I don't think we have one of these yet!?!

 

Which one do you like the most Star Trek or Star Wars, and why?

 

In light of a possible upcoming ludicrous speed ring for Windows 10.

Star Trek (Not including the JJverse) is far better! Well..Some of it anyways lol

I never watched any of the Star Wars TV shows..I love the original Trilogy for Star Wars. Might watch those again..And I am excited about the new Star wars movie. I hope it's good..

While I do enjoy watching Star Wars sometimes, I still prefer Star Trek, and have watched each episode (Not including TAS) at least six times lol Only seen each TAS episode once..

I'm about to watch every episode of Star Trek in chronological order. Should be fun haha

You left out the best installment of Star Wars, the Holiday Special! Well, it was better than Attack of the Clones, at least. :rofl:

 

But really the best Star Wars movie is Spaceballs!

 

Of course, neither Trek nor Wars can hold a candle to Doctor Who.

I am super fan of Star Wars! (Y)

 

Darth Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.

I chose Star Trek, TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY. WoK, SFS for the movies.

 

EP 4, 5, and 6 for Star Wars Movies.

 

J.J had better do the new Star Wars movie right, or there's going to be some serious problems when the other two come out.

They cater to very different sci-fi subsets that each have their own merits. Trekkies argue about which brand of sub warp singularity coil Picard used in alternate universe 23b... Star Wars is less about technology and more about Jedi pew pew boom yay.

 

If you try to look at one through the lens of the other, they make no sense. I prefer Star Wars, personally, the universe is just more fun (as evidenced by things like the video games) and usually doesn't even try to make much sense - at best, just serving as character dramas that could as easily have been fantasy as sci-fi.

 

And Star Wars fans can always emergency escape the argument by asking if Kirk or Picard is better.

You summed up my feelings perfectly. I enjoy both franchises, but they cater to different tastes. It's not a fair comparison. That said, Star Wars. :p

I enjoy both. Both created amazing memories for me growing up. My father passed when i was 9. I grew up sitting on the couch or recliner with my baby brother watching it.

So I love both, but I do have to say, I'm not a huge fan of the 1, 2, & 3 Movies. I enjoyed the back story, but leaving it at 1, 2, 3, and starting 7, 8, & 9 just seems stupid.

Borderline:
I love both. Why? Because each one has it's own variance. I do need to buy the collections again :D My brothers friend jacked 'em :(

Oh man, it gives me tears to hear you say, that you have high hopes for the new movie. I'm sorry, but I'm by far, more curious about BEFORE, rather than after.

I find that if they did a before, it could be a lot more interesting. I'd like to see the Director's of the LotR Series & The Hobbit Series, do Star Wars. I'm also excited for the new Star Trek movie, if it actually happens. With Spock's death, I'm not sure how well it'll work out. Who knows!

Star Wars for me.

 

Now, which of you fools have liked Star Trek V and Star Wars I - III? Own up. 

Star Wars III was reasonable, certainly better than the terrible I-II. There's no excuse for liking Star Trek V though.  :p

If they do bring the NX Series back, then I would hope they would explain the horrible finale for ENT, with Tucker dying also maybe focus on the Nx-02/Columbia as well.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

      Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary ..... LOL.... These are the new prices peeps, because they will still sell them. Everybody will get used to the price hike = more Profit!
    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
