And besides, you should be thankful, without Trek, we wouldn't have Star Wars. George Lucas thinks the whole debate is pointless, and he considers himself a Trekkie. _________________

Star Trek takes itself way too seriously. For me, back then at least, it was like watching a dreaded news broadcast. 2. The battles are boring. You see a bunch of guys on a command bridge, saying "shields up", "Fire on sector G-4", but you don't actually see the battle. 3. As for the fan following, I won't even get into it... _________________ Where sky and water meet, Where the waves grow sweet, Doubt not, Reepicheep, To find all you seek, There is the utter east.

"Oh no! Red alert! We're being fired upon! Quick, everyone! Swivel in your chairs!". Which reminds me of an episode of The Next Generation I saw once. The Enterprise was apparently being attacked and Picard said "Red alert!". The scene went on but once the danger passed, somebody seemed to forget to turn the red alert off. So the crew was sitting there, having a casual conversation about the warp core or whatever, and the sirens were blaring and red lights were flashing the whole time. I laughed. And say what you will about the Falcon's hyperdrive; it didn't malfunction nearly as many times as the Enterprise's warp core. The thing breaks every episode! I thought that ship was state-of-the-art. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

Scotty and whoever else worked in engineering were trained for it. You'd think they could keep the thing running. Han, on the other, mainly used the whack-the-bulkhead-with-a-hydrospanner method. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

Deep Space Nine- first 2 seasons were slow, but where the foundation for the ONLY Star Trek to have a full war going on in it. And the only Federation ship with cloaking! I loved the ships they have and the battles they had after season 4 and beyond. And the Tribbles episode was the coolest thing at it's time. But for the taking itself serious- I have a commentary how they have guys who get scripts that say things like "tech the tech, tech the tech with their tech" and these guys give them multiple ways of "could be done" and they run with "what sounds cool" _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.

I always hated that concept. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

And we even had the ones that Phased- those were even better- they used Nutrenos or some other new word to track ships in cloak.

That was the thing about Star Trek. Some writer would just type, "We need to fix the "tech" with the "tech" before the "tech" overheats,". Then they just inserted whatever sounded cool. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out. So this is how liberty dies....with thunderous applause.

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows A thread I feel needs to be revived. I was inspired by Rogue's recent blog post: Do you even LIKE Star Wars?! Due to the fans' increasing hostility toward each other, I say we all need something to fight against! We need to ban together, and rag on the Trekkies! Besides, they deserve it. They are, after all, Trekkies. So, if for no other reason than to save our our fanbase from certain destruction, let us bash the heck out of the Trekkies! Edit: And if you are, Force forbid, a fan of both...then it's time you chose sides. Join with us as we seek to save ourselves! _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker
