Last week I listened to an interesting conversation.  A couple of coworkers were chatting, and it turned to the new Star Wars movie.  One of the guys mentioned that he had always been a Star Trek fan, that he had grown up with it and never really got into Star Wars.

Suddenly it dawned on me that this is the first time I’ve ever actually heard anyone say anything like this.  The stereotype is that the two franchises have rabid fans who will defend their choice over the other all the time.  But what I’ve encountered in reality is people who may have a preference, but tend to be a fan of both.

Just an interesting observation, and maybe I don’t get involved deeply enough in the internet to truly get it.
