We all have our fave sci fi programmes but there is a difference of opinion between those who like Starwars and those who like Startrek. Do the poll and tell us why you like them best or if you think they are both rubbish tell us what you like instead?

I must confess that I am a devoted Trekkie through and through (as my DVD collection proves), having followed all the different TV shows and movies from the original version, all the way to and including Enterprise. It is not so much the technology and the special effects that really get me in, but more that it was based on the positive vision of the future by it's creator Gene Rodenberry.

We could all I feel do with some positive visions of the future now with the current state of the planet as it is (war on terror, global warming crisis etc). It may sound corny and somewhat idealistic to many people, but at least it leaves you feeling that there is still some hope for the planet and for humanity as a whole (even if it is only fiction).

I believe that Star Trek was just as much a spiritual odyssey as merely another excuse for more "cops and robbers" in space. The concept of a Universe where people from all different races, cultures, belief systems and personal preferences and various alien cultures coming together in greater peace and harmony appeals to me like in no other show I have seen, and keeps me watching the episodes again and again.

I do not hate or even dislike Star Wars, but rather although I did watch one or two of the original movies, I never took the time to really get to know the characters, or ever especially felt the urge to do so.

Live long and prosper,

'Feel the force Luke', Spocky never came up with that. 'It might be life Jim, but not as we know it', does not compare with Obi Wan Kinobi.
I must admit to still having a thing about young ladies in very short skirts and boots but that's my cross and I bear it with fortitude.

I love both and watch both as much as possible.
it was disappointing to see that the new enterprise was pulled,.. jolene blalock was sooooooooooo hot!! (t'pol)
i've been watching re-runs of voyager on spike tv and i play the star trek ccg with some friends.
as for star wars,the movies are great,there's a rumor of a tv series sponsored by lucas but until then i guess i'll still play my ps2 star wars battlefront II online.
i'm in clan {bob} darthomax if any one ever plays...............great poll by the way!!!

And the star trek series makes one think too about alot of real life issues i do agree.would be wonderful to have a team oriented society who strived for the greater good rather than who could be wealthy........
