    This crossword sucks, none of the other answers make any sense if you write in stargate.

    The devious part is Star Wars fans will think “it’s a trap” on the down, which makes the best franchise Trek. Very good troll!

      Star Trek fans would think “it’s a wrap”

        Eh “it’s a trap” is better known.

        I know “that’s a wrap” just from random Hollywood stuff to wrap up filming.

    When I started my current job, my boss and one of the older guys there asked me “star trek or star wars” after I mentioned liking sci fi (they preferred the different franchises respectively and were looking for a tiebreaker for their banter or something I guess). Got a laugh out of them by replying with “stargate”.

      “Star Track or Space Wars… Oh no you misunderstand… The Doc won science fiction in 1954 with Lensman, it was so good that they stopped making Sci-Fi. But I’m sure your things are just fine, I guess.” Looks like you missed that opportunity, better luck next time.

    The battle in the 9th book between Luke Skywalker and Voldemort in Middle Earth is top tier television. Star Trek is probably the best action movie ever made. Jackie Chan absolutely nailed the role of Dr. Who.

    RIP Ian Fleming. It was your masterpiece.

    So … does this mean there are other Sci-Fi franchises known as …

    • STAR TRES
    • STAR TRRS
    • STAR TARK
    • STAR WARK
    • STAR WAES
    • STAR WREK

    because according to the clues given and probable answers, these are all correct … and if you argue between two scifi franchises … the answers never give as to which of the two they are.

    You’re all missing the obvious answer of TekWar. There’s an error made by the publisher here.

    I think there’s a mistake with 71 down - you need to add a few spaces and change it to “FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE”.
