Don't know if this has already been posted, but:

It has practical applications, and let's be frank, it's about the ugliest space ship I've ever seen. Even the cool ships like the Romulan Bird of Prey look better if they stay cloaked. In stark contrast, you have a ship called a Star Destroyer that's designed to defeat entire FLEETS of other ships. Those of you that think the Enterprise would stand a chance need to put down the Red Bull and make your way carefully back to the door marked "Logic."
Pretty good article :D Not exactly a parody, more like a rant

So for now, let's put an end to this bickering and enjoy our genres, be they in a distant future or long ago. I think a part of all of us can appreciate the skin-tight outfits of Deanna Troi and the kick-ass armor of the biker scouts. We can be glad these creators gave us what we know and love as Star Wars and Star Trek and be happy that we're not fans of the galactically nauseating Battlefield Earth series
Heh, this was an interesting read.

I like how he refuses to use Amidala in the sex part because the new trilogy is crap but uses Watto in as an example in the aliens rant :roll:

Which Enterprise is he talking about? I cant be stuffed reading the whole thing.
Voyager summed up in 1 quote:

Neelix: These people dont appreciate what they have! This ship is the match of anything in a hundred lightyears, yet what do they do with it?
(fake voice) Oh, well lets go find some space anomaly today that'll rip it apart!

Or, even more ironically, he uses both Seven and T'pol as examples, despite the fact that their respective series were FAR more divergent from the Original than Episode I or II.
