Well, being a Star Trek fan from waaaaayyyy back I have to vote on that side. But, I like Star Wars too, only the first 3 though.

I say Star Wars since you didnt give an option for Doctor Who. :-)

Best Star Trek film of all is the second one "Star Trek II : The Wrath of Kahn" (at least until I see the new one in early May.) Next in line would be "First Contact" with the Borg - an absolute riot.

I would follow this by "Star Trek VI : the Undiscovered Country". (the favourite line of mine in this movie; Favourite line is by Chang quoting "Shakespeare is good in English, but you need to read him in the original Klingon ...", and saying "taH pagh taHbe' " ("To Be, or Not To Be") - Klingons loving Shakespeare because "everyone dies"! Classic. (I.e. Hamlet is Klingonese is at; http://www.khemorex-klinzhai.de/e/Hol/kli/hamlet )

Best Star Trek episode of all is "In the Pale Moonlight" in Deep Space Nine (Series 6) and is some of the most intelligent sci-fi I've seen on TV. The story goes along the lines of tricking some others to rally towards someone cause, and in turn throw away your morals and values to achieve it. I can still vividly remember the great quote by Capt. Cisco ;

"My father used to say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I laid the first stone right there. I'd committed myself. I'd pay any price, go to any lengths, because my cause was righteous. My... intentions were good. In the beginning, that seemed like enough."

If I were to second guess, it would be "City on the Edge of Forever" in the original series (Series One), followed 3rd by the quite pleasant Star Trek: Enterprise "Carbon Creek" (Series 2).

The best Star Wars one is the first Episode "Star Wars : Episode IV A New Hope." It is fun, it pure escapism, and when I first saw it at the cinema as a teenager took my breath away.

As for the best between "Star Trek" and "Star Wars", well there is no answer, because each must be taken on their own merits. They have there good points and bad, but if you let yourself go into the imaginative world, then as long as they entertain, they are all mostly very good indeed.
DRAW, methinks!

Note: However, if I had to defend myself in a fight, give me the Star Wars lightsaber any day over Trek's Klingon bat'leths (sword of honour) and phasers.

To make a judgement on this issue you need someone who is well informed, someone totally unbiased.

To make that objective decision you want the "Green Lady" Orion Slave Girl.

Love them both :thum bsup:

The first Star Wars made a big impact, so is my fav.
Enjoyed all the Star Trek movies, though when I see 'Nemesis' at the pictures - WOW, loved it.

[BerrieK]

One of our dogs (long haired black and whitr border collies) is called Darth Vader. He is dark all down one side - has a dark side - hence his name! His other name is b!%%&y destructo-dog. Would love to put him in a movie!

[Glenhuon (Bill)]

Our little ginger tom cat was called Spock. He wandered in, got fed, petted and was allowed to sleep anywhere he wanted. To leave would be illogical

Sorry Jared, I cant pick any of them.

I just enjoy the lot, they all have good and bad parts but I can live with that.

Cheers

[multiweb (Marc)]

Like comparing apples and oranges IMHO. They both have good and bad.

Star Trek and Star Wars are just new age fads - I think you guys have been out in the luna rays far too long!! Dr Who is one of the all time classics, first aired in 1963 and still going strong

Hey. On 8th September 1966 was when Star Trek TOS first aired - and that is pretty close to to Dr.Who, which was on 23rd November 1963.

There have been six series in Star Trek totalling 726 episodes and ten movies since then (736) + one more after May 7th 2009. Dr Who has made a total of 753 episodes through 204 stories!.

So much for new age fads - the numbers I'd say are are pretty much equal. Considering there was only one miserable Dr.Who movie in 1996, between the hiatus of 1989 and 2005, I would say "still going strong" is really a bit of an illusion IMO.

Too many re-generations and jelly babies methinks!

Like 'em all, except nemesis which was garbage.
