Damn. Why can’t people understand that ST and SW are two completely different things that can have equal value in pop culture? I love ST:TNG, but the other series just bored me to death. Likewise, I like the back story to SW, but Eps. I and II sucked horribly, and the first trilogy that is really the second trilogy but is still considered the first isn’t all that exciting for the most part.
Likewise, the whole Cubs vs. Sox thing in Chi-town is ridiculous! I first loved the Cubs because they had Ryno and Andre Dawson and Mark Grace. Then I liked the Sox, turning my back on the Cubs, because of the Big Hurt, Ozzie and…I loved the uniforms when they went back to the classic look. I know, that’s kind of wierd, but the black and white pinstripes and the calligraphic logo were so sweet. Then came the strike, which took away my interest in baseball altogether (the same thing happened with basketball a few years later). And now that the Chicago teams are actually getting better again, I wonder wtf is the big deal about being a Cubs fan vs. being a Sox fan?
I think Rich put it best when he theorized that it’s probably just a socio-economic class issue. North-siders get chastized for being Sox fans and south-siders get beat for being Cubs fans; they’re neighbors see them as "one of those." I think the same probably goes for the SW vs. ST debate. The SW fans are all about emotion and the past, whereas trekkers (notice the bias in my vocabulary
) are logical and think to the future. Anyways, this early morning rant has gone on long enough. I should eat some breakfast.
