Perhaps you're upset because our passion doesn't need some silly nickname just to keep people interested? Really though, why this ... hmm... hatred between the two? I never understood... its just a bunch of movies or tv shows... really...

Some Star Wars fans hate some "Trekkies" and vise versa because they are the two top Sci Fi movies/TV shows of all time.

 

I personally see no need to have a newfangled nickname. I am, however, a Darth, so I guess we just add "Darth" to the first part of our name/state/country to publicly proclaim it. :P

Dunno, I think the Trekkies have more conflict with fans of other scifi, esp Star Wars. I've heard a lot of complaints that SW isn't true scifi, isn't real, etc... but its a space opera and no: its not any more real than Star Trek :)

 

Star Wars fans are a diverse lot, they like many things including Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Bablyon 5, etc, etc, etc.

Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Oh, yes, one ought to hear all about how Star Wars is clearly a rip-off of Star Trek :roll: "We came out first, therfor any Sci Fi series MUST be a cheap knock-off of ours!"

My favorite television sci-fi show is Futurama. They knock off of Star Wars all the time. Whether its the cops with light sabers or the Near-Death Star as an elderly person retirement home. Always plenty of laughs.

Futurama does spoofs of everything though.

 

Like Cylon & Garfunkel!

Anyone ever see the episode where they had to fight with the cast from Star Trek??

I'd be Master Ikeda then? Seeing as how the Jedi are all "Master" or "Padawan".

Oh gosh, that was hilarious. Also, I love the first episode of the series when Fry runs into Lenard Nemoys head in the museum, and the lady comes over and feeds him goldfish flakes :lol:

They play Futurama almost every night on cartoon network and late fridays on TBS Mad.

 

I think the episode with the giant ball of 20th century garbage is coming back to destroy New New York is the best.

Disregarding all new evidence everywhere.

I call myself a Star Wars fanatic, myself.

 

Of course, I'm the kind of guy who washes his hands after brushing up against a Star Tr-ech! DVD. (I usually refer to it as 'Star Trash', actually. But that might be impolite.)

Personally, I find it entertaining...like Yankees/ Red Sox, Ohio State/ Michigan, Giants/ Cowboys, and Islanders/ Rangers., it makes for a good rivalry
