Maybe it's guy thing like the Three Stooges, or maybe it's an Adams Family vs. Munsters thing. I'm not sure. But when I asked my husband which he liked better, Star Wars or Star Trek, I was actually taken aback, not only at his answer, but at the speed and velocity in which it was given. STAR WARS!! I think I actually said, "REALLY?"
All I remember of Star Wars was an annoying gold robot, a green troll, and some funny looking guys in white armor.
Now Star Trek... that brings to mind ensigns in red shirts, Spock in all of his green blooded loveliness, Scotty's ability to multiply the time he needs by 4 just to get it done in 1/4 time and look like a genious, living long and prosper... I could go on, really and truly I could.
So today, I made the mistake in asking him, "WHY? Why on earth do you like Star Wars better?"
His answer was short, sweet and full of utter sincerity. "Because Star Trek has no basis in reality."
When the laughing susbided and I was finally able to breathe again, I looked up to see him shaking his head and walking out of the room. I think I might have hurt his feelings.
