Star Trek Vs Star Wars

There has been a question that has plagued the thoughts of nerds all over the world since the seventies. The question is which is better Star Wars or Star Trek. My humble thoughts on this timeless dilema are as follows. While Star Wars is an excellent film series Star Trek is hands down the winner of this nerdy competition. First of all there is just a sever lack of watching ablilty when it comes to Star Wars, at best you can have 16 hours of movies to watch and that is including the two ewok movies. Star Trek on the other hand Has three seasons of the originall series Six movies with the original cast, four movies with TNG and countless season of TNG, Voyager, DS9, and the failed Enterprise. All of this totals in the thousands of hours. Now some people may say tha its not quantity its quality so my second point is directed at them. The original Star Trek series was ground breaking in the following ways, There was a leading character that was black woman (Uhura) this was the sixties remember, There was also a Chinese leading character (Sulu), and most surprisingly in the second season there was a Russian character (Checkov) in the midst of the cold war at a time when ones life could be ruined by just going to a few communist meetings. Star Wars did not try push any bounderies. In some ways Star Trek paved the way for George Lucas to even get financing for his films. While Star Trek did not do to terribly well during its 3 season run by the time Lucas was formulating the Star Wars universe Trek was building an impressive following due to reruns. The more then likely showed the studios that there was a market for SciFi. Just my humble opinion but you just cant beat the trio of Kirk Spock and McCoy. While Spock was doing all the work McCoy was insulting him and complaining and Kirk was trying to get busy with some local alien hotties which he did quite often. While the fx of Wars is on a whole different level then Treks original series you really cannot beat the diy feel that you get from the orininal you just have to use your imagination and just forget about reality and loose yourself in Star Trek once you do that you actually like the look and feel of the oringinal, I for one would not have them change anything about it other then i would have liked the series to last a few more years. Now dont get me wrong I love Star Wars I have seen them all countless times and acutally have the original vhs releases of parts 4 5 and 6. If i were forced to choose one to watch and one to forget about I would have to forget about Wars and watch Star Trek.
