Which is better?
There are other sci-fi franchises but between the big 2, which do you like more? Why?
While I like them both, Star Trek has been around the longest Originally Posted by jmichael
When I was younger, I always thought Star Trek was dumb and Star Wars was the best. But years later, I was recommended by some people to watch a couple specific episodes of Star Trek: TNG to see if it changed my mind, and sure enough, it did. I've only ever watched episodes of TNG and the movies, but I think it's an amazing show, though the first season isn't as good as the seasons after that. Originally Posted by Albedo

TNG's first season was uneven and most insiders claim Roddenberry himself was meddling too much and only after he agreed to step back beginning season 2 the show got better. and Roddenberry did famously refuse to make Patrick Stewart a wig/toupee.
btw Stewart did do one early test shoot with a toupee and it looked terrible and Roddenberry refused to try again. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

I still remember watching Space 1999 and Battlestar Galactica in the 70s. The reboot of Battlestar was frickin' Excellent! Originally Posted by DrivesAllDay

Who else wants to weigh in? Originally Posted by HDGristle
