    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....

    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Have to say I woted Trek

    Never could get into or like SW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 410 ✭✭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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭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.

    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.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 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.

    Star wars all the way, quality over quantity :p
    (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})

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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Corega


    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.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,945 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭BKtje


    If it was films vs films Star Wars would get my vote.

    The overall tho i prefer Star Trek by a long way. More substance.

    Some one earlier said that ds9, voyager were ****e and got worse. I loved both those shows. DS9 had the war with the dominion and the post occupation of bajor and the troubles on that planet. Voyager was totally original in the way that it sent a crew miles away on its own.

    Enterprise is good but not great. Its the same, one earth ship but this time its not ages from home and most aliens can kick the **** outta em which is a pain. It also feels less like a military run ship with the captain deciding everything, from whats best for earth to whats for dinner. It needs more rules imo to ber more effective. I dos till enjoy it tho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 234 ✭✭Mistakill


    Star Wars owns all YORE MA's

    Its just so much more enjoyable than ST. You have to actually sit and think about what a Fahg Data is in ST


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 Snoop_froggy


    data is da most oringinal charactor in next gen.

    ST rules and they get better by de series(wit da xcetion of enterprise).

    My arse, they get worse and worse with each new series. I heard Kate Mulgrew was their third choice as Janeway after they couldn't get the first 2 actresses - the way she acts, you'd think she was their 30th choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Dunno about third - definitely second anyway as Genevieve Bujold walked out on the second day of filming Voyager.

    TBH all the Star Trek Series have had crap moments - Especially the newer ones, all of whose first seasons have been notably dodgy - but some of them areclassic. In fact I don't mind Janeway at all - though first time I heard her voice it nearly drove me mad!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 116 ✭✭medja


    Trek is better in so many ways, and part of the fun of voyager was how quickly could you find the hole in the storyline this week.

    I went with Star Trek...

    i have to say that i am more looking forward to Nemesis then i ever did with AOTC. Strange though that they both contain themes about cloning.

    Cant wait to the big E go up against that new Warbird, im sure someone will back me up on that...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    pfffft way to give the plot aweh SK :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 491 ✭✭Justice


    i went for star trek. i think its great.
    about 600 hours of some brilliant tv/films verses
    10 hours of some great , some s***e films.

    my opinion that last SW film should be classified as romance, not sci fi.
