Science Says Star Wars Blows Up Better Than Star Trek

[bojac6]

(For the record, I do not think we need to wait for science. If there is a character from Star Trek sexier than Princess Leia, I haven't seen the episode. And I've seen all the episodes.)

The infamous "Decontamination" skit in Enterprise?

Yeah, good try, but I argue not even close. The scene in Enterprise is kind of just hilarious instead of hot. You're sitting there facepalming the whole time at this blatant attempt at fan service. Also, I never really found T'pol that hot, she's just shaped well, has no character whatsoever and has a stupid haircut.

Seven of Nine.

Weird and awkward boob job. I know a lot of this is personal taste, but just like T'Pol, she looked great, but hard to really fantasize about as a character. She's just there for looks but never makes you actually like her.

So Star Wars has a slightly more realistic space explosion? Uh.... so?
I say the Praxis explosion looks cooler though.

Firefly still wins for not having sound in space.

Suck on that, Trekkies and... Wookies?

Bah Humbug!

But firefly did have some badass outfits.

so you may be on to something.

Who will win between Star Wars and Star Trek? There's only one way to find out...

FIGHT

Those scientists.. They must have plenty of free time in their hands.

God I fucking love this video. Especially when Vader does the big fuck you force choke the whole crew for making fun of his lasers.

EDIT
Whoops, I was talking about the wrong video.

THIS is the one I was referring to.

Oh I'm well aware of the whole rivalry. Although I've never understood it because I enjoy both franchises, although Star Trek less so of late.
This is like celebrating a win at the Olympics because the opponent forgot to brush his teeth or some stupid shit like that and got disqualified.

 

[Space Jawa]

In other words, science says both are still stupid, and we should just continue to enjoy them as the special effects they are.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Does this even matter?
Eh, still like Star Trek better. At least it has better ship-to-ship battles IMO.

You know, I read in one of those kid science magazines when I was around twelve or so that Lucas actually got the whole exploding star thing right the first time. You know, the first version of Star Wars before the CGI? So for me, this kind of makes any competition between these two over their rings a moot point.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

I think seeing a planet being swallowed up by a black hole, a supernova and an antimatter explosion in Star Trek 2009 tops that tiddly little moon Death Star.

Why'd you have to say Death Star?

I could have said it! And you ruined it for me!

For the record, I have never watched an episode of Star Trek nor all the Star Wars films. This doesn't concern me.

Does this really matter at all?? I love both franchises though I prefer Star Trek. Honestly, while it's cool and you know, 'one more point for Star Wars' and all that... Does this matter? Both franchises began in the 70's, before the cynical age, so does anyone really care? They're both considered pulp sci-fi, and everyone knows to never take either franchise too seriously on their science. So can we just let it go?

 

[gigastrike]

This matters?

Holy hell! What an upset!

 

[ResiEvalJohn]

This article is way too nerdcore for me. Starwars and Startrek are both good franchises, what's the point of figuring out which one has a better explosion?
