOR and SWSE, Trek would have been a no-brainer. Those brough it back to even, and the latest movie gives a slight edge to Trek. Wars is better for gaming, though.

Too true, but at least it was only CGI poop.

Star Wars

I always felt the Star Wars plots affected the universe and had long term effects. It mattered whom won and how they won.

Star Trek

Exploration sounds good but if seemed to never effect anything (especially the TV series) so lacked the importance Star Wars had. ST:NG kind a bit past that but not like Styar Wars did.
