    Star Wars. Unlike ST, it's fans are not exclusively geeks.

      In 2005, Forbes Magazine estimated the overall revenue generated by the entire Star Wars franchise (over the course of its 28-year history) at nearly $20 billion U.S., easily making it the most successful film franchise ever.

              Ah, but Fivers pwn them both. We gots realistic physics.
              Gaters are wery effective too. We gots Carter, a considerably hawt supergeek. It all balances...
              Warsies are only interested in yields.
              Trekkies technobabble too much.
              Galacticans are gaining rapidly, but then again, they really have to start making babies.
              Scapers are still running.
              Time Lords are all but extinct, no point dating.

              I've allways wanted to play "Russ Meyer's Civilization"

                You ARE joking right? Time Lords are on their way back.

                  One guy makes a shallow gene pool.

                    Well, actually, according to the new series, the Time Lords ARE extinct.

                      In other words, you're geeks, and won't get laid.

                          Eh? How can they be extinct if one is left?

                            Star Wars fans are bigger nerds. Why?

                              Both fans are the biggest nerds. Some (like myself) are even fans of both.

                              "Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

                                No one in Apolyton has a right to call anyone else a nerd, as by definition, someone in Apolyton is a nerd.
