It has to be star trek! I can never see how people try to compare to see which is better!

Star trek

TOS around 75 episodes
TNG around 175 episodes
DS9 around 175 episodes
Voy around 175 episodes
Enterprise about 25 so far....

Plus 10 films!


Star wars - 5 films!

See the difference you can't compare them! I rest my case!

I agree with azezil being a bit of a trek head....Star trek ownz, but I reverted to the dark side, I voted for Star Wars....

1 word lightsaber.

Star Wars no contest. 5 *cough* fantastic scifi films.

Taking the films and the series as 2 different entities:

If all the Star Trek films were as good as or close to First Contact it would be much more difficult to call, as it is... 1 great film and a few semi-decent ones.

TNG was a very good series unfortunately they totally went the wrong way with the franchise after that, DS9 was nowhere close to TNG and VOY was nowhere close to DS9. And Enterprise is turning out to be rather shit.

hehe i wonder if i should start a "Star Trek or StarGate" thread, of course Star Trek would blow it out of the water, but its always fun to annoy kaidsy

rite you you've sided against star trek twice now, consider this an offical warning, any more of that carry on and its a purple bubby for you matey

Error

Trek all the way baby yeeaaaahh

Thanx 4 The Fish

Lets just compare the bots for a moment then

Trek - Data can perform hundreds of millions of commands a second.

Wars - C3P0 has trouble with stairs.

Dont be at yourself

Voted Star Wars. Because it is bestest.

If all the Star Trek films were as good as or close to First Contact it would be much more difficult to call, as it is... 1 great film and a few semi-decent ones.

First Contact was far from a great film, not least because they fucking *had to* include ****ty time travel and a touchy-feely Data-has-feelings subplot.

And lets face it, "semi-decent" is being very generous for some of them.

BuffyBot

Have to say I woted Trek

Never could get into or like SW.

Drazhar

I have to say star wars

Lets just compare the bots for a moment then

data: has a sh1t attack at the first sign of emotion

c3p0: has constant sh1t attacks, but still deals with the emotions the way any gay (bent as burnt rasher gay(no ofense)) guy does, arms flay, feels faint, etc

Data: only one of his kind in known Galaxy

C3p0: as advanced if not more, and built by a 10 year old!!

ive got to say, i love both, but Star Wars more so, sheerly because of the amount of crap episodes of ST (all series) Its the few with the big ass space battles that make it at all cool

Star Trek- Bad special effects at the start. poor ratings also.
more scientific than action packed. Gave science fiction a nerdy image

Star Wars-Action Packed. First film to shoot space using blue screen technology. Star trek later followed suit as a result. Action packed proved that science fiction works when made for a certain audience

azezil

There's a lot more to Star Trek than "cool ships, n special effects"... it deals with humanitarian issues, love, racisim, religion, religion vs tech etc. So much more substance than Star Wars.

Enterprise's petty morality issues typify this

well bearing in mind Universal resurected and rushed out the first trek movie to cash in on the popularity of Star Wars ...i am still going to go with trek.

When Trek first went to air in 1967 in some states Black People had only just been given the right to ride on the front of the bus two years previously and here was a show that not only featured blacks and sinoese but also placed them in positions of authority.
Not to mention the furore caused by Kirk and uhurus first inter racial tv screen kiss, popular legend has it that rodenberry had to fight the studio execs all the way to allow the scene to be shown,the story goes that the conservitive minded bosses wanted to change it so uhuru kissed spock rather than kirk as it would be less contreversial since spock was portrayed as an alien whilst kirk was the embodiement of the archetypal all american hero.Rodenberry stuck to his guns though fair play to him.

Tazzle

Star Trek plz.

Winters

Its a strange thing to ask. There totally differant. But STAR WARS!!!!!!!

jamaican

star trek is simply the best with time travel, the borg, klingons and cloking
go away out of it star wars would never match up with star trek if it ever became a series
star wars would never even reach the level of enterainment of the final series of voyager!!!!!!!1
so star trek of course

live long and prosper a lot of women.

Pugsley

Star wars all the way, quality over quantity
(naming 20 half decent star trek episodes, 5 pants films, and 1000 pretty pants episodes.....and then you got 5 superb star wars films {with another 4 to be released})

naughty

Star Wars all the way
trek just sends me to Zzzzzzzzzzzz!

Thanx 4 The Fish

Those other two superb Star Wars films must have passed me right by.

I used to be mad into Star Trek, I've kinda gone off it for a while, although I'm still interested in it. Kaid's moaning about Stargate all the time eventually got to me and I have kinda got into it, /me remembers this thread is not about Stargate. Star War's is evil, never really liked it, I went to the last one because I got in for free and I have to say the only two good bit's were anything to do with Natalie Portman and Yoda jumping all over the place with his light-thingy.

BEAT

I cant believe strar trek is winning??? ik.
Star wars cant be compared to star trek, i mean really.... Star Wars was the best , how can you compare a tv series to a block buster movie. Even the star trek movies didnt come close to competeing with star wars :rolleyes:

My bad, 4 superb films. 1 atrocious one which was still a lot better than most Trek films.

I couldn't vote on either.

They're apples and oranges.

Star Trek is a long ongoing series with various themes and issues and its own background and histories, whilst in Star Wars, we're plopped into a "herioc" battle versus the evil overlords style plot which has near to no depth, despite being fun to watch.
