    The Expanse (well, except for when they killed off a central character)

    But have you asked him what he thought of “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”?

    I view them as different genres. Star Wars is fantasy, while Star Trek is science fiction.

    I love both of them equally. I watch either depending on what I’m in the mood for. Star Trek is more cerebral and philosophical; Star Wars is more high fantasy, wizards and warriors kind of fun, like D&D in space. I think Trek goes deeper into character relationships and drama, with lots of allegorical social commentary, and sometimes I’m really in the mood for that. It creates a vision of the future to aspire to. When I’m in the mood for more action and fun, and indulging of power fantasies, Star Wars can be better for that. I also enjoy its contemplation of good side/dark side ethical philosophy, which is inspired by eastern thought, and the lessons it teaches on meditation and mind. Where Trek has a more intellectual approach to entertaining and teaching through storytelling, I would say Star Wars has a more spiritual approach when it’s being serious, which is less of the time than in Trek. Sometimes you just want to watch blasters going pew-pew, spaceships firing turbo lasers and being blown up, light-sabers buzzing, and telekinetically thrown heavy objects flying around.

    Star Trek, it wasn’t always about violence and war.

    I knew someone who ruined movies by analyzing them as if he was a movie critic. He hated it when I’d say “Blah blah! Can’t you just enjoy the movie?” UGH!

    Did you all know that there is going to be a Computer Game based on “The Expanse”, where you play as Camina Drummer, probably the coolest character on that show?

    Of those two – Star Trek (from the 60’s TV show.) However, right now, none can hold a candle to Dr. Who. (Heck – I’d even go for Blakes 7.)

    Star Trek Voyager – my pre-teen daughter discovered it and loved that a female captain was in charge. Years of this paid off as she then discovered Star Wars, LOTR and other sci-fi stuff for us to bond with.

    Never have understood the strife…. I like them all:

    Star Trek (all versions), Star Wars (the same), Babylon 5, Firefly, The Orville, Battlestar Galactica (both versions), Space 1999, Dr. Who (every one of them!), Matrix (all of them), Warehouse 13, Dune, Riddick (all three), etc., etc., etc.

    Why should anyone limit themselves to just one favorite? There is plenty of good stuff to go around (and I didn’t even get into my personal library of science fiction and fantasy books).

    I saw several episodes of the original STAR TREK series. Its themes were make-up and a defense of the Vietnam War & American imperialism. And, of course, as Carl Sagan pointed out, the likelihood that an Earthling could mate with a Vulcan is less than a human mating with an artichoke.

    Trek, duh. Wars is stupid fantasy and western elements repackaged as sci-fi, with absolutely no redeeming value, like eating a big bowl of potato chips…

    Wait…
