Star Trek v Star Wars

Er.... YOU CANNOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT. Ok By bending space you may give the appearance of travelling a distance greater than light would have travelled in the same time, but this was done by travelling a shorter distance, not by travelling faster. Geddit?

If you mean that you cannot travel over more space than light in any given time, then yes. But it may be able to fold space, creating a shortcut. The problem is, that the only known way to distort space is in the vicinity of a large mass (or, due to E = mc^2, the mass equivalent in energy). To put it very simple: Imagine space like a long carpet. When you stand at one end, you could fold it so that you can reach the other end with a single step. Space would be 'elastic' and resume it's original shape once you eliminate the influence that folded it.

To think that in every dimension, every possibility is played out -- hell, there's probably a really, really weird dimension where you're better-looking than me.

Fair point although it was long time ago and a galaxy far, far away...

Which one is better? There is only one way to find out: FIGHT![^] For me, it's Star Wars [IV - VI].

Ok... this is really a different league... honestly, Ms. Fisher and Mr. Shatner... how old are you? (I really would like to see, if Leia dumps Solo for Kirk... we currently have a rerun of TOS, and it's quite amazing, how often Kirk got a female in hold :laugh: ) PS: Star Trek rules
(yes|no|maybe)*

Of course it's not Star Trek. My CP avatar is Yoda not a freakin' Tribble.

Yep, Kirk got all the girls, could defeat any Klingon (or Romulan or monster of the week) and had the neat ability of talking computers into commiting suicide.

Kirk vs. (Vader & Deathstar)...
Hey, Anakin, you look familiar... your mother... she's from Tatooine, right? Mr. Spock, when have we been there?

Star Trek is a vision of a better future through scientific enlightenment. Star Wars is about magic powers and religious metaphors. There's no comparison between the two franchises so the entire discussion is pointless, but Star Trek is obviously better.

There's 6 Star Wars films. Star Trek beats that just for sheer volume, The original series, the next generation (how many series?), DS9 again multiple series, Voyager and the last one that went back to the first enterprise, can't remember what it was called. And then there's all the films. BSG wipes the floor with both of them!

Entirely disagree: ST is science fiction since it is of our universe whilst SW is not. Both forms can include elements of speculative fiction (like FTL which is thought, at present, to be impossible) but SW takes place in an alternate universe thereby rendering it fantasy rather than fiction.

Hang on a sec! Are you claiming alternate universes don't exist? What about the alternate universe they kept jumping over to in DS9 where Kira's into a bit of S&M and she dresses up in skin tight black clothes?

In what way is it not ST? You've got Worf and O'Brien transferred from the Enterprise, the Federation, Klingons, Cardassians, Romulans etc.

I guess we know which one Maunder prefers (what with his profile being a picture of Picard).
