Its not even close, Star Trek is much better. James Doohans portrayal of a scotsman was second only to Sean Connery as a Spaniard in the same movie with a Frenchman (I think) playing a scotsman. The mind reels..........We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Both started out as great SF series with great senses of humor. Then both started taking themselves way to seriously.
They're sci-fi junk for crying out loud. Why can't we have fun with them anymore??

Wars made better movies, but in terms of overall plot/believability, Trek I think was much better."Beauty is not in the face...Beauty is a light in the heart." - Kahlil Gibran

oops. Well I read somewhere that one of the creators had a Navyu background which led to the use of Naval ranks, etc. on the space vessels.Originally posted by Lonestar

Found this on the internet:
I have always liked Star Trek. I watched the original show in the 60's, waited eagerly for the first movie in the 70's, and then later in the 80's got hooked all over again on Star Trek: The Next Generation. It has been good television, good science fiction, and occasionally even good film. Some things, nevertheless, have driven me crazy: (1) Picard and Riker both giving commands, in tandem, on the bridge is absurd. One person has the conn or has the deck on a ship, and it is dangerous to have any confusion about that (see quote above). As Executive Officer, Riker wouldn't even be on the bridge in ordinary circumstances. (2) There doesn't seem to be anything like a regular watch on the bridge. In one show a big point is made that only a full commander can have bridge command, but nothing is more common on the show than to have scenes where all the senior officers of the ship are in some conference or other, leaving who knows who directing the ship on the bridge--unless there are full commanders who aren't part of the regular cast. The writers don't seem to know what naval lieutenants are for--to be the officers of the deck. And (3) Star Trek has never known what admirals are for. The first Star Trek movie has a farcical conflict over whether Admiral Kirk or the newly assigned captain will assume command of the Enterprise. One wonders what Horatio Nelson and Captain Hardy were both doing on the HMS Victory. Later, Star Trek: The Next Generation refers to the Enterprise as the "flag ship" of Star Fleet, without apparently realizing that a flag ship is a ship with a "flag," i.e. a flag officer, an admiral. A Star Trek admiral seems to be some kind of shore officer.Comment
