iago, I am relinquishing control of this forum. You may once again control what goes on in here.

As my final act as supreme ruler of this forum, I will continue the debate that started long, long ago. What do you think is better: Star Wars or Star Trek?

I actually prefer Star Wars. The creatures in Star Wars seemed much more creative. Also, all the main characters were memorable and fit quite well into the story (which was awesome!!!). Finally, the lightsaber duels kicked ass.

While this may be true, Pirates > Ninjas.

If you say otherwise, I'll tell Maddox and he'll replace your eyes with cadbury eggs.

He's not dead. Only ninjas kill silently, and there was no mention of his death.

What I'm about to say will quite possibly shatter your world as you know it. Pirates = ninjas. Although ninjas have awesome outfits, pirates have ships and badass flags.

However, the ultimate killing machine is the Pirate ninja. The beings in this profession are even more badass than me.

You missed the fact that ninjas can jump around and stab people with their cool Katanas and stuff. Thus them > pirates.

Samurai use katanas. Ninjas use kodachis, kunai, shuriken, and the three techniques: ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu.

You all suck. First of all, ninjas are stupid, and only losers like ninjas. Second, pirates are also stupid. Pirates are just wannabe vikings with a retarded accent. Vikings, on the otherhand, are totally badass and would rape, pillage, and plunder both the pirates and ninjas, at the same time, with their hands tied behind their back.

Not to mention the fact that an awesome genre of music (Viking Metal) is named after them. I don't think there's such a thing as Ninja Metal OR Pirate Metal, is there?

Vikings don't speak in broken english, I'm sure they spoke in their own languages.

Well, I'm a fan of TV serieses, so I like Star Trek better. Although I've never really seen any of the Star Wars movies, so who knows?

However, I've been watching Battlestar Galactica, which *might* be better than both. More to come on that eventually.

My boss thinks so. He's a big Battlestar Galactica fan.

I like the new one. I'm not into the older sci fi (Star Trek: original series), it's just too goofy.

Chavo · « **Reply #34 on:** June 19, 2006, 10:11:21 am »

Meh, Battlestar Galactica is just another drama tv-series with relatively few fighting/aliens/<things that make a scifi...scifi>.

I used to watch Star Trek and it was decent, but I avoided becoming a 'trekie' like the plague. I abhore Star Wars. While the ideas are creative and the graphics cool, I want to stab myself in the ears every time I hear the horribly, horribly, HORRIBLY unintelligent dialogue that has been dumbed down so that a 5 year old can enjoy it (the new ones at least, the old ones are -ok-). Really ruins it for me.

If you want a good scifi show, go watch seasons 1-8 of Stargate SG-1. Post season 8 they get a little meh and the Atlantis spinoff isn't as good, but both are worth watching if you enjoy the first 8 seasons of the original. Maybe that's just my thing though, I happen to enjoy the incorporation of history/mythology with technology/aliens.

rabbit · « **Reply #35 on:** June 19, 2006, 10:42:20 am »

While I enjoy SG-1, don't get me started. There are sooooo many discrepencies it's mind-boggling.

Chavo · « **Reply #36 on:** June 19, 2006, 10:43:49 am »

Agreed! Name a scifi show that isn't true for

RoMi · « **Reply #37 on:** June 20, 2006, 07:56:53 am »

Hands Down; Star Trek. Star Wars is great, don't get me wrong, and it works well as a movie, but wouldn't as a TV Series, while Star Trek is dynamic, it can do both well.

rabbit · « **Reply #38 on:** June 20, 2006, 08:51:38 am »

Which ST? The original blows, 2.0 is worse, TNG was alright, DS9 was alright, Voyager sucked, and Andromeda....well, I don't even have to say anything about Andromeda.

If you want a really good sci-fi, watch Firefly.

RoMi · « **Reply #39 on:** June 20, 2006, 08:59:06 am »

I know iago will disagree, but TNG is the best Star Trek series. I like the original Series for its characters though. They are classic and timeless.

iago · « **Reply #40 on:** June 20, 2006, 09:36:11 am »

TNG is one of the better ones, I think.

DS9 > *
TNG and Voyager are pretty good
The Original Series is pretty lame, but is fun to occasionally watch
And Enterprise.. let's not talk about that.

Enterprises writers just had the wrong idea. They made episodes that kept playing off the last episode, so if you missed one you missed a lot. A good show with a large audience base can pull this off, however Enterprises's base didn't get large enough before they made these continuous episodes.

Serial shows can be great, like DS9, but you can't start like that. You need an audience base first.
