Star Wars was overblown. The first movie was OK, an original. Good story about the good guys winning against the Evil Empire. What’s not to like?
I never watched any of the “new” Star Wars movies. From what I hear, Episode One is like watching CSPAN with a Reggae mascot.
Now Star Trek was always more cerebral.
Firefly was about rugged individuals, not wanting to be part of a central authority. Americans, in other words. Cowboys. Outlaws, but only because they had to survive.
I like the way the 2 new Star Trek movies went back to the kick ass style of TOS-good guys who don’t take a bunch of crap, even if it means pushing the envelope.
I think I liked Admiral Adama’s character in Battlestar Galactica-and the girl Starbuck’s for that reason-same attitude as Captain Kirk...
