It’s an argument that has been raging for decades: Which franchise dominates? ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Star Trek?’
The question has been hotly debated even by stars of both franchises (remember the William Shatner vs. Carrie Fischer feud with George Takei asking for a cease fire?). Now, with J.J. Abrams controlling the films of both franchises, the flames of debate have risen higher.
Today’s infographic takes the two franchises and looks at them both critically judging them on the basis of number of films, box office gross, Awards counts, social media followers and the like.

Janice Kay
Janice's first memories of the genre were of watching the original 'Star Trek' and classic 'Doctor Who' episodes (Tom Baker, aka the Fourth Doctor, was her first). Soon, she was introduced to 'Godzilla' and her addiction then spread to books, magazines, movies and comics. Janice continued as a closet geek as her thirst and love for sci-fi grew and was only second to her love of baking. Then one night, on a whim, she answered a tweet to be a writer for ScienceFiction.com and the geek girl insider her was soon set free. Within 3 years she became the Senior Editor for the site. When not writing or editing for ScienceFiction.com, Janice is scouring the internet to feed her sci-fi cravings while defending conspiracy theories, protecting scientific theorems and loving all things science fiction.... and baking cookies.
