Question of the Week: Star Wars vs. Star Trek

The ultimate nerd showdown. Star Trek or Star Wars?
This question has plagued our society for far too long. It’s time to settle it once and for all. We at Shufflingdead do not just want to know this. We need to know whether the Force is with us or not. We need to know the value of the Prime Directive. We need to know if these are the droids we are looking for, and perhaps most of all, we need to know how many goddamn lights there are!

I do so love that picture, especially the girl with the tricorder lol.
But Star Wars would definitely win.
I will vote up star trek, only to vote down star wars and all the nasty rat tail trends they may or may have not created.
Star Trek wins based on time wasting potential. Star Trek gives you 30 seasons and 11 movies to work with. Star Wars only has 7ish movies and a few spin-off cartoons (plus the Ewok movies and the Christmas special).
Yeah, but most of that time wasting potential is BAD. How many seasons and spinoffs of Star Trek are just terrible? Voyager? Enterprise? Come on.
Star Wars has freaking Jedis, Sith, Ewoks, Galactic Wars, Wookies, Samuel Leroy Jackson with a fucking lightsaber… the list of awesome just goes on.
