    For me it depends.

    Do you want high energy combat with space wizards everywhere? Start Wars.

    Do you want a commentary on the benefits of socialism and how interacting with alien species is extremely complex, while also showing the complicated interactions between species can usually always be overcome if you’re intelligent and wise enough to see the solution? Star Trek.

    Star…ring Alan Tudyk and Jewel Staire, Firefly… is the best franchise in the history of (video) Sci-Fi… because it’s a space Western with sass.

    (But really, Frank Herbert’s Dune is the best franchise in Sci-Fi.)

    Star Wars is a lot of things, but SciFi isn’t one of them.

    I’m surprised this hasn’t been posted yet. It feels relevant.

    Edit: Context is that this was a NYT crossword puzzle that could be solved either way, depending on whether the user preferred Star Wars or Star Trek.

Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don’t delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.
