 So....


...The whole time then? Sounds like my kind of a drinking game!!

What I don't understand is why people even compare Trek and Star Wars... is it because of the word "Star" in the titles?! I mean, one is classic science fiction, and the other is LOTR in space! So why this war...? It's not even the same niche!

I suppose it's because they're the two biggest 'sci-fi' franchises...even though, as you rightly suggest, Star Wars isn't really sci-fi in the strictest sense.

I love them both though, for different reasons.

I like SW too (the old ones, though), like you said, for different reasons - it's really an epic fantasy ( I like LOTR as well)...

btw, nice to meet you, MrsStarbuck! (Starbuck - Moby Dick, coffee, or Galactica?)

Well TREK  has always been the attention to detail Sci-Fi series, that has a fan following for a reason.

Wars is Sci-fantasy and just because it won an oscar every one feels the need to kiss it's as even though it is sub par in most aspects.

Aw, I wouldn't call it sub-par...it's just totally different.

I also think it's aimed at a different audience. Trek, I'd say, being a bit more complex and involved, is aimed at an older audience...whereas Wars is a kids/family film.

I still can't think of many scenes in films that can beat the feeling you get the first time you hear "that's no moon, it's a space station" or "No, I...am your father".
