The OP has failed to bring to light yet another Star that deserves at least a honorable mention "STAR GATE" best possible Modern Day adventure series.

I have always been much more into ST than SW, although seeing the first SW movies on the big screen was WAY more jaw-dropping than seeing ST on a 13" color TV at home.
Star Wars = "The Force, The 'dark side', etc.."
Star Trek = " No special "powahs", more balls, time travel, more chicks, green chicks....
Star Trek = WIN

i did go there but. a galaxy is a series of stars and planets and not simply a STAR. now if it was called STAR quest it would have a title to join the likes ofOh hell no - if we're going there let's get serious.... GALAXY QUEST!!!!
Star wars,Star trek,Star gate... they all have some WIN in them but i was reminded Green chicks... ok ST wins
Star gate is only good because of the action - the plot is sometimes out there and the actors don't seem to take their roles seriously, especially that Macgyver dude.
I like star trek voyager best .....and although unfortunately I didn't get to see many episodes I really liked stargate atlantis.
I never took to star wars at all.

i can agree with that so far the new universe series looks interesting but i am with holding judgment looks to be more about the who and less about the why and how.
Edit: they Each have Win for one reason or other.
Star Wars Nice Fight Scenes
Star Gate Cool FX
Star Trek as i was reminded Orinon Slave Girls (green Chicks)
Star Trek voyegor - 7 of nine
Star trek new series - Tabal and other hotties
heck Star Trek series win most have some hottie here or there.

The original Star Wars movies were great. The newer three were mediocre at best, with some "WTF???" moments tossed in. There is only so much that really good actors can do with a script like that and George Lucas running the show.
Star Trek was awesome. But ST had a couple of movies that fell into the "WTF???" category, as well. But any movie that can turn Ricardo Montalban into a badass is automatically epic.

Probably the best Trek film of all. Although Voyage Home and First Contact come close
My fave is TNG - but I'm still split between Star Wars and Star trek - Star wars was a success because of the great acting in the original movies and the rich religious overtones it had that a lot of new agers and even Christians could identify with. The acting sucked so bad in the new movies and they cheapened the force as being organic. But the action, designs, and music of SW movies is superior to Star Trek, at least in the original - nothing can ever beat those scenes with the hundreds of storm stroopers standing attention with the Imperial March song playing... it's like an acceptable way to enjoy the natural militaristic desires we all have inside of us without feeling the guilt of watching movies of the REAL Nazi storm troopers.... .
.Yeah Star Wars is more action and militarism which is why it prob appeals to guys more. Star Trek is more realistic and problems are solved through negotiation among tons of different characters/species. The problem is that sometimes it gets boring because they almost always make decisions that are morally perfect and the solutions are too clear cut and successful in the episodic stories. Yeah LOTR was decent but at times it was too sentimental for me. Dune is too crazy for me haha - it's like a movie you have to really pay attention too or you'll get lost right away since the story is so different.
Wow you actually read the WOT also? I had the first book but it was so long I never even bothered getting the second.

That was a funny vid, gashin. Thanks.
I enjoy them both. In my house, I am the Trek geek, and my husband and son are huge Star Wars fans. I think my son has every Star Ward book ever published. Star Wars was a big part of my childhood, and was a cinimatic milestone. But I would have to say I enjoy Star Trek better. It is more about the people than action and shoot-em-ups, Especially DS9.
DS9 is most definatley humanoid interest stories. "More cerebral" is how I have often heard DS9 discribed. (And Avery Brook's voice just does it for me better than James Earl Jones'.)
I agree, LOTR does have them all beat, but that is going into a different genre. (Even though I love Same Rami, I am a bit worrried what he is going to do with The Hobbit.) I personally prefer fantasy to sci-fi. And Tolkien did make the mold for fantasy. But the two genres have been grouped together.
Dune, which is one of my favorites, seems to bridge both genres. Yes, it is set in space, but has more of a fantasy feel to me. Dragonriders of Pern has always been considered fantasy; dragons and all that - but it started with space travel and genetic egineering.
My obsession though, the best of all stories, IMO, is the Wheel of Time series. I am rereading them all again becuse the first volume of the final book will be out this month
Thanks for the geek thread. I am always happy to put in my two cents worth on the subject.
Be well,

The original Star Trek is in a class by itself. Next Gen, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise etc... all crap IMO.
Similarly, the first two Star Wars flicks are classics. Everything else in the Star Wars universe is crap IMO.
So, in my assessment, original Star Trek and the first two Star Wars flicks are awesome and largely unimpeachable. Later Trek, ROTJ and the 3 Star Wars prequels are worthless.

It's funny really, I used to like doing Shotokan karate and a bit of Amateur boxing and I have always enjoyed watching all the usual war movies so it would seem logical that I would be a fan of the science fiction Star 'wars' type of movies yet I have always far preferred the star 'trek' idea of a future where we have risen above all that.
You Star Wars analysis seems to mirror that of The Untitled Star Wars Mockumentary (Internet Archive: Free Download: The Untitled Star Wars Mockumentary)
At the end he has a title that says
George Lucas
1944-1977
I grew up enjoying both Star Trek and Star Wars, and I have a soft spot in my heart for both. Great times!
Re Star Trek, TNG and DS9 were my favorites. And of course for Star Wars, the original trilogy.
That said, in 2005 I discovered Doctor Who. The Doctor trounces 'em both IMO (and, with the Classic series, is also older than both). ^.^ Just my opinion of course, but it's the only show in existence that's ever made me as giddy as a lil kid on Christmas with every new episode. I love it.
