Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for April 29, 2024

Back in the days when there was a Waldenbooks at the mall, I used to buy paperback books for each Star Trek and Star Wars series. The clerk who checked my books out was surprised that I liked both and didn’t pick a side.

B5!

Doctor Who?

Battlestar Galactica the original series, V the original series< Firefly , Stargate to name a few.

They all was inspire from Flash Gordon comics.

I forget who said (I paraphrase) “I want to watch Star Wars. I want to be Star Trek.”

Captain Video and his Video Rangers!!!

I got into FarScape because of it’s non-hominid aliens. They lost me as they went more into multispectral hominids (ala Star Trek) and away from the oddities that originally attracted me.

Star Trek. Never got into Star Wars. Too kiddish for my tastes. Trek was more for adults.

I enjoy them both. They are separate genres of fantasy. Star Trek is “Future Earth”, while Star Wars is “Alternate Reality”.

Both.

Babylon 5

To me, it seems to depend on your fashion sense.

Only a Geek would understand

Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, SG1, Avengers, Continuum, Flash, Doctor Who.. off the top of my head

Three words, James Tiberius Kirk.

Star Trek was the more philosophical, while Star Wars more represents human behavior, bad human behavior, but still more accurate. We look for heroes to save us from ourselves instead of being different. Thank you Miss Lucille Ball.

Geeze I’m noticing that all the women at this workplace are built like brick you know what’s and the guys all look like skinny ruffled up Einsteins.

If you prefer Wars, you aren’t a real geek anyway.

galaxy quest! spaceballs!

Now really test them – Andromeda (such a waste of a good concept)

Hmm… I enjoyed about half of the first season of Star Trek. The only TV SF series I’ve enjoyed is The Expanse. Oh, Red Dwarf was pretty good too. I think of Doctor Who as a comic book and enjoy it for that. I saw the first 3 Star Wars movies. They’re great Saturday morning serials with high production values.

Does anybody remember ‘Forbidden Planet’ where it really all started?

I’m just appreciating that the font is correct for both.

Captain Z-Ro.

Anything Gerry Anderson “Supermarionated”.

Neither – operates in zero gravity so – f——- (forget) them both!

When I was a kid there was Tom Corbett, Space Cadet and Rocky Jones Space Ranger. Then Science Fiction Theater.

I think people are “Far Out Space Nuts” and “Lost in Space”.
