exactly. let me get one thing clear: if you like star wars but not star trek, YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED STAR TREK. people tend to just blow it off as the quintessential geek series -- and i suppose with the dilithium crystals and beaming up and communicators and such it is, but no more than star wars with its lightsabers and death stars -- but they judge it while totally missing the POINT of the show, which is to explore basic human issues of identity, morality, and place in the cosmos. it is philosophy in the guise of sci-fi, something to which star wars could never lay claim. star wars, while definitely fun, is a mere action thriller series.

rob- thanks. episode iii is a boatload of fun, but i wouldn't consider star wars sci-fi. episode iv originally started out as just one movie, and only because it was popular it became a series (and thank god, empire strikes back is AWESOME).

You guy do know that Star Wars is to some degree a rip-off of a soviet propaganda film, right? Go watch Sergei Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky and laugh whilst your childhood is destroyed. Star Trek just doesn't sit with me anymore. I vote Doctor Who and Babylon Five.

star wars also rips off a film called The Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa and supposedly the Lensman books by E.E. Smith, but I've never read them. anyway while it's all well and good to say that star trek deals with weightier themes and is philosophy as sci-fi, it's also hardly a taxing or challenging program to watch, and is far from intellectual or enlightening, it's not much different to something like the X-Men (which I love). and a shit episode of star trek is far more annoying to watch than anything in the original three star wars films (i.e. the real star wars films), even the ewoks. however, george lucas is a gaylord and the new SW films are soul destroying, i don't think he even comprehends what it was that made the original 3 films so great and why everyone liked them. |

star wars, the original was way ahead of it's time in the issues it dealt with.
the next generation will stand the test of time as the best sci fi televisaion show of the past 20 years. deep space 9 was as dense and rich and harsh and cruel as the very best sci fi shows. it was involved and long and traumatic. the emotions that star wars deals with are surface emotions, simple emotions, children's emotions. there is nothing in star wars to compare to the depth and richness adn intelligence of the stra trek series and universe.

I never really got into Star Trek at all. The first three Star Wars were classic though, but I wish they never released Episodes 1-3. Episode 3 was the only one that I found decent, but there were waayyy too many flaws in them.
