Star Trek and Star Wars....etc

Vaganza

I remember back in ye olden days of dial up modems and terminal windows you would log into a use group to argue 1 of 2 things, Mac Vs PC and Star Trek Vs Star Wars. I'm happy that in these times both debates can be had still. I'm on Team Both, because it IS possible to like both. But at this time I'm happy to see that there is NEW Star Wars and Star Trek content out there to ingest. But what has me most excited right now is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The stories are great and the filming and effects are awesome. I've also been watching Kenobi, this all certainly beats the days of putting a VHS tape in the ole VCR. What other great things are people watching out there?

Not much of a star wars or star trek person myself, but always happy to hear fans of both series having something new to talk about, watch and enjoy!

Linux and Doctor Who 😛

J/K I do like Star Trek (except for the new Trek movies)/Star Wars (at least the original trilogy) as well.

I also liked Alien Nation (up to the movies), Babylon 5 (except for the last season), Battlestar Gallactica (original, I didn't watch the new series yet), The Expanse, Firefly, Farscape, and Stargate. I'm sure I'm forgetting some others as well. That's not to mention all the sci-fi movies and whatnot too. Also there is a lot of good animated stuff on top of all of that.

I just wish I could play some of the neat games, but I'm a Linux die hard. Native binaries only!

EDIT: I cannot believe I forgot The Orville. It is the most Trek like without actually being a part of the franchise. It doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves either. Yes there are some crude jokes in it, but it really is hard hitting sci-fi modeled on the more classic 80's style.

I used to watch Star Wars and Star Trek because they were the only science fiction going; now there's way too much good stuff being made.

I have yet to willingly consume a piece of Star Trek media. For whatever reason, it just doesn't seem that interesting. That being said, I'm a diehard Star Wars fan. Go figure.

I am really enjoying Strange New Worlds.

I honestly like StarWars more.

I like them both, though some of the newer Star Wars movies weren't as good as I would have liked.

I have to start over on Andor, I got lost, I realized I can't watch that one while doing a lot of other things at the same time.

Star wars has always been confusing for me, however i really enjoyed the games! Star wars battlefront 2 was amazing

One thing I have found to be the case since COVID is everyone's attention span is lacking to get into some of these shows heavily to truly follow, last week I just finished my 3rd watch through of Star Trek Discovery and did Picard this week, just to find all the stuff I missed.
