No its just a preference. The original Star Trek made many social statements that still resonate today. If you lived during the era when Star Trek aired you would understand how ground breaking that series was.
Then as Trekkie's kept begging finally (20+ years later) in 1987 around here comes the TNG with a boring Capt. Piccard. Funny you used the word intellectual, because that's how TNG came off as opposed to Star Trek which some called a western shoot um up in outer space.
But don't get me wrong its the TNG TV series I have issues with, the movies are much better.
Star Trek.....of course
I feel the same way. Star Trek has a much more adult storyline. Star Wars seemed to me a childish storyline that was repetitive and not as flexible as it could be. How many motherfucker death-stars are you on the fucking build to realize that shit doesn't workAs a kid and as a teen, Star Wars. As an adult, Star Trek without question. Star Wars gave me that feeling of adventure and excitement but Star Trek covered some deep heavy material that really hit close to home.
damn, that's cold but accurate
Not even the suckage of Episodes 1-3 can negate that.
yea... they were turrible. There is a fan edit that is on youtube that makes them watchable...I finally watched 1-3 a few months ago and was like . They sucked ass.
Empire Strikes back is one of the best movies of all time.
