This is from today's junk emails. I can't watch YouTube clips via my
dial-up connection, but it apparently has a foregone conclusion since it
is Captain Kirk talking ...


William Shatner on why Star Trek is better than Star Wars
---------------------------------------------------------
Takeaway: The geek debate Star Trek v. Star Wars is discussed by
none other than the original Captain James Tiberius Kirk in this
three-minute video:

In a humorous and heavily tongue-in-cheek interview, William
Shatner shares his thoughts about how Star Trek differs from
Star Wars and which one is better. Much of the commentary
Shatner makes is pro-Star Trek, which is no surprise because of
his association with the franchise and because of his desire to
be in the next reboot movie. Several of his arguments are valid,
some points are obvious jokes, and other statements are
incorrect in my opinion. One example is his statement that Star
Wars is a derivative of Star Trek, which is not true, as their
respective sub-genres are completely different. Star Wars is
very action-adventure whereas Star Trek is more about the human
equation. Babylon 5 is a better example of being derivative of
Star Trek.
