Star Trek v Star Wars

Which one is better? There is only one way to find out: FIGHT![^] For me, it's Star Wars [IV - VI].
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett
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?

DS9 is NOT Star Trek.

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).

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?

...and why do you thing they called it a Warp drive. More seriously, it is a common feature of Science Fiction to take existing science and see what the outcome is if you allow for technology transcending existing limits - hence warp drives, and transporters. In science terms, I suspect the transported is less probable - moving the entire quantum state of complex organism, let alone a landing party, would be a tricky undertaking to put it mildly. Without those breaks, Sci Fi would be a rather dull literary form. Hell, by your standards even 2001 doesn't qualify.

Neither of them are science fiction. They both require FTL travel, which is impossible, therefore rendering them both within the confines of Fantasy.
