Since nothing in this community is about technology we might as well talk about science fiction. (lemmy.world)

All the stories on the FP are about labor relations and corporate shenanigans. So anyway, do you like Star Trek or Star Wars better? Anybody still ike to read old school sci fi, for example I really love Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League stories - the swashbuckling adventures of intersteller trador Nicholas van Rijn and his Solar Spice and Liquors company, David Falkayne, et al. Good old basic space opera.

I watched a lot more Star Trek as a kid but it's always the Star Wars universe that I feel drawn to. I can't really quantify it, I think it's just an aesthetic thing. I suppose Star Wars feels more 'wild west'.

Old school sci-fi: am re-reading the Asimov robot stories again. Always something new to reflect on.

Star Wars does feel more wild west. One thing I've wanted ever since TOS ended was a series about low-end people in the Star Trek universe - the crew of a little spaceship, on a par with Harry Mudd or Cyrano Jones (the tribble dude) making their way around the galaxy, having only occasional involvement with Starfleet. Basically what Firefly gave us, which is one reason I LOVED that show. What a shame it only lasted one season.
