Arghhh, this just begs for a reply

I like Star Wars (the original three). I don't like all Star Trek episodes ever made. But there is no such thing as "the same old repetitive storyline" in Star Trek. When Star Trek was young it was groundbreaking. Just as groundbreaking as Star Wars was when it came out. Even TNG showed us things never made before. Episodes like Time and Again even spawned a movie or two (Groundhog Day). The introduction of the Borg created a Sci Fi iconic enemy. After TNG things went downhill I agree but still there was no repetitive storyline insight. Even Enterprise has it's moments. Over 400 episodes and ten films have been made of Star Trek in total and although I would not call Star Trek "fresh" anymore it can still entertain even in Enterprise.
Star Wars has had five films in total and after the third one the series became a bland parody of itself. Where the first trilogy was a light and entertaining venture in new sci fi waters the new ones take themselves far too seriously. Watching it we are forcibly made to take all we see as word of God. No longer are we allowed to enjoy this time we spend in the cinema but we are watching a moralizing history lesson.
In short Star Trek has held in there far longer then Star Wars ever will.
