Blasphemer.
I saw a post the other day on another board that kind of summed it up for me, re: ST vs SW. SW was about "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." ST was about OUR world, and presented a hopeful future. As an angry optimist, I naturally gravitate toward the ST world. It suggests that at some point, we actually pull our heads out of our asses and get it together...granted, not for a long time; but eventually. I like that vision.
SW is (or was) good entertainment, but ST had a level of social commentary I enjoyed - and still enjoy to this day.
