Star Trek or Star Wars? #19328168 03/24/24

Trek seemed to be based on technological solutions whereas Star Wars seemed to rely "the force." I know, I know, warp drive and the force don't exist. The difference is, one day, faster than light will. Between Star Trek and Mission Impossible (Barney rocked it!) my desire to learn about technology resulted in my becoming an Army radio operator / repairman, an Air Force electronic repair tech, and lastly running an AF electronic warfare shop.

Star wars is a space western mixed with Taoism. The original Star Trek dealt more with the big questions of humanity. Star wars is fun. Star Trek will make you think. Don't get me wrong, I love a good space western. Two of my favorites are Cowboy Bebop and Serenity. The Wrath of Khan remains the best Star Trek movie. Last edited by antelope_sniper; 03/24/24.

Deep Throat 9 was ok, but after that the franchise basically lost it's way. You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
