Which do you prefer? I have seen polls in the past that are just about 50-50. It's usually pretty close.

I personally prefer Star Trek. I suppose it runs in the family, because my mum and brother are huge Trekkies too.

Star Trek. I love the "intellectual" side of Star Trek. Star Wars is more "action hero" based.
The Next Generation with Captain Pickard Rocks! The other series I can do without.

Love all things Trek..... I like Star Wars as well, but 5 movies over the course of 25 years just doesn't cut it.

Star Trek without a doubt! I still like the old corney first Star Trek-Captain Kirk before he gained weight and a toupee-LOL. It was kind of a landmark show I think-a Black and an Asian in the crew. (not meaning any offense-it was a good thing!)

Gosh, I hope I didn't say the wrong thing. Maybe I should have said African-American (Uhura) and Oriental. (Sulu) What I meant was the cultural diversity was unusual at the time I think.

Ha Ha Deb!

I definetly like Star trek, but I'm more partial to Voyager and Deep Space Nine rather than the original...

No doubt for me - Star Trek TOS!!!! i am a bit of a closet Trekkie, but only for the 60's series. Love it!! the clothes! The Hair!! The stupid monsters ( mind you I am very fond of the Horta )
I had a big "thing"for Cpt Kirk ! Just hearing the theme music sends me off into dreamland....
I think the Star Wars movies are BORING

Another vote for Star Trek here!

I like all of them - recently I caught one of the earliest episodes from the 60's (haven't seen them before) and it was so funny


I love the Star Trek movies too - but I think usually the TV series is better (the stories are too long). Both generations are cool. I also like Voyager a lot. I think it captures the original Star Trek spirit.

The first Star Wars movies (the original ones - not the new sequels) were awesome at the time. I certainly fell for Han Solo
I don't think they age very well though - they seem a bit corny these days. And the new ones are ok at best - no more.

Movin' on up!
I love the original Star Trek series and the first couple of movies were pretty good. I haven't seen any of the recent Star Wars movies.

The best episode of Star Trek was "Amok Time". It was good to see Spock getting some. (I still have a crush on Leonard Nimoy).

I like Star trek, Most all from the 60s to now. When I was A kid I though Leonard Nimoy was so smart and cool! Spock was my favorite. Latter on I liked Data with his cat Spot.

Hmmmm....I like them both. I loved Star Trek TNG, Capt. Picard rocked!! Not much of a fan of the newer ones though. Capt. Janeway put me off and I stopped watching.

Having said that I love Star Wars too. I can barely wait til the next Episode comes out, I have Episodes 1 and 2 on DVD and the original three on VHS. My friends and I all own official Star Wars Light Sabers
- on the weekends in the summer we get together after dark and have Light Saber fights- its an absolute blast (only leaves the occasional bruise when a Jedi gets a little over-zealous
)

I just thought of something-the first Siamese cat we ever had we named after a character in a Star Trek episode. Our cat was named Icsis and was a male, although in the show Icsis was a black cat who turned into a beautiful woman. The episode was called "Assignment Earth." Does anyone remember that episode?

I am a first generation trekkie. Still have the hots for MR Spock.
Had a kitten named Spock once, and his sister bit him and caused an absess -- so I named her the klingon.

I was grown when Star Wars came out, and while it was a fun movie I did not really bother with the others -- to much fx and a plot older than me. (think EROL FLYN)
Although I did have major problems with the first Star Trek movie, for the same reason -- to much special effects, not enough plot.

I like them both. I am more partial to Star Trek because it is more readily available, but I wouldn't miss anything new in either canon.
