Hop on Space Nerd! It's time to answer the most critical question: Which franchise is better? Star Wars or Star Trek? Actually, this question is much deeper than you might think; It's not just about the different movies, TV shows, or certain Holiday specials we don't talk about. It's not even about the toys, the merch, or the soundtracks. It's also NOT about the Cons, The cosplays, or the hall H panels. This is actually about science vs. fantasy, about marine warfare vs. Medieval combat. It's torpedoes vs. swords, fleet commanders vs. knights.

Star Wars is a wonderful mish-mash of ancient legends, WW2 warfare, spaghetti westerns, knights, princesses, and monsters, all set in space. Star Trek is about giant ships discovering new grounds, finding new civilizations, and engaging in extremely slow and calculated combat in space.  So which one is better? Who cares? They are both amazing and both deserve the best memes possible!
