I thought this was kind of funny and lame so thought I would post this here. First posted on FO forums.

Star Wars and Star Trek very probably have the most rabid fans known to geekdom. But they're constantly trying to one up each other! What's better! Who's more awesome! Even the stars—William Shatner and Carrie Fisher—have gotten into it with each other. STOP IT. NO MORE. There's a bigger enemy out there: Twilight.

George Takei made a hilarious video encouraging fans of each franchise to put away the bad blood and competition between Star Wars/Trek and unite against a common enemy: those dreadful sparkly vampire teeny bopper movies that are ruining everything and killing taste in humanity. He sums it up best here:

Sci-fi fans be warned, there are no great stories, characters or profound life lessons to be found in Twilight... In Twilight, the only message that rings through loud and clear is: 'Does my boyfriend like me?'"

Die, sparklepires! I'm thinking of making a social group as long as I can make a good icon.

Freely qouting Karl Marx:
"Science" Fiction fans of the world unite.

Yes, this is a completly legitimate call for action! I have been forced to watch the first part of this "Twilight" stuff (by a girl. never mind. did not work out anyway. I am not a Dr. Chase) and it is HORRIBLE!

May I add a bit of B5?

So far I did not find a girl who would have worth the suffering of watching this... something. Except when I found one, she didn't want to watch it either :D
