A while back someone asked me who I liked better: Elvis or The Beatles. He said a study had been done, and you could tell alot about a person by which musical icon they chose. He said he was sure I was a Beatles Boy. He was shocked when I said Elvis.
I've been talking to someone recently and I thought I'd bring up a similar comparison just for fun.
Which do you prefer: Star Trek or Star Wars. Or both. Or neither. And why. No judgement, no ridicule. I won't be offended if you don't agree with me.
I prefer Star Trek. And though The Next Generation has alot of great stories, I really like the originals with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. And one of my favorite episodes from that series is "Arena", where Kirk gets into personal combat with a lizard creature called a Gorn. Once you get past the guy in the rubber suit (I met the actor who played the part - he said that suit was murder to film in on location in the desert!) it's a great story. Ingenuity, chemistry ( I still remember how to make gunpowder from wacthing that as a kid!), special effects, believable, exciting, great morale ending.
I don't consider myself a trekie. I have the movies on DVD, some of the books, and I've made an original phaser. But I don't dress up in Spock ears or Klingon foreheads
