Star Trek. Used to be a pretty big Star Wars fan but am currently enjoying what star trek has to offer more. Actually, I wouldn’t say just enjoying, but rather being invested every time I watch some Trek. I think episodes in TNG and DS9 are just so well scripted & engaging. Some of my preferred Star Wars content like The Clone Wars just isn’t as nuanced in my opinion, the whole series just seems to be heavily focused on blowing things up a lot of the time. Shooting the others or swinging the sabers.
Don’t get me wrong, ANH, TESB, ROTJ and ROTS I think are movies that will always be timeless and admittedly more accessible to the average person than most of Star Trek. Still, so much other media already involves tangible action-based conflict, wars, battles & the like. Can seem numbing and unnecessary after a while. My current more politically oriented mind I think finds more inspiration in Trek’s “how do we prevent a war & injustice” approach as opposed to “how do we best fight this war?”
