Star Trek: TNG, The Watcher and Mr. Mxyzptlk

 

I've been getting a kick out of What If? on Disney+.  The animation style took some getting used to, but now I think it's pretty cool.  My favorite episode so far has been the Dr. Strange-centric one.  Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher is so good that I hope he brings the role to live action in a future movie.  I have a feeling we'll be seeing some of the characters and storyline in this show included in upcoming MCU films.

Commander Riker Vs. Darth Vader

I never really got the debate about which was better, Star Wars or Star Trek, because I loved both franchises as a kid.  For me the differences in them were less about the types of technology they used or the mythology they followed, rather it was how the stories were presented.  Star Wars seemed to follow the Western mode, with characters weaving in and out of an epic tale.  Star Trek felt more like a police procedural show, always beginning every story from a set location and having the characters deal with outside influences.
