The age old question. Which sci-fi series is superior?

For me, it's easily Star Wars. It's very nostalgic for me. Even after I take the nostalgia goggles off, I still love and admire the original trilogy for being such revolutionary and well made movies.

Just ignore those pesky prequels.
 
I didn't really care much for Star Trek

The prequels were good. I liked the face-paced lightsaber battles.

But it depends, Are we talking about the Star Trek movies or the Star Trek show? (Or all)
 
personally i like both quite a bit, they both have their own pros and cons.
 
Star Trek's characters (or at least in TNG) are much more fleshed out and are way more interesting than any Star Wars character (except Grand Admiral Thrawn, that guy's awesome).

On the other hand, Star Wars is interesting because of how everything relates to the galaxy as a whole, increasing the "epic" feel to something Star Trek never has and never will match.

So I like them both, for different reasons.

that said though, the greatest capital ship is easily the battlestar
 
While I love both series (and agree that they each have their own pros and cons, largely because television series and films are a bit like apples and oranges as far as comparisons go, but I digress), if I had to choose one, it'd be Star Trek.
 
I'm a big fan of Star Wars as I'm sure quite a few people know. I haven't seen any Star Trek films so I can't comment yet but the 2009 reboot is coming on telly soon so I'll comment then.
 
Star Trek for me all the way
star wars is too mainstream, it doesn't have the same feel, its like nearly everyone has seen star wars, but I'm like one of two-three kids in any one of my classes who even has seen the original star trek
star wars just feels different for me


and the Abrams reboot star trek is not REAL star trek canon, its an alternate universe, so its not the authentic star trek experience, they are great films in their own regard though


oh and why no stargate on the list? >:(
and while were at it why no Firefly?
why no Battlestar Galactica?
