    I choose the third option. Stargate all the way.

    Seriously, though, I got nothing, apart from, if there's one thing fandoms like to ***** about more than the thing they're fans of, it's the thing other people are fans of.
    Cool, Would be nice to see a star gate mmorpg.

    I personally love Star Wars and Star Trek, but I think many fans have the love/hate thing because the two franchises seem similar on the surface but are actually completely different genres.

    Sure, they both are massive, decades old franchises that have "Star" in the title. And sure, they both take place in space. But the similarities really end there.

    Star Trek is pseudo-sci fi. Star Wars is a space fantasy.

    So to me, it makes perfect sense that someone might love one but hate the other. Star Wars has more in common with Lord of the Rings than it has with Star Trek.

    I know plenty of sci fi fans who love Star Trek, but aren't into Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. That makes sense to me, because Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are about heroes, magic, good and evil, and high adventure.

    Star Trek is about the future and exploration and science (sort of).


    I agree Star Trek has a lot of real world engineers and technicians as fans because of that veneer of plausibility or they relate to the characters and their jobs. Some episodes are like a medical drama or procedural in space. It also tries to predict the future of cool gadgets and tech like a James Bond film.

    Star wars is a fairy tale. Instead of once upon a time it starts with: A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away....
