?Star? Franchise Life Lessons

[Gomendosi]

Among Sci-Fi fans there are three that stand out, not all are the pinnacle of Sci-Fi but they stand out because of a common prefix? Star.

In no particular order, they are: Star Trek --- Stargate --- Star Wars

I wondered, for fans which has the best life lessons embedded in it?s mythos or do you only like a particular one because it?s _ _ _ _ (insert descriptor here)



PS; I am not biased, I happen to love Babylon 5, Red Dwarf, Farscape, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who and even Buck Rogers was morally influential after a fashion.
So if you don?t prefer any of the three ?Star? franchises, then feel free to talk about what Sci-Fi ethically led you when you were growing up ; ]

Being a fan of all three mentioned, I find it difficult to pick just one. I think that they have their share of great messages, life lessons, philosophical value, symbolic, etc. I liked Stargate (mainly SG-1) because there was a sense of unparalleled camaraderie with the characters who were all good friends and helped one another. True, that this also has occurred in the other two (Star Trek and Star Wars) just not in an as genuine, frequent, or large scale manner in comparison to SG-1, so it may seem but it is debatable. When I was attending college, I spent my breaks having lunch and watching all the episodes of Stargate SG-1 over a period of time from start to finish. (Its important to note that I was more of a Hermit, and far less social back then as well) I eventually went on to Stargate Atlantis, which also has the same level of powerful camaraderie as seen in SG-1 (just different characters) Both SG-1 and Atlantis had a positive impact in my life. As has Star Trek and Star Wars for different reasons. I can elaborate further on those, but for now this is fine.

the only thing I can say is that I loved personalities of these two





Has anybody watched Torchwood? Why did HBO have to ruin the show! (Just an opinion)

Captain Jack is awesome as well

well... OK... who doesn't love this guy?



as for lesson... didn't you wish you were a little bit like those pips? oh wait... I am already awesome

and what I like about them: patience, wisdom, laughter in a face of danger, love for adventure

Captain Piccard was awesome. I really liked Star Trek TNG. I used to watch it on TV when I was a kid.

I am Locutus of Borg if he mind melded with Spock.

People have arguments with me in the face of my unwavering logic and then they get upset when I don?t appear to become emotional about it, I do then tend to become emotional, but only in response to their inability to see a differing standpoint and accept discussion on a rational adult level?
Humans are emotional response based and I seem to come from anther cosmos that has its responses based in understanding before action.

I told somebody today that I no longer want to associate with them due to the fact that they deal with issues between us by exploding at me during the event and then forgetting the incident ever took place, while I feel I have to understand what led to the event, how it transpired in their opinion and how it can be avoided in the future, but as they have ?moved on? there is now a denial of closure for me, and as they then can become more relaxed with me from that point, I am obviously now more apprehensive towards them not knowing what will set them off the next time.

I simply cannot exist like that on a daily basis.

Why the hell is it that a full grown rational adult will act like a spoilt child when something occurs and then label me as irrational or ?an arsehole? when I am just using words to try to work through to a conclusion for myself.

Maybe I am actually Lieutenant Commander Data and my positronic brain is simply malfunctioning, perhaps I should install the emotion chip to gain a better understanding of my fellow man?

Original Star Trek-as a kid my father invited me in to watch Star Trek with him [my first time.] I always thought my father, half athlete, book & street smart, was the perfect Captain Kirk. I tried to be like him. As any Trekie knows, the original episodes teach you things about life etc.

Stargate Universe was interesting, though less famous.
