Not every one is hating on the Shat!

Jedi seems to be, but he fancies himself a comedian, so there! (hint...see his avatar)

AND, it comes down the the decades-old fight between the Star Wars vs/ Star Trek argument....

Hmmm.....let's ponder....escapist fantasy, both. BUT, thoughtful, world-changing context, told in ways to comment on current events and concerns in ways that are not too preachy (usually).

Six motion pictures, entertaining at times.....but absolutely pure fantasy, no attempt to even try to explain the pseudo-science...

Or, ten (soon to be eleven) motion pictures, plus hundreds and hundreds of hours of television....did I mention hundreds and hundreds of hours?

Discuss.

Oh and for the record, Kirk was by far the worst captain


Hey, you're talking a bit of rubbish. Kirk was the only cadet to solve the Kobayashi Maru test (the "Kobayashi Maru" is the precipitating element in a simulated no-win scenario) at Starfleet Academy. He cheated -- but he solved the test. And he did so in typical Kirkian spirit and attitude.

James T. Kirk takes the test three times while at Starfleet Academy. Prior to his third attempt, Kirk surreptitiously reprograms the simulator so that it is possible to rescue the freighter. This fact finally comes out, later in the movie, as Kirk, Saavik and others appear marooned, near death. Saavik's response is, "Then you never faced that situation. Faced death." Kirk replies, "I don't believe in the no-win scenario."

So watch what you say about Kirk. He is just as likely as other starship commanders, if not more so, to find a way to win. He relishes finding and exploiting weaknesses in most any given scenario.

Jedi, hope you enjoyed spending your points to 'become' a Star Wars "expert"...

Sorry, your silly avatar trying to re-create the late, great Rodney DangerField just doesn't do it for us.

"THANK you.....NEXT!!!"

So I was talkin' the other day, and I says to my friend, as he told me his problems....I says...."Take my wife.....please"

NO respect I tells ya! NO respect!

SO....trick question. You stumble out of the snow into a cabin, and you see there is a fireplace and a stove and an oil lamp, and you only have one match. Which to you light first!!

Enjoy...WW

You said he was dead serious, serious like his movie Invasion Iowa? I think his on a viral campaign for an upcoming project. He led a whole town along while he filmed that movie, playing pranks and doing a hoolywood parody.

I bet his next movie will be based on those micro organisms killing off earth! Hes just campaigning for it now.

so many trek films and yet so much tripe

the films are dire, anyway star wars is gong to knock out some tv episodes

see what they will be like.

went to see the original star trek film in 79. in a cold damp theater. cinemas were real back then, they went a bit soft with heating,decent choice of films and a selection of sweet and savoury snacks. all we had was a pack of starburst (opal fruits) to lob at the screen.

anyway the film was tripe
