Sweet Lu Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 that age old question: which rules more Star Wars or Star Trek. Quote
Joe > Average Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 That's a tough battle for Star Trek since its more of a cult favorite while Star Wars is more of an international phenomenon, but good luck . Quote

Michael* Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 The original Trek series was great, but I never really got into any of the spin-offs. Overall, I prefer Wars. Quote
Diabolo Fraise Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I'm a big fan of Star Wars. The movies are so goood and Anakin is... Quote
Stromboli1 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Disney Star Wars vs Kelvin Timeline Star Trek would be a great matchup what sucks worse cause they're no winners and the fans are the real losers. Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Both Trek and Star Wars currently suck (mostly). I have time for The Mandalorian, Rogue One and Solo in the Disney SW universe. The rest was mostly garbage. I didn't care much for Discovery nor Picard. Really the only thing I enjoyed a bit were the Captain Pike episodes of Discovery. So I have a tiny bit of hope for that spin-off show. Quote
Michael* Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 For me, the worst parts of Solo are the pointless connections to the OT, although granted, I'm very much in the camp that prefers not to know where Yoda came from, or who made the Xenomorphs, or where Wolverine got his biker jacket. In the case of Trek, I really only rate the original series and a few of the films. I haven't seen any of the recent spin-offs. Quote
Enrico_sw Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Both! But I'm only talking about genuine Star Wars and Star Trek which excludes everything that comes from the vandals (i.e. Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy, Alex Kurtzman, Jar Jar Abrams, etc.) Quote

Agreed. We need mystery. Ending the mysteries is ending the magic and value of these characters.

Well, don't waste your time trying to watch them. They're mediocre. Alex Kurtzman is a bad storyteller. The only really good thing is the sountrack (Jeff Russo is a pure genius). Quote

Now that there is the Mandalorian (and Jedi Fallen Order), we can say that Disney didn't mess up everything (even if the messed up most of what they did ) Quote

Yeah, without wishing to derail too much from the topic, I think there's an unfortunate tendency to get bogged down, either in trying to explain away every plot point or beating you over the head with exposition. I know for me though, the appeal of most sci-fi is the way it captures the imagination. Surely that's half the fun of being a film fan. Quote

I would even admit to finding The Next Generation somewhat underwhelming really, so the subsequent stuff would likely be a bit lost on me anyway. There are elements of TNG that I like and I enjoy some of the individual episodes, but as an ongoing thing it just never really made much of an impression on me. Not sure why. Quote
