Star Wars or Star Trek? It's one of the great debates in human history.
In one corner you have the greatest fantasy epic of our time, an intergalactic space opera set a long time ago in a galaxy far far away pitting the heroic underdog forces of good against the dark side of evil. In the other corner you have a sci-fi juggernaut of the silver and small screen exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, and boldly going where no sci-fi series had gone before.
Nerds have been arguing for years in chat rooms, message boards and cosplay conventions about which series is best, and in an obvious sign of today's trying times, those debates are now turning violent.
Check out this funny but not funny story via KOKH. I guess a friendly debate about the merits of Star Wars and Star Trek escalated into a brawl...
Police say a fight over Star Trek and Star Wars led to an assault in the metro.
Jerome Dewayne Whyte, 23, was arrested July 1 on a complaint of assault and battery, possession of marijuana and outstanding Oklahoma County warrants.
Oklahoma City Police Department reports show that Whyte and another man were in the living room of an apartment in the 1400 block of NW 16 Street when they began arguing if Star Wars or Star Trek was better. The victim told police he became frustrated and stated "You're just a trick" before walking back to his room.
