They both started good but got progressively worse with each revival until J. J. Abrams destroyed them both.
I’ll always be more of a Star Wars fan, though, since I grew up in a time when Star Wars was still good but Star Trek was already going down the toilet.
Indeed: Grap, wAist, payeTs, leaEed
Huh. Doesn’t work.
Funny,
Lexxonly has four letters…“It’s a crap!”
Leaeed indeed
You missed BABYLONV.
Oh snap it does fit
Just need to tighten my woistband a bit
Maybe that one is from Spaceballs, which is just the woist. :)
“It was the best of times, it was the WOIST OF TIMES‽”
It has either three letters too many or one letter too few, depending on whether or not you abbreviate.
Evil that “It’s a trap” only works with Star Trek.
I doubt I would have ever figured “leased” as something being “let out, in a way”.
But “It’s a wrap!” is a perfectly valid answer for filming either.
They had to show their bias somehow ;)
I think you meant Star Wars, since that is where the meme comes from.
No they mean the answer to the clue is “it’s a trap” only if you answer “star trek” to the which sci fi is better value.
If you write “Star Wars,” then the correct answer is “It’s a wrap,” even though the Star Wars fan will likely think of “It’s a trap” first. If you write “Star Trek,” then the correct answer is “It’s a trap!” which does not come from Star Trek.
Seems they spelled “Stargate” incorrectly. 😞
You misspelled “Battlestar Galactica”
You both goofed when typing Duck Dodgers (in the 24½th Century)

I think they reused the gimmick because I definitely remember this from a few days ago
Now that’s pretty clever.
Yesterday in which year? This is ancient.
A long time ago. In a crossword far away.
No idea. It was my first time seeing it, so I just thought it was neat and wanted to share.
Me too, I appreciated it.
Props to the designer, that must have felt amazing to turn in
Yesterday puzzmo.com did it with “what colour was the dress”. You could either answer blue or gold and it fit. But it wasn’t as good as this one. And I don’t think You can access archived crosswords on puzzmo.
Edit: It was today, so You can still access it for a couple of hours.
Solution here for reference:
spoiler
Stargate doesn’t work, call the editor.
Minor nitpick but it’s not “It’s a wrap”, it’s “that’s a wrap.”
If I were doing this I’d be saying “what the fuck is StarWAEK?”
Star wrek? At first I read it as star twerk.

But one is a space western 🤔
Of course, space westerns aren’t science fiction. Cowboys were constantly traveling to other worlds. Why do you think they always ride off into the sunset? They’re doing a slingshot around the sun so that they don’t wear out their horses.
Exactly! But fair point. They do lean a lot more into the fiction though.
