Star Wars or Star Trek?
Lynne:
I chose Star Trek because I really love the premise - that we're not alone in the universe - that mankind on earth will unite and explore the rest of the universe bringing principles of peace and goodness. Corny corny corny, I know.
Still....I agree that it's not really fair to compare Star Trek and Star Wars - different genres really. Another interesting comparison would be Star Wars vs Lord of the Rings. I saw and appreciated both, albeit at different times of my life
The absolute funniest thing I saw in the movie theatre last year was an argument between a 19-ish kid and a 29-ish kid over which was better (Clerks II). I laughed until my side hurt. See it. And if anybody's interested, I'll start that poll.

I never saw Clerks II, but I definitely believe that scene was funny! You can still find arguments between adults and children on Star Wars boards.
One heated argument went back and forth between two parties for several pages until a 3rd party stepped in and said,
3rd party: Hey Darthauditor how old are you?
DA: 35 why?
3rd party: You're arguing with (the other party) a 13 year old.
The argument ended there.

Though I'm no Trekkie, I do enjoy and admire Star Trek (both original and later series, with a sentimental spot for the former), and vastly prefer the Star Trek enterprise (pun intended :D) to the overhyped Star Wars franchise.

Oh yes...it's been a while since I've seen the show, but it was a whole lot of fun (again, vastly preferable to, to my mind, the absurdly overrated concoction that is the Star Wars franchise). My sister was even more of a fan than I, and was responsible for introducing me to this charming British parody.
