TrekWars Battle of the Geeks

Sorry guys for missing the 'I Miss You Blogfest.' I was caught hopping galaxies when my Shuttlecraft reactor engines blew up in the Andromeda Galaxy cutting me off from Ninja Command Headquarters.

Film Riot on Vimeo.

So heres a little Sci Fi comedy to make you laugh. In this Trek Wars video Star Trek fan is chilling with his friend kicking back some chips, enjoying sci-fi, watching (J.J. Abram's) Star Trek 2009 on tv. Now you may think what you don't know can't hurt, right? Wrong! It soon emerges that Trek dudes friend is a Star Wars fan meaning a battle of epic proportions will ensue after the full fatal disclosure. Its funny watching these dorks geeking out. Let the trek wars games begin. I love the bit,

'Dude, you bring a lightsaber to a phaser fight?'

Trekker guy should've laughed at Star Wars guy except the unexpected happens. Its like DUDE, you're such a nerd for not knowing this!!! (Star Wars guy swishes his lightsaber around, stunning his Star Trek mate with a fascinating, shocking sci-fi revelation. So what happens when you shoot a phaser at a light saber? Who wins the green light saber vs phaser battle? hmm. You decide.


The best happens when the girlfriends walk in on them and geeks being geeks...



Nerd long and Prosper, Trek'n vaders!

Science Fiction Super-hero 100


Superman topped the Stratego Top 100 Sci FI character list recently as the Greatest Science Fiction Character of all Time beating Star Wars and Dr Who. Star Trek too sniff. Its great news for super hero fans everywhere to know that Christopher Reeves 'Man of Steel' from planet Krypton lives on. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No Its Superman!

There is light at the end of the wormhole for Star Trek fans too! Trek's longest running classic show with the original series Captain Kirk (played by William Shatner) commander of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 reached lucky No 7 spot. Good ol' Jean Luc Picard from TNG made 10th. In second place was Han Solo of Star Wars, while Jedi master Yoda, was third in the poll voted for by 2000 people living in the UK..

Why is it Star Wars always pips Star Trek at the post?


I was delighted to see Ellen Ripley, heroine from Alien Movies and Galaxy Quest fighting her way in at 21st position because Ripley's an awesome female lead. Remember Gorman? 'Do Something!!!' F**K.'

I'm surprised Sigourney Weaver didn't get a higher poll position but you can blame Cabin in the Woods for denting her tough-guy reputation.


Its kind of funny to see 'Ripley' get booted off into an abyss without yelling or clawing her way back.

The highest ranked female in Stratego poll marks the release of a new sci fi game with Ripley taking names and kicking butt no less. Ah ha, favouritism! I hear you say but rest assured this Sci Fi Warrior made a lasting impression on me in a galaxy long, long ago.

I'm satisfied Ripley's ranking over Princess Leia from STAR WARS who trailed in after her at No 25 is much deserved. Now I bet theres a fight worth seeing?

Who's your Favorite Science Fiction hero?





Live Long and Prosper, Trekinators!
