    Trek, Who, or Huh?

    Definitely Who, but I also like Trek (well, at least the latest movies )

    I don't like the recent Trek movies much. But i loved the tv shows. I did like much of Who, but the writing has suffered in the Capaldi era. Jenna's acting was really good and she helped keep it afloat so I don't really feel like watching it much anymore. I don't really get into the grumpy old man paradigm. I felt the previous Doctors were handled better in terms of script and casting. The younger fellows seem like a better idea also, although Matt Smith's character started to get wonky during the final two episodes which was frustrating... also due to the writing.

    I agree that writing is key. And directing. I've seen good actors come across as stiff because of the writing. I was always a Trek fan until I started watching Doctor Who. Now if I could only pick one, it would be Who. For the most part, it's very clever.

    I haven't given up on Star Trek though, and was pleased to see Noel Clarke in Star Trek Into Darkness. I just hope the Star Trek writers don't sacrifice good writing for CG sensationalism. That gets boring after awhile

    Same here. I remember the original series in the 60's, and still love it. The Next Gen is my second favorite, but not so much the other spin-offs. I used to watch Dr. Who in the 70's for a while, but lost interest.

    I'd have to say that Voyager is my Trek fav. Enterprise my least.

    You absolutely need to watch the reboot (2005 onward). The earlier version was pretty boring by today's standards, but they've done an excellent job with the new version.

    Both. Each offers something unique but both take us out of the box of mediocrity.

    Anything Trek EXCEPT the 2 J.J. Abrams ones. They stunk and now he's gonna do it to Star Wars as well.
