TNG is my all time favorite TV series (season three being my favorite of the seven seasons) and the Star Wars OT (in unaltered form) is a timeless masterpiece of a trilogy that I can watch over and over again. I'll just say I love them both (when Star Trek is done right) rather than try to make a pointless comparison. However, if it's a movie to movie thing (which would be fairer than comparing a TV show to a motion picture), I'd give it to Star Wars for sure.

Fortunately that didn't last past the first season and was a rare sighting either way.

He violated it many times when he felt he had to. (

Well, I think Star Trek generally went downhill (even if there are some good episodes you can pick out from later episodes and series) after Gene Roddenberry died (and also after Ron Jones stopped composing for episodes), so I won't comment on the stupid ideas of Berman and Braga. Berman feels the need to have a "science conflict" in every episode regardless of whether or not it fits with what the episode is about. And he was against the concept of the episode
Darmok, which most would agree is one of the best TNG episodes, so he just sucks in my eyes.

Couldn't agree more.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
